Austin Reaves has become one of the favorites Lakers of Magic Johnson

The Los Angeles Lakers are in a battle to make it to the playoffs, which is a challenging task now that their superstar LeBron James is out for at least two to three weeks.

One of the players that have stepped up to help the team get the necessary wins to be one step closer on the play in the zone is Austin Reaves, who has proven to be talented and skilled, with a high IQ to play and is becoming a fan-favorite.

Now, he has also become a favorite of the showtime era legend Magic Johnson, one of the Lakers' finest and most recognized superstars of the historic franchise.

After the impressive win from the purple and gold to the Golden State Warriors, Magic made evident his love for Austin Reaves when he wrote on Twitter: “AD got some help from one of my favorite @Lakers Austin Reaves who ended the game with 16 points in the 113-105 victory against the Warriors.”

Magic Johnson was at the Arena on that game to see the win

The showtime era legend also happened to watch the game live in the Crypto.com Arena, and he loved what he saw from Anthony Davis: “I went to Crypto.com Arena and watched my @Lakers play this afternoon. Anthony Davis played one of his best games as a Laker! He was dominant and led the team with 39 points.”
