The Lakers play the Blazers tonight. Well, kind of. Half the Lakers are going to be playing the Blazers tonight. Here’s my @joinoffside preview:

Extensive injury report for the Lakers on this 2nd night of a B2B vs. Portland; Austin Reaves is the only available player amidst LA’s top 5 offensive creators.

Quite the list for the Lakers... Luka, Jaxson Hayes, LeBron, Maxi Kleber, Marcus Smart, Adou Thiero and Gabe Vincent are all OUT tonight

Yeeeeeeesh

Seven Lakers out tonight against Portland:

After 51-11-9 Sunday, Austin Reaves wondered ‘Why me?’ when he saw his name next to the all-time greats. So what makes him special? “If we would’ve lost… it’s not as much of an accomplishment. And a lot of people will say that, but I don’t think a lot of people mean that.”

"[The Lakers] believe that giving him some time right now should be enough to address it, and we're talking about Luka back in the lineup next week." @mcten gives an injury update on Lakers star Luka Doncic 🏀

Kobe on Jan. 3, 1997: 21 PTS 2 STL 2 BLK 0 TOs The last 18-year-old with 20 PTS and 0 TOs before Cooper Flagg last night!

In the three games the Lakers haven't had Luka Dončić and LeBron James BUT had Austin Reaves, they're 2-1 and Reaves is averaging 44.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists with only 9 total turnovers

Austin Reaves went OFF tonight 🤯 51 POINTS (career-high) 11 REBOUNDS 9 ASSISTS 6 TRIPLES W He is the FIFTH @Lakers player this century to score 50+ POINTS in a game ‼️

Final Stats 📊 AR: 51 pts, 11 reb, 9 ast DA: 22 pts, 15 reb Rui: 18 pts

Austin Reaves' incredible career-high 51 points will overshadow most of what happened in tonight's game, but Deandre Ayton was pretty damn good: 22 pts (10-17 FG), 15 rebs, 2 asts, blk & stl

My instant recap of tonight's win and Austin Reaves' incredible performance, recorded on my commute to work. (for @joinoffside)

Reaves said he was texting with Luka Dončić this morning - typical trash talk, which is their dynamic - and Luka told him he needed 60 tonight. Reaves ended up with 51, but it’s enough to “hold over his head,” especially since Dončić got stuck on 49 last game.

Austin Reaves on becoming the 5th Laker this century to total 50+ POINTS in a game: "... I ain't got no words."
