💨 Abstract

The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Suns without star guard Austin Reaves, who is out for at least a week due to a left calf strain. Reaves, who is having a career year, has struggled in the Lakers' last two games. Coach JJ Redick emphasized caution in Reaves' recovery to avoid potential Achilles issues. The Lakers also aim to improve their defense, which has been struggling, particularly against younger, quicker players.
