Lakers' Austin Reaves day to day with bruised heel. Luka Doncic's ankle is OK

In a recent game, Lakers guard Austin Reaves suffered a bruised heel, believed to be a minor injury, while Luka Doncic, the NBA's leading scorer, was fine after rolling his ankle. Coach JJ Redick announced on Friday that Doncic is expected to play in the next game against Phoenix on Sunday, while Reaves is considered day-to-day.

The Lakers' impressive 7-game winning streak vaulted them to the top of the NBA standings with an 11-2 record. During the game against Milwaukee, Reaves injured his left heel while attempting a dunk in the third quarter and left the game. Instead of getting imaging exams, the team and Reaves decided to classify his injury as day-to-day.

Guard Collin Sexton is also marked as day-to-day after a confrontation with Milwaukee's Ryan Rollins, but a concussion has been ruled out. Doncic, the league's top scorer with an average of 38.6 points per game, is expected to be available for the next game, while Reaves, ranked 15th with 24.7 points per game, will be closely monitored.

Both players had significant injury issues last season, with Reaves playing in only 51 games and Doncic just 64, which qualified him for his second scoring title.
