The Los Angeles Lakers have been very shorthanded 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, while guard Lonnie Walker IV made his return on Saturday after being sidelined since late December with knee tendonitis.
Another member of the Lakers who has been out for a while is Austin Reaves, who has been dealing with a hamstring ailment and hasn’t played since the first week of January.
He will miss at least three more games and is scheduled to be reevaluated this coming 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 especially coming after a very controversial loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday that was likely robbed from them by the referees, the Lakers will need every bit of good health they can get moving forward.
