In fact, LeBron James has played a crucial role in supporting Austin Reaves in his journey to becoming a true No. 2 star for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Unfortunately, for the Purple and Gold, for the first time in his NBA career, Reaves will enter the court with James by his side next season as the 41-year-old has announced his departure from the Lakers.
Austin Reaves says LeBron James ‘ruined’ his day by announcing LA Lakers departure
In an exclusive interview with The Post, Reaves shared what he was doing when James announced his plans to leave the Lakers.
