Austin Reaves becomes the first Laker to join Kobe, LeBron and AD in the last 20 years to score 45+ points.
Perhaps Luka Doncic will be next. – 6:53 PM

Austin Reaves scores on a layup high off the glass to give him 41 points. A new career high and the second straight Laker to have 40 in a game after LeBron James’ 42 against GSW on Thursday. – 6:40 PM

Austin Reaves, doing everything today, just took a charge on Siakim to stop a fast break off LA’s turnover.
The Pacers challenged the call, however, and won it with Reaves having a foot on the restricted circle. Pacers ball out of bounds, down 113-100 with 4:51 left. – 6:34 PM

Pacers are getting cooked at the rim. Seems like the Lakers are able to get to the basket and score whenever they want.
And Austin Reaves has gone off – a career-high 39pts and still 8mins left.
Pacers got to within 4pts in the 3Q, but have mostly trailed by double digits. – 6:24 PM

The new career-high of 39 points for Austin Reaves comes off a transition dunk, after he picked off a Pacer pass and sprinted ahead of the pack.
He’s 12 of 20 from the field, 4 of 6 from 3 and 11 of 11 at the FT line. – 6:22 PM

JJ Redick said Austin Reaves (elbow) will give it a go in warm ups to see if he’s able to play tonight.
Redick acknowledged that in an ideal world, LA would have LeBron, Doncic and Williams (trade still pending) available for Monday’s game. – 2:25 PM

More on this storyline
Mike Trudell: LeBron called Austin Reaves last night, letting him know he’d be out today, as JJ Redick relayed. Redick then told Reaves pregame that he’d probably need something like 38-8-8 for LA to win. Reaves responded with 45-7-7, plus 3 steals. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / February 8, 2025
Mike Trudell: Austin Reaves has been upgraded to available, and Mark Williams downgraded to out. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / February 8, 2025
Dan Woike: Luka Doncic officially will not play for the Lakers Saturday against Indiana. Mark Williams is “questionable” along with LeBron James (ankle) and Austin Reaves (elbow). Reaves’ elbow was fairly swollen postgame Thursday. -via x.com / February 7, 2025
