Reaves set career highs with 23.3 points, 5.5 assists and 2.3 threes in 2025-26, but three separate soft-tissue injuries limited him to 51 games. The 2026-27 projections restore the availability with 73 games, lifting his totals to 1,585 points and 399 assists, while his per-game line settles at 21.7 points, 5.5 assists and 2.4 threes in 35.6 minutes. His field goal percentage is projected to slip from 49.0% to 47.2%, with his free throw shooting steady at 87.1%. With LeBron James gone, he is locked in as the Lakers' second option beside Luka Doncic, so health is the main variable.
