Latest News about Austin Reaves
Reports in late June said Reaves agreed to a four-year, $185 million contract to remain with the Lakers. The deal was described as the richest contract ever for an undrafted player in NBA history and included a player option for the final season.
Reaves returned to the Lakers lineup for Game 5 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets after missing nine games with the oblique strain. The team had listed him as a game-time decision, and his return came after he had been sidelined since early April.
Austin Reaves was ruled out for the rest of the 2025-26 NBA regular season after sustaining a Grade 2 left oblique muscle injury during the Lakers' loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on April 2. Reports said the injury was expected to sideline him for four to six weeks, which also put his availability for the final regular-season games in doubt.
