‘Swing on me’ – Pistons fan tried initiating a heated confrontation with Lakers’ Austin Reaves

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves was confronted by an angry courtside fan during the team’s 121-116 road win over the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers have the best record in the NBA after going 10-2 to start the season, picking up their 10th win over a feisty Atlanta Hawks squad on November 9. However, their win over the Pistons on November 8 had a moment between Reaves and a fan that many had missed, but that has been made public now. Lakers fan gets into it with Austin Reaves during Pistons win A social media user interpreted a courtside confrontation between Reaves and a fan where the 28-year-old guard is trying to ignore a fan who is trying to instigate him into a fight. Fan: “Hey. You’re f—ing a–!” Austin Reaves: “What’s wrong with you?” Fan: “Swing on me.” Reaves put up 43 points in the win, but his most notable moment of the game might have been this confrontation with this fan. People might not have caught it when it initially happened since the fan was not getting aggressive. It’s been clear all season that the Lakers backcourt duo of Reaves and Luka Doncic make harsh words from angry fans into fuel for their performance. While Reaves had a calm and measured response in this instance, he did let his on-court performance do the talking for him. Reaves is averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds this season, proving to be an All-Star-level contributor for LA in their hot start to the season. This might be the first All-Star season in Reaves’ career after missing out last season due to early-season injuries. Getting into it with a fan and potentially endangering his chances for an All-Star berth would be foolish, and the 28-year-old walked away without escalating the situation.
