The Los Angeles Lakers have upgraded guard Austin Reaves to questionable for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets. Reaves has been out since April 2nd due to a strained left oblique. The original timeline for Reaves to return was between four and six weeks. This return would come at approximately three-and-half weeks.

The Lakers have gone up 3-0 over the Rockets, despite the absences of Reaves and Luka Doncic. While Reaves could play in Sunday's Game 4, Doncic has only recently begun light on-court work. The expectation is that Doncic could return for a second-round series.
