Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell had nothing but praise for his teammate Austin Reaves, both on and off the court.
Following their second preseason game together, Russell commended Reaves for his high basketball IQ and described him as “just a pure guy.”
The camaraderie extends beyond basketball, with Russell mentioning their shared interest in golf, providing another avenue for their connection.
“High IQ basketball player, off the floor [Austin Reaves is] just a pure guy… He’s a golfer too, so it’s easy for us to kind of connect on that… Make sure y’all tune in to his TikTok. Shout out Hillbilly!” Russell said, via ClutchPoints.
