- Reaves has been dealing with an oblique/rib-related issue and underwent imaging in early April 2026, with his status for that weekend's game uncertain at the time [source: RotoWire, April 4, 2026].[1]
- In late April 2026, reports indicated he was nearing a return but was unavailable for several playoff games, with ongoing evaluation and an upgraded but ultimately questionable status before Game 3 of the first-round series; the Lakers were cautious about rushing him back [source: Yardbarker, April 25, 2026].[2]
- Prior to that, NBC Sports summarized that Reaves had missed games earlier in December 2025 due to a calf strain and was under re-evaluation plans for his return, signaling continued injury management through the season.[3]
