Austin Reaves Enters 2026-27 Off a Career-Best Season, Fully Healthy
newsroom · 3 h agoAustin Reaves is back with the Lakers for 2026-27, wearing No. 15 as a fifth-year guard. He is not on the injury report. Last season he posted career highs across the board in 51 games, and the opener is coming.
Where Reaves Stands Now
Austin Reaves is entering his fifth NBA season with the Lakers, still wearing No. 15. He is listed at guard, 6-5 and 197 pounds, and turns 28 this season. Reaves came out of Oklahoma and has grown into one of the more productive guards on the roster. Right now he is not on the injury report, so he heads into 2026-27 with a clean bill of health. The season has not started yet, and the opener is coming. Until games tip off, the picture on Reaves is built from last season's numbers, his health status, and his standing on the roster. There is no current-season record or box score data yet, so his 2025-26 production is the clearest guide to what he brings into this year.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Reaves played 51 games for the Lakers and averaged 34.5 minutes a night. He put up 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, with 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks. His turnovers sat at 3.0 per game. Those are career-level counting stats across the board for a guard who has taken on more offensive responsibility. The 5.5 assists per game show he was doing real playmaking work, not just scoring. Combined with the scoring and minutes load, last season's stat line points to Reaves as a full-time, high-usage piece of the Lakers backcourt heading into 2026-27.
Shooting And Efficiency
Reaves shot 49.0 percent from the field last season, 36.0 percent from three, and 87.1 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage was 64.1, and his usage rate was 25.8 percent. Put together, that is a guard who scored efficiently despite carrying a heavy share of the offense. The free-throw number, 87.1 percent, stands out as elite touch from the line. His plus-minus was 3.6, meaning the Lakers outscored opponents while he was on the floor last season. None of these numbers are official for 2026-27 yet since the season has not begun, but they are the most recent full-season form Reaves brings into training camp and the opener.
Health Report
Austin Reaves is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history listed for him at this point in the offseason. That means the Lakers should have him available and ready as the 2026-27 season approaches. For a guard who played 34.5 minutes a night and shouldered a 25.8 usage rate last season, staying off the injury report matters for how the Lakers plan to use him from the jump. There is no additional health information to report beyond his current clean status heading into the new season.
What To Watch Ahead Of The Opener
The 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no current record, recent-game results or trade rumors to report on Reaves yet. The opener is coming, and the clearest signal for what to expect is his 2025-26 season: 51 games played, 23.3 points, 5.5 assists and a 64.1 true shooting percentage while healthy and productive. There are no rumors involving Reaves at this time and no reported departures affecting his role directly. Once games begin, the numbers above from last season will be the baseline fans and the front office use to judge whether Reaves is building on his career year or taking another step forward.
