It’s WILD to me that even Laker Fans still under appreciate what our third best, Undrafted, Not a Point Guard, does on the court most nights. Wild.
Available vs. Memphis March 29, 2025 Reaves (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Yes he is. Another facet of Kobe AR comes by …. it seems honestly. He rolled that sucker like 70 degrees or more and I think they were saying it was the same ankle he hurt before. Damn! Not to mention the hard falls, all the charges he stands in for, wrestling with guys who outweigh him by 50lbs and seems like he gets hit hard in the face or head every game almost. I think I see his teeth out there when he smiles .. he must not even be wearing a mouthpiece. And let’s not forget the epic, “I’ll f*** you up!” a couple years ago to a guy who had muscles and probably 10-15 lbs on him.
Austin Reaves numbers: 20.1 ppg 4.5 rpg 5.9 apg 1.1 spg 46/36/88 splits (That's 36% on high volume from three with 7 attempts per game) Crazy that he’s now entered the 20/5/5 club conversations.
Great game from Austin. Figured he'd try to play and play well so close to home. I'm sure family and friends were there.
Maybe one of LeBron or Luka should come off the bench so we can get another good defender in the starting lineup?
