Reaves signed a two-way deal with the Lakers as an undrafted free agent in 2021. The team signed him to a two-year deal in September, then fully guaranteed his contract in January.

The Cedar Ridge alum has impressed in his time playing with the purple and gold. He hit a game-winner on primetime in December against Dallas. In his last game against Utah, he hit a three-pointer to seal the win for LA.
