The 25-year-old guard stepped up in the postseason as the team’s third-leading playoff scorer, averaging 16.9 points (61.6% true shooting), 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 36.2 minutes (16 games, all starts) during the Lakers’ run to the conference finals.

Reaves is coming off a breakout season in which he averaged 13 points (68.7% true shooting – a formula that incorporates free throws and higher-value 3-point shots), 3.4 assists and 3 rebounds in 28.8 minutes (64 games with 22 starts). Most free agents who agreed to deals since last week weren’t able to sign their new contracts until Thursday at 9:01 a.m. Hayes and Reddish agreed on two-year contracts with player options for the 2024-25 season, sources said, giving them the option to become free agents again next offseason.
Vincent agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract while Prince came to an agreement on a one-year, $4.5 million deal. Hachimura came to an agreement to return on a three-year contract worth $51 million after free agency started last week. The team didn’t disclose the terms of the deals, but sources confirmed to the Southern California News Group that Reaves agreed to return on a four-year, $56 million Early Bird maximum contract. As expected, the Lakers made most of their free agency moves official on Thursday, announcing the re-signing of guard Austin Reaves and forward Rui Hachimura and the signings of guard Gabe Vincent, forwards Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish and center Jaxson Hayes.
