The gist
- Luka Doncic scored 32 points as the Lakers beat the Bucks 123-112 on Wednesday night.
- Sandro Mamukelashvili added 23 points and Austin Reaves chipped in 18, and the win gave LA its seventh straight.
- Austin Reaves suffered a heel injury during the game, while Doncic was described as 'good' after his own injury scare.
Why it matters
The Lakers have now won seven games in a row, and Luka Doncic is the main reason. Fans following the streak should also keep an eye on the injury updates for Reaves and Doncic.
Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 123-112 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The result stretched their winning streak to seven games, and Doncic finished with 32 points.
He got help from Sandro Mamukelashvili, who added 23 points, and Austin Reaves, who scored 18. The Bucks drafted Mamukelashvili in the second round in 2021, and he matched a season-high for points.
That season-high was the same total he reached on Monday at Atlanta. Reaves was back in action after missing that Monday game due to illness, and he was a key part of the win.
Injury scares in Milwaukee
The night was not all good news, though. Reaves suffered a heel injury during the game, and one report said his x-rays came back negative.
Another report said Reaves was slated for imaging after the injury. Doncic also had a scare after he was hurt on a foul by Kyle Kuzma, and he was described as 'good' afterward.
What happens next is not yet clear. The sources do not give the full imaging result for Reaves or any timeline for his return. They also do not say whether Doncic will have any lingering issues.
For now, the Lakers can celebrate a seven-game winning streak and a dominant night from their star. The bigger question is whether the team can keep winning if Reaves is sidelined. Do you think the Lakers can keep this streak going without Reaves?
Background
The Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games with this result. Mamukelashvili matched a season-high for points that he had set on Monday at Atlanta. Reaves had missed that Monday game due to illness before returning for this one.
