Austin Reaves News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Grabs eight boards Reaves totaled 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With Anthony Davis (wrist), LeBron James (knee) and Malik Monk (groin) all sidelined Friday, Reaves attempted a career-high 12 field-goal attempts en route to his eighth double-digit scoring outing of the season. The 6-foot-5 rookie also grabbed a season-high eight rebounds during the loss. Reaves has garnered a sizable role off the bench, but his production hasn't been consistent enough to trust on a game-by-game basis. However, if the Lakers continue to deal with injuries to their stars, Reaves will likely be a primary beneficiary.

Posts career-best scoring total Reaves ended with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 loss to the Kings.

Impact Reaves was one of only three Lakers to finish with double-digit scoring in the contest, joining LeBron James (34 points) and Malik Monk (22 points). The rookie's point total was the highest of his career, and he reached the mark largely from beyond the arc, where he knocked down four of seven tries. Reaves has been inconsistent at times and doesn't produce much in terms of peripheral stats, but the fact that he has earned valuable minutes and has enjoyed some strong performances, speaks volumes considering the minimal role he was expected to fill coming into the season.
