Los Angeles Lakers: Austin Reaves’ Awesome Jersey Swap With MLB Legend Sparks Funny Reactions

LA, meanwhile, saw LeBron James go off with 40 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists. This performance occurred in a game that saw Anthony Davis exit the game early due to an eye contusion.

Later on, during the game’s final stretch, a series of replay reviews caused a delay of over 20 minutes. This period included the rescinding of James’ corner three-point shot, an act that could have won the game for the Purple and Gold.

This season, Reaves has raised his game by averaging 15.9 points on almost 50 percent shooting from the field, 38 percent from beyond the perimeter, and 85 percent from the free throw line. He’s also making 4.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists on a nightly basis for LA.
