Lakers Win Seventh Straight, but Dončić and Reaves Both Leave Hurt

Los Angeles beat Milwaukee 123-112 to go 11-2, but Austin Reaves' left heel needs more imaging after negative X-rays.

The Lakers beat the Bucks 123-112 Wednesday for their seventh straight win, TheSportsDB's scores feed shows, and left Milwaukee worried about a heel and an ankle.

The win made it 11-2, the NBA's best start, Yahoo Sports reported, and Luka Dončić, who rolled his right ankle on Kyle Kuzma's foot during an and-one 3 in the fourth quarter, told reporters afterward he was "good."

Austin Reaves is the open question: he subbed himself out midway through the third, and in the fourth the Lakers declared him done for the night, citing his left heel. Coach JJ Redick said X-rays were negative and the team isn't worried about the Achilles, with more imaging set for Thursday, Yahoo Sports reported.

That makes the 11-point final the night's most misleading number. The Lakers led 114-90 with 4:23 left, per Yahoo Sports, and the Bucks' 22-9 finish came against a bench Redick had already emptied, the California Post reported. That run tells you who was on the floor late, and almost nothing about how the game went.

The Lakers get three days off before Sunday's game in Phoenix, and Thursday's scan on Reaves' heel decides whether that's a breather or the start of a recovery.
