[Saba Sports News] Austin Reaves excels both on the basketball court and at the driving range. This week, the beloved Los Angeles Lakers player garnered attention for his remarkable trick shot at TopGolf in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Lakers are currently in Las Vegas for a preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets scheduled for Monday.
Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell shared a video of Reaves, who is typically right-handed, playfully using a left-handed club and effortlessly sending the golf ball to an impressive distance. You can view the clip Russell posted on his Instagram Story.
Considering Russell is a lefty, it seems Reaves might have borrowed Russell’s club just for fun. However, Reaves’ swing displayed impeccable form, fluidity, and power, making it challenging to discern any difference.
Reaves, who recently re-signed with the Lakers in the offseason on a new four-year, $56 million contract, showcased one of the most exceptional golf swings we’ve seen from an NBA player in a while. Nevertheless, he still has some ground to cover to match the TopGolf prowess of another notable athlete from Southern California.
