Austin Reaves won't return to the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the visiting Houston Rockets on Thursday night due to left calf soreness.
Reaves, the team's second-leading scorer this season behind Luka Doncic, scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in 15 minutes during the first half.
Reaves missed a 3-point attempt at the first-half buzzer, then he did not come out of the locker room after intermission.
The Lakers trailed 63-53 at halftime and fell behind even further during the third quarter.
Prior to Thursday's tip, Reaves was averaging 27.3 points, 6.5 assists and 5.4 rebounds through 22 games (21 starts) in his fifth NBA season, all with Los Angeles. He missed three games earlier this month due to a calf strain and was in his second game back.
