Injuries nearly swallowed the Lakers whole Monday night, leaving them short on ballhandlers, key role players and star power.

Both of LA's All-Stars, power forward LeBron James (sciatica) and guard Luka Doncic, will be out for the next week — with James likely out through mid-November.

Austin Reaves averaged a career-best 20.2 points per game last season, and he ramped it up to 22.8 points per game from February 1 through the end of the regular season. In three games played with Luka and without LeBron, he posted totals of 28, 30, and 22.
