JJ Redick wants to move on after Mavs contradict his contention of MRI mistake
on Austin Reaves
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick says he just wants to
move on after the Dallas Mavericks contradicted his contention that their
medical staff incorrectly conducted an MRI on Austin Reaves last weekend.
Reaves is out for the rest of the regular season after straining his oblique
during the Lakers' blowout loss at Oklahoma City last Thursday. He was examined
in Dallas, where the Lakers had subsequently traveled for their next game, by
the Mavericks' medical team in a courtesy typically extended by home NBA teams
to their visitors.
At the Lakers' practice in Dallas on Saturday, Redick claimed the Mavs' medical
team "scanned the wrong area" and had to do two MRIs to identify Reaves' Grade
2 left oblique strain.
The Mavericks issued a statement to DLLS Sports on Tuesday saying their
"medical team followed standard imaging protocols based on the information
provided at the time. There was no error in the scan performed."
When Redick was asked why he claimed otherwise before the Lakers hosted the
Thunder on Tuesday, he was brief.
"Look, I think in the end, we got the image we needed," Redick said. "Obviously
very appreciative, because it's happened throughout the season, whenever the
home team is accommodating to us, just like we would be for them. And we're
going to move on."
The Lakers also lost Luka Doncic for the rest of the regular season during that
loss in Oklahoma City. The NBA's top scorer has a Grade 2 strain of his left
hamstring.
