Thu Feb 20 05:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Lakers’ Reaves Ejected in Loss to Hornets
**Los Angeles, CA** – Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves was ejected from Wednesday night’s game against the Charlotte Hornets after accumulating two technical fouls, marking the first ejection of his NBA career. Reaves, 26, had already contributed eight points, two rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and a steal in 27 minutes of play before his dismissal. The Lakers ultimately lost the game (the specific score is not provided in the source material).
With Reaves out, the team will likely rely more heavily on Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent in Thursday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Reaves is expected to be available for that matchup.
