Austin Reaves Remains Realistic After Lakers’ Hot Start

Austin Reaves emphasized that the Los Angeles Lakers still face an adjustment period despite their impressive 6-2 start to the season. Following a 138-117 victory over the Miami Heat, Reaves noted that with nine new players on the roster, the team must navigate growing pains and work on developing on-court chemistry rather than expecting immediate perfection.

In the win against Miami, Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 42 points and 13 assists, while Reaves scored 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Reaves praised Doncic's impact on opening up the floor for teammates, as Los Angeles totaled 39 assists on 51 made baskets.
