Luka Doncic hilariously calls out Lakers teammate Austin Reaves for antics off court

Luka Dončić called out Los Angeles Lakers teammate Austin Reaves with jokes during an interview that blended golf banter and basketball teasing. Asked by Rich Lerner of the Golf Channel whether Reaves offers him golfing advice, Dončić declined and joked that Reaves is “afraid” Dončić will become better. The forward, who joined the Lakers in February 2025 after a trade, said his relationship with Reaves involves constantly trolling each other. Dončić also confirmed that he and LeBron James have helped him with golf in the past, describing the sport as relaxing and addictive. He added that Reaves is a “plus-two” player and suggested he trash-talks Reaves “a little bit less” but still does. Off the court, the article notes expectations rising for Reaves after a $185 million contract extension for four years.
