Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is back in the lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets, the team announced pregame.
Reaves hasn't played since April 2, when he suffered a Grade 2 left oblique injury versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He'll return slightly ahead of the four-to-six week timeline reportedly given by the team.
Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals across a career-low 51 appearances during the regular season.
The Lakers have gone 17-14 with Reaves out of the lineup this season.
