Lakers Notes: Luka Doncic Will Miss Time, Gabe Vincent Suffers Injury, Austin Reaves’ 51-Point Outburst

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings 127-120 on Sunday on the back of Austin Reaves' career night.
He scored 51 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out nine assists, delivering a complete performance and his best game in a Lakers jersey yet.
Unfortunately, he had to play that well since Luka Doncic was ruled out for at least a week with a finger and lower body injury. He will be re-evaluated in a week's time to see if he's ready to get back on the court.
Additionally, Gabe Vincent left Sunday's game due to a left ankle sprain, meaning LA has lost another key guard in the rotation.
