This is the first time Reaves has been upgraded since he suffered the left oblique strain on April 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It’s far from a guarantee that he will be on the court for Los Angeles on Friday; however, this shows that Reaves is progressing well and could be back on the court sooner rather than later.
Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic remains out due to a hamstring strain.
