Injuries to Luka Doncic and LeBron James have allowed Austin Reaves to take the full reins of the Los Angeles Lakers while both superstars work towards a return to the lineup. When all three players are healthy and available, the NBA should be terrified.
Reaves has looked every bit of an undeniable star while Doncic and James have been out. His production leading the Lakers offense has put him in the company of franchise greats that not many outside of Los Angeles would have thought possible.
The talented offensive guard is easily on pace for a career high in points and assists per game during the 2025-26 season.
