The Lakers guard is headed toward a significant payday this summer.
Austin Reaves is expected to seek around $40 million per year in free agency this summer, forcing the Lakers into a major financial decision on their 27-year-old guard. Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds over 51 games (45 starts) in the 2025-26 regular season.
The Lakers will have to decide whether to match an offer sheet or let Reaves hit the open market as a restricted free agent. How the team approaches the contract shapes their roster flexibility heading into next season.
