Mavericks Clear Air on Austin Reaves Injury Treatment

Coach JJ Redick claimed the Mavericks scanned the wrong area of Reaves' body during an MRI, leading to a delay in diagnosis. However, the Mavericks medical staff released a statement maintaining they followed standard protocols based on the information provided.

Reaves was later diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, sidelining him for four to six weeks. The Mavericks clarified that no scan error occurred, clearing the air on the controversy as the Lakers await their star guard's return.
