Reaves came into the evening with averages of 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 52.5% from the field and 44.8% from the three-point range in five games.

Via Jovan Buha of The Athletic: "Halftime: Lakers 76, Raptors 51

A near-perfect half for the Lakers was undermined by Austin Reaves exiting the game late in the second quarter with an apparent injury. AD has 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. LeBron has 18 pts. AR has 13. DLo has 11. LA is shooting 62.2%."
