Lakers Injury Report: Sick LA Star Plans To Play For In-Season Tournament Final

Reaves will tough it out tonight

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Austin Reaves is sick, but he will be available for the in-season championship tonight against the Indian Pacers. 

NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic was the first to report on it. 

Reaves has played a significant part in the Lakers' success so far, especially in the tournament. 

In six games in the in-season tournament, Austin is averaging 15.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds prior to the championship game. 

The Lakers are 6-0 in the tournament, riding a good wave, but so are the Pacers, also boasting a 6-0 record themselves. 

Tonight's matchup will be a highly anticipated one. Luckily, LA will be healthy for the most part, and hopefully, Reaves can tough it out to give his best performance for the purple and gold. 

Let's get this win and be crowned the first-ever in-season tournament champions.
