His impressive performances last season led to him signing a four-year $56 million deal to stay with the Lakers. Fans are eager to see more of Reaves on the court, showcasing his talents.

As a key player for the Lakers, it’s essential to ensure he is in good shape for the forthcoming season. Coach Darvin Ham’s decision demonstrates his commitment to preserving the health and fitness of his players.
