Over the last few games the Los Angeles Lakers have gotten outstanding performances from guard Austin Reaves. While he has always been consistent, Reaves has been at an even higher level than normal over the past week despite absences from Anthony Davis and LeBron James in separate contests.

The Lakers put their faith in Austin Reaves when they traded D'Angelo Russell, trusting the young shooter to help LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Anthony Davis was asked about Austin Reaves' first game since the Lakers traded D'Angelo Russell, and he kept it short and simple.
