This is an effort to expedite his return to play. Doncic has already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season, to be clear, but it's no surprise that he will do everything in his power to make a return as quick as he can in the playoffs.
Reaves not only will miss the rest of the regular season, but the injury will sidelined for around four to six weeks, meaning he's also expected to miss the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. This is a huge loss for the Lakers, as they also lost Luka Doncic (hamstring), meaning the burden on offense will go through Le Bron James. Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 51 regular-season contests, and his ability to return before the start of the playoffs will be key for the Lakers' chances to make a deep playoff run.
The veteran guard is sidelined for an eighth consecutive contest Thursday, and he has a short turnaround looming Friday versus the Suns. Luke Kennard and Jake La Ravia are both worthy of streaming consideration in all fantasy leagues in Smart's absence.
Hayes will miss a second consecutive game due to left foot soreness, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Suns. Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme should both operate in expanded roles for as long as Hayes is sidelined.
