Lakers Injury Update: Latest On Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Collin Sexton After Win vs. Bucks

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 123-112 tonight, but the win came with some concerning news. The Lakers’ star players Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves , along with veteran guard Collin Sexton , suffered injuries in the game. After the game, the Lakers’ head coach JJ Redick spoke to the media and gave a semi-reassuring update on all three players. “His X-rays were negative; we’ll get imaging done tomorrow. Probably no update besides that,” said Redick on Austin Reaves. “Luka, I think, is fine, just a light tweak. And obviously, Collin is getting sutures in his temple and whatever area he got hit. But no update on AR until we get more imaging done tomorrow,” he concluded . Even Luka Doncic spoke to the media and said he “should be fine” for their next game. Less than four minutes into the third quarter, Austin Reaves went up for a dunk attempt, seemed to injure his left heel, and ended his night early. He played 25 minutes tonight and finished with 18 points, five assists, three rebounds, and three steals while shooting 6-10 from the field (60.0% FG) and 1-3 from behind the three-point line (33.3% FG).   Austin first appeared to tweak something on this dunk attempt but stayed in the game coming out of the timeout: — Khobi Price (@khobi_price) November 12, 2026 According to Dr. Evan Jeffries, the best-case scenario for Reaves is a left heel contusion, while the worst-case scenario is plantar fascia injury (strain/tear). Then, midway through the fourth quarter, Collin Sexton and Ryan Rollins inadvertently butted heads on a play and went back to their respective locker rooms. Sexton finished with 10 points, three assists, one rebound, and one steal while shooting 4-8 from the field (50.0% FG).   A headbutt between Collin Sexton and Ryan Rollins sent both players to their respective locker rooms: — Khobi Price (@khobi_price) November 12, 2026 Meanwhile, late in the fourth quarter, Luka Doncic tweaked his right ankle after a foot-on-foot contact with Kyle Kuzma on a three-point shot attempt. He finished with 32 points, five rebounds, and five assists while shooting 10-25 from the field (40.0% FG) and 5-12 from behind the three-point line (41.7% 3P).   DIRTY MF @kylekuzma — Lakers Empire (@LakersEmpire) November 12, 2026 Luka Doncic and Collin Sexton should be good to go as the Lakers improve to 11-2 tonight and now move on to face the Suns after a three-day break on Sunday night, November 15. But it remains to be seen if Austin Reaves will be available to play in that game.
