Lakers' Austin Reaves: Will remain out Saturday

Reaves (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

There was optimism that Reaves would be able to return from a month-long absence Saturday, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for at least one more contest due to a left hamstring strain. Head coach Darvin Ham said Thursday that the second-year pro is in the final stage of his recovery process, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Reaves without an injury designation for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder.
