Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves will not play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns after suffering an injury in Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Reaves has a bruised left heel and is considered day-to-day, coach JJ Redick said. He is listed as out for Sunday's game on the NBA's injury report released Saturday, Nov. 14.

Reaves hurt the heel in an awkward landing after missing a transition dunk attempt in the third quarter against the Bucks. He had X-rays that were negative after the game, and he and the team's medical staff determined no further imaging was needed after seeing how he felt Thursday morning. The initial diagnosis had left open the possibility that he could play Sunday, but the team has chosen not to rush him back, and he did not practice Saturday so the bruise could gradually heal.S1S3

It will be only the second game Reaves has missed this season. He also sat out the Lakers' 124-114 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 9 due to illness. The Lakers gave Reaves and the team several days off between games to recover, but that was not enough time for him to be ready.S1

Rookie wing Cameron Carr was also ruled out against the Suns because of an illness. Collin Sexton (right orbital laceration), Adou Thiero (left ankle sprain) and Bronny James (illness) were listed as questionable. Sexton, who split open the skin over his right eye during a collision with Ryan Rollins against the Bucks, said after Saturday's practice that he felt pretty good and was able to take part in practice, though he would see how travel went before deciding more.S3
