LOS ANGELES—When the Los Angeles Lakers reached the final minutes of a tight game they desperately needed to win, the player with the ball in his hands on every possession Sunday night wasn’t one of their superstars, but an undrafted second-year reserve guard who has made a career out of surpassing expectations.111-105 win over the Orlando Magic
“It’s special,” Reaves said. “I grew up a Lakers fan, so to do it for this organization especially is surreal. Sometimes I’ve got to stop and really think about what I am doing. Obviously, I think all the odds were stacked against me from where I’m from.” “He carried us tonight with his play,” Anthony Davis said after Reaves added six rebounds and six assists while hitting nine of his 14 shots against Orlando. “He got whatever he wanted, pick-and-rolls, 3s, got to the line 18 times. We know what we have in Austin. We’re very confident in him.”
Reaves said he has studied how James Harden and Trae Young draw fouls and attempted to incorporate their strategies into his game. Between his penchant for getting fouled and his physical approach on defense, Reaves regularly ends up moderately bloodied or bruised after games. Reaves jokes about his limited athletic ability, yet he would be the most athletic person in almost any room in the world—except the room where he spends most of his life.
