Austin Reaves expressed his enthusiasm regarding the upcoming mini-camp for the Los Angeles Lakers in Slovenia. Beyond the basketball preparation, Reaves emphasized the importance of team bonding and establishing chemistry with his teammates as the new NBA season approaches. Speaking during a media event at the Rigorer 2026 basketball camp, Reaves highlighted the opportunity to connect with new members of the roster.
He noted that the current iteration of the team includes several unfamiliar faces, making the pre-season gathering crucial for building rapport. “It will be very fun, and above all, it will be nice to be back in the company of all the guys,” Reaves stated. “We have a fairly fresh team, a lot of new faces.
So it will be great to spend some time with them and get to know each other outside the court. Just to say, we’re going to have a lot of fun.”
While the focus remains on basketball readiness, Reaves also shared a lighthearted anecdote regarding an anticipated golf competition against teammate Luka Dončić. This exchange underscored the relaxed atmosphere surrounding the team’s preparation.
The mini-camp serves as a vital preparatory period for the entire Lakers organization. For Reaves, the primary goal is to solidify the chemistry within the team environment. Participating in this structured camp allows players to acclimate to routines and work together outside the high-pressure setting of regular season play, setting a positive tone for the upcoming competitive season.
