The Lakers should consider themselves fortunate that Austin Reaves is the only guy who apparently didn’t forget how to make free throws. AK – 12:59 AM

Dave McMenamin: Austin Reaves has been ruled out of the rest of the game with right calf soreness, per the Lakers. -via Twitter @mcten / February 28, 2025
“LeBron was on him every day—about little things in the game, on offense, on defense—just staying on him, and he was having a hard time with it,” Handy explained. “But once we sat down and talked, I told him, ‘Look man, it’s because he sees potential in you. He believes in you. He’s going to push you to play well, to play smart, to be efficient.’ Once Austin saw it from that perspective, it changed his whole thought process. It allowed him to take constructive criticism from teammates and understand that if LeBron is on you, he sees something in you that can elevate your game.” -via ScoopB.com / February 26, 2025
