MILWAUKEE -- The Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games with a 123-112 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, but it came with a cost. Three of the Lakers' main rotation players -- Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic and Collin Sexton -- all had second-half injury scares.
Reaves' was the most severe, as he exited the game with a left heel injury and did not return.
After the Lakers guard landed awkwardly following a missed fast-break dunk with 8:21 to go in the third quarter, he came back into the game after a timeout. He later subbed himself out with 5:20 remaining in the third. He limped off the court and was accompanied by Lakers medical personnel to the back.
Lakers coach JJ Redick said X-rays taken on Reaves' heel at the arena came back negative and he would not know more about his status until Reaves undergoes further evaluation when the team returns to Los Angeles on Thursday, but he did rule out any concerns about Reaves' Achilles tendon.
"No update on AR until we'll have imaging tomorrow," Redick said.
Reaves had 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting, five assists and three steals in 25 minutes before he left the game.
He did not speak to reporters afterward.
"I think we just got to have next-man-up mentality," Doncic said. "Obviously, we lose a very, very good player. Hopefully it's not -- it's nothing. We got to have next-man-up mentality."
Doncic turned his right ankle with 4:25 remaining in the fourth quarter when attempting a long jump shot and being fouled by the Bucks' Kyle Kuzma with leg-to-leg contact but seemingly avoided serious injury.
"I'm good," said Doncic, who finished with 32 points. "Obviously painful a little bit, but I'll be fine."
Lakers backup guard Collin Sexton bumped heads with Milwaukee's Ryan Rollins, causing him to leave the game with 6:51 remaining in the fourth quarter. Sexton needed stitches above his right eye, Redick said.
The schedule will allow Los Angeles a little bit of time for its players to heal up. The Lakers don't play again until Sunday on the road against the Phoenix Suns.
