Austin Reaves Levels Up for Lakers | Los Angeles Lakers News

Austin Reaves is flying high—both on the court and in NBA 2K27, where his rating jumped to an all-time high of 88 after a breakout season fueled by clutch scoring, three-point shooting, and elite defense. Despite missing chunks of the year with injuries, his impact when healthy was undeniable, even earning him All-Star consideration before setbacks derailed momentum. Now locked into a max contract, Reaves must step up as a co-star alongside Luka Doncic if the Lakers hope to challenge for a title in the West. To build chemistry with his new teammates, he’s even excited about a Slovenia minicamp—where golf might be the only thing standing between them and a championship run.
