Austin Reaves and Girlfriend Enjoy Labor Day Weekend on a Boat

WHY IT MATTERS

Austin Reaves' decision to take less money and his commitment to being a team player make him a valuable asset to the Los Angeles Lakers, and fans are expecting big things from him next season.

What happened

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves spent Labor Day weekend on a boat with his girlfriend, Jenna Barber, in Mexico. Reaves recently signed a four-year deal with the Lakers, reportedly agreeing to a $180 million contract after initially agreeing to $185 million. This move is seen as a team player gesture, giving the Lakers more financial flexibility. Reaves, an undrafted player, has turned himself into a solid NBA player, averaging 23 points per game last season. He is expected to take on more responsibilities and be a leader for his teammates. Reaves' performance and decision-making have been praised by his peers, with some considering him a true leader. The Lakers will be looking to him to help lead the team next season, especially with LeBron James not on the team for the first time in Reaves' NBA career. Reaves' pal, Luka Doncic, is still on the team, and the two have been spotted together at a Slovenian nightclub.
