The 2022-23 campaign has been the coming out party for Austin Reaves, with the youngster continuing to shine on the big stage.
He has had some big moments in the playoffs as well and had what could be the biggest one yet, as he drilled an insane buzzer-beater from halfcourt in Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors.

This basket capped off a great first half for Reaves as he had 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. He has played his part in his team being up 56-46 and will be keen to have a strong second half to wrap up this series.
The way this game started, it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers were going to blow out the Warriors as they were up 27-10 at one point, but the defending champs responded and got it close. This play could be the one that breaks their back, however, and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond.
Rob Pelinka Stated There Is A Mutual Desire To Get An Extension Done Between The Lakers And Austin Reaves
Reaves has become a fan favorite in his two seasons with the Lakers and has received MVP chants from them a few times already. He will be a free agent in the summer though and fans are desperate for the team to re-sign him. GM Rob Pelinka recently stated that there is a mutual desire between the two parties to get an extension done.
With how well he has played, Reaves is sure to have a lot of suitors, so it isn’t set in stone by any means that he’ll be back. He had made it clear he wants to make as much money as possible and if a team offers him a big deal, he might just pack his bags and leave.
