Reaves brother, Spencer Reaves, called attention to the online theory by laughing off a tweet that claimed, “Following her breakup, Taylor Swift was reportedly seen in an Arkansas Bar this weekend with star Laker basketball player Austin Reaves.”‘
He also responded to another tweet seemingly about the rumor, writing, “People believe everything huh.”
Reaves was last linked romantically to Jenna Barber, who went to the same high school as him.
The 25-year-old scored 23 points in his first career playoff game, which helped his team upset the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the Western Conference series. He continued his good play until the team played the Denver Nuggets as they could not get a single victory on their way to being swept.
After an impressive regular season and postseason run, Lakers guard Austin Reaves has garnered a ton of interest around the league. The Lakers certainly want to keep Reaves around for the long haul, especially after the way he has grown as a player.
All reports signal that the Lakers intend to match any deal that comes their way to keep him aboard.
