The Los Angeles Lakers have been short-handed over the past several weeks, but they’re finally starting to get healthy.
Anthony Davis returned on Wednesday after being out for over five weeks because of a stress injury in his right foot. Guard Lonnie Walker IV returned on Saturday after being sidelined since late December with knee tendinitis.
Another member of the Lakers who has been out for a while is Austin Reaves, who hasn’t played since the first week of January because of a hamstring issue.
He will miss at least three more games and is scheduled to be reevaluated on Thursday.
Austin Reaves is going to miss at least three more games with his hamstring injury, due for a Feb. 2 reevaluation. We saw him doing some sprints at shootaround in Boston today.

With a 23-27 record and coming after a controversial loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday, a game that was likely robbed from them by the referees, the Lakers will need every bit of good health they can get moving forward.
