EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is considered day-to-day as he deals with a left heel bruise, coach JJ Redick said after practice Friday.
Reaves left L.A.'s 123-112 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday midway through the third quarter and did not return after landing awkwardly on his left foot after missing a contested fast-break dunk.
Reaves underwent X-rays at the arena Wednesday that came back clean. After seeing how Reaves was feeling Thursday morning once the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, the team determined that further medical imaging on the shooting guard's foot would not be necessary.
When Redick was asked if Reaves had suffered only a "minor" injury, considering the Lakers decided to forgo an MRI, the coach replied: "I would assume a day-to-day injury is minor, yeah."
Redick provided injury updates on three other Lakers players as well.
Luka Doncic, who turned his right ankle late in the win over the Bucks, "is fine," according to Redick.
"I think the expectation would be he's available," Redick said, referring to L.A.'s next game against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
Redick said backup guard Collin Sexton, who required stitches above his right eye after he and Bucks guard Ryan Rollins unintentionally head-butted one another Wednesday, was cleared of any concussion symptoms but is also considered day-to-day.
Guard Quentin Grimes, who sprained the right pinkie on his shooting hand and missed the Lakers' past two games, participated in the live portion of practice Friday, Redick said.
Grimes said he jammed the finger in the Pistons game and taped it up for practice.
"The swelling has gone down a lot," Grimes said. "It's kind of feeling basically back to normal."
The Lakers, at 11-2, own the No. 1 record in the NBA. Redick used the three-day break in the schedule to "audit" the team. He said he had his analytics department prepare a 21-page presentation he used, along with a film session, to discuss L.A.'s defensive and offensive identities before practice Friday.
"It was good," forward Ziaire Williams said of the meeting. "A lot of good things and a lot of things to clean up. Being first in the West, with the stuff that they showed us, you would think we were almost last, you know? But yeah, for sure, got to keep us honest."
