Optimistiko si Austin Reaves ng Lakers sa pagbabalik sa Game 5

Optimistiko ang guard ng Los Angeles Lakers na si Austin Reaves na makakapaglaro sa Game 5 laban sa Houston Rockets sa Miyerkules ng gabi, ayon sa ESPN. Pinamumunuan ng Lakers ang first-round playoff series sa 3-1 kahit wala sina Reaves at Luka Dončić. Hindi nakapaglaro si Reaves simula noong Abril 2 dahil sa oblique strain.

Nagtamo si Reaves ng oblique strain noong regular season loss sa Oklahoma City Thunder noong Abril 2. Magdedesisyon kung makakapaglaro siya sa Game 5 na gaganapin sa kanilang home court, kung saan maaaring pawiin ng Lakers ang Rockets at makaabante sa playoffs. Ang Dončić, na may injury sa hamstring, ay hindi inaasahang makakabalik sa seryeng ito ngunit maaaring makapaglaro sa mga susunod na yugto kung umabante pa ang Lakers. Hindi na nakalagpas ang Lakers sa first round simula noong makarating sila sa Western Conference finals noong 2023. Nagtala si Reaves ng career highs sa regular season, na may average na 23.3 puntos, 4.7 rebounds, at 5.5 assists sa 49/36/87.1 shooting splits. Siya ang ikalawang leading scorer ng koponan sa likod ni Dončić at malamang na nakuha sana ang kanyang unang All-Star nod kung hindi dahil sa injury. Nagpakitang-gilas ang mga manlalaro gaya nina Luke Kennard at Marcus Smart, ngunit ipinakita ng Game 4 ang hirap ng Lakers nang walang sapat na puwersa sa perimeter, kung saan nakapagtala lamang sila ng 5 mula sa 22 attempts sa three-point range at nagkaroon ng 24 turnovers sa 19-puntos na pagkatalo. Ang pagbabalik ni Reaves, kahit pa limitado ang oras ng paglalaro matapos ang mahabang pahinga, ay magbibigay ng tulong sa Lakers habang layunin nilang tapusin ang serye.
