Mavericks Deny JJ Redick’s MRI Error Claim on Austin Reaves’ Injury

Posted : 08 April 2026

The Dallas Mavericks have firmly rejected allegations from Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick that their medical team initially scanned the wrong part of Austin Reaves’ body during an MRI. Redick had suggested the Mavericks’ staff made a mistake when imaging Reaves’ injury last weekend, saying a second scan was needed to identify a Grade 2 left oblique strain.

 However, the Mavericks issued a statement calling that assertion incorrect, saying their medical personnel “followed standard imaging protocols based on the information provided at the time” and that there was “no error in the scan performed.”

Reaves, Los Angeles’ second‑leading scorer this season, was ruled out for at least the remainder of the regular season after the diagnosis, with sources indicating a four‑to‑six‑week layoff. The dispute unfolded amid a tough stretch for the Lakers, who are also dealing with the season‑ending absence of Luka Dončić due to a hamstring strain and ongoing management of LeBron James’ foot injury.

Redick later downplayed the controversy, noting that the Lakers ultimately received the necessary images and expressing appreciation for the cooperation between teams when it comes to medical care.

The Mavericks’ rebuttal highlights the sensitivity around injury handling and communication between rival NBA organizations as both franchises navigate the final weeks of the regular season and prepare for potential playoff runs.
