Lakers guard Austin Reaves is going to be a wealthy man this offseason, that’s for sure.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Thursday that Reaves has agreed to a shoe deal with Chinese company Rigorer. He’ll get his own signature sneaker as part of this partnership.
Reaves’ deal with Rigorer is expected to reach over seven figures.
“Honestly, I’m blessed,” Reaves said about the deal. “If you told me earlier I’d have a signature shoe at 18, I’d look at you and call you a liar.”

Reaves is set to be a restricted free agent this summer.
Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported last month that Los Angeles will match any offer sheet Reaves receives up to $100 million. Clearly, the front office wants to keep him around.
Reaves showed a ton of growth this past season, averaging 13.0 points, 3.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game for the Lakers.
