Mavs Dispute Lakers Austin Reaves MRI Claim

JJ Redick says the Mavericks scanned the wrong area after Austin Reaves suffered a Grade 2 left oblique injury, forcing Reaves to get a second MRI. Dallas pushed back on that claim. “Our medical team followed standard imaging protocols based on the information provided at the time,” the Mavericks said. “There was no error in the scan performed.” The disagreement puts more attention on Reaves’ injury and how long he’ll be out. More details could clear up what Dallas was told before the first MRI and why a second scan was needed.
