Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves was forced to leave his team’s Christmas Day game due to left calf soreness. Reaves played just under 15 minutes in the first half before being ruled out for the night.
Reaves returned on Tuesday from a three-game absence. He scored 12 points in the first half on Christmas against the Houston Rockets before exiting at halftime.
The Rockets pulled away in the second half for a comfortable road victory over the Lakers.
