The LA Lakers suffered a major scare after Austin Reaves took a blow to his right knee during the preseason game against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. The injury occurred when Warriors' Brandin Podziemski, who is on a $16,239,819 contract, collided with Reaves while driving toward the basket.

The Lakers guard grimaced with pain and hobbled up the floor as fans inside the Crypto.com Arena wore a concerning look on their faces. A timeout was called soon after and Reaves exited the game to take a seat on the bench. Luka Doncic seemingly gestured Reaves to call it a night when the Lakers guard rubbed his knee in order to ease the pain while seated on the bench.
