Returns to the court from both Anthony Davis and Lonnie Walker IV in the last week have returned the Lakers to nearly full strength as they ramp up their playoff chase. The “nearly” part is because of Austin Reaves, who still remains out with a hamstring strain.
Both Reaves and Walker were set to be re-evaluated at the same time. The latter’s return to the court in Saturday’s frustrating loss to the Celtics and the former’s absence revealed those results and the Lakers confirmed as much, noting that Reaves would be re-evaluated once more on Thursday.
