The Los Angeles Lakers won't know the extent of Austin Reaves' injury, sustained in the third quarter of their 123-112 road win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, until further imaging is completed on Thursday.

Initial X-rays have already come back negative, though. 

Head coach JJ Redick did, however, provide a positive update on superstar Luka Doncic, who exited the game with 4:25 left in the fourth quarter after tweaking his ankle when he landed on Kyle Kuzma's foot while following through on a three-point attempt. 

Doncic made the triple and was tended to on the court before knocking down the foul shot and heading to the locker room. 

"I think [he's] fine," Redick said afterward. "Just a light tweak." 

ESPN's NBA Insider Shams Charania has since reported that Doncic woke up this morning with no pain in his ankle, a great sign for the Lakers in regard to Doncic potentially having to miss any time. 

The last thing the Lakers need right now is to lose both Doncic and Reaves, but especially the former, as Luka is in the process of having a career year. 

Doncic leads the league in scoring with 38.6 points per game. He led the Lakers (11-2) to their seventh straight win in Milwaukee with 32 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals. 

Luka shot 10-for-25 from the field and 5-for-12 from beyond the arc. He is shooting 48.9 percent from the field this season and 40.8 percent from deep. He converted 7 of 10 free-throw attempts against the Bucks. 

There are questions to be asked as to why Doncic was still on the floor when the Lakers were up 114-90 at the time of his injury. However, it looks like the Purple and Gold may get away with it this time. 

The Lakers are deeper than they were last year, meaning they are much better equipped to handle games without Doncic if needed. 

They've already proven as much, winning both of the games that Doncic has already sat out for rest purposes, with Reaves averaging north of 30 points in his absence. 

Losing both of them at the same time would be catastrophic. And, long-term, the Lakers don't really want to see what life without Luka is like either. They'll have to do a better job of keeping him out of harm's way in late-game blowout situations. 

Still, even with Reaves off the floor for over a quarter, the Lakers have the talent necessary to step up and make an impact. 

Reaves left the game with 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Walker Kessler added a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double. Sandro Mamukelashvili continued shining off the bench with 23 points (5-for-8 3PT). Collin Sexton chipped in 10.

The Lakers were also without Quentin Grimes (finger) in Milwaukee. Their next game is in Phoenix on Sunday, so they have some time to assess their group back home before making any decisions.
