The Dallas Mavericks said they committed “no error” in response to Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick’s claim that the Mavericks scanned the “wrong area” of guard Austin Reaves’ body.
“I don’t know where the chain of command lies with Dallas imaging, but uh, they scanned the wrong area,” Redick said Saturday. “Not on our end. We made it explicit what was supposed to be scanned, but they scanned the wrong area.”
“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.”
Reaves’ injury occurred in the first half of the Lakers’ loss to the Thunder last week. Reaves was visibly playing through discomfort before he exited that game for good in the third quarter. He is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks, The Athletic’s Dan Woike reported.
