Austin Reaves Injury Status For Lakers vs Clippers

The Los Angeles Lakers will take on their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, for the fourth and final time this season.

The Lakers will look to win the season series outright 3-1. They will play their 59th game of the season and continue their daunting March schedule.

The Lakers are in the thick of it now, but it will only get more difficult as they have four sets of back-to-backs they will play, most of them on the road.

This month will show us how true a contender the Lakers are, but only if they are healthy. Injuries have loomed for L.A., which could hurt them for tonight's matchup against the Clippers.

The Lakers will likely be without their star guard, Austin Reaves, for this matchup. Reaves is listed as doubtful due to a right calf issue. The good news is that he is listed as day-to-day, but tonight, they will likely be without the 26-year-old.
