Lakers News: Darvin Ham Jumps In On The Taylor Swift, Austin Reaves Dating Jokes
Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has plenty to gush about for his promising young shooting guard Austin Reaves.
Rumors circulated the Team USA FIBA World Cup star about his possible dating life with pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Reaves shut these rumors down this offseason but that didn't stop his coach from stoking those flames in his most recent postgame presser.
Swift of course is making headlines through her relationship with NFL superstar Travis Kelce but Reaves was linked to the Grammy winner throughout the summer.
The former Sooner's rise to prominence sparked several rumors about his off-the-court prowess after becoming a star down the stretch for the Lakers in 2023.
After Lebron James tore a tendon in his foot it was Reaves who received much of the ball-handling duties late into last season for LA in their playoff push.
Thanks to his ability to get to the free throw line and creativity in the pick and roll, LA didn't skip a beat and made a significant playoff push.
Though the NFL is tailoring their coverage toward one of their best players and his new partner, Reaves is getting enough attention on his own for his play.
Thanks to one of the league's biggest media markets, a great skill set and a good playoff run, the Arkansas native is becoming a household name even though he's single.
Alongside Anthony Davis and James, Reaves is one of LA's best players and will hope to build on a terrific 2023 playoff run for another ring in 2024.
All eyes will be on LA's starting shooting guard as he hopes to exploit some blank spaces on opposing defenses all season long.
