The Los Angeles Lakers entered Wednesday's matchup with a 10-2 record, sitting atop the Western Conference standings. The LA team once again delivered an impressive start against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the biggest concern emerged when Lakers star Austin Reaves exited the game with an apparent injury.
Reaves took himself out of the game and was seen limping toward the back. He seemingly picked up the injury after attempting a running dunk in the third quarter. He has now been ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a heel injury.
Though Reaves showed signs of discomfort, he initially remained on the court and continued playing. However, with 5:20 remaining in the quarter, he called for a substitution before heading toward the locker room alongside team personnel, visibly struggling to walk.
