Will Austin Reaves come back from oblique injury for Lakers in Game 4?
Here's the latest on Austin Reaves and his oblique injury ahead of Lakers-Rockets Game 4 on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Lakers are riding high. Even without Luka Donฤiฤ and Austin Reaves, the Lakers are on the verge of completing a decisive sweep of the Houston Rockets in their first-round playoff series. Part of that success stems from LeBron James playing some of the finest basketball of his career at the age of 41 .
He has truly turned back the clock. But you also have to credit role players like Marcus Smart for stepping up and making winning plays when it matters most. Things are going so well for the Lakers lately that Reaves, who injured his oblique in early April, might return for Sunday's Game 4 in Houston.
Huh. Wow. Everything is truly coming up great for Los Angeles now: Austin Reaves is once again questionable for Game 4, per the Lakers pic.
