by 11 strokes. On Monday, Los Angeles Lakers guard shot a 76 at Willow Creek Golf Club in Knoxville, Tennessee. He finished +6 and came up short on qualifying for the Visit Knoxville Open, as he needed a 65 to make it into the tournament.a "B-" for his work in the qualifier, though it must be said, a 76 in his first attempt to qualify for a professional event is pretty impressive.
Reaves just finished his third season with the Lakers and posted solid numbers. The 25-year-old averaged career-highs in points , rebounds , assists and minutes per game. He shot 48.6% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range. An undrafted free agent in 2021, Reaves is a great story. Through hard work and development, he cracked the Lakers' starting lineup as a rookie and was a key part of their run to the Western Conference Finals in 2023. He signed a four-year, $53.8 million deal last offseason and has become an integral piece of the Lakers' future.
His attempt at a golf career was a fun story and there's absolutely nothing wrong with NBA players enjoying a hobby on their time off from basketball. That said, Reaves should probably focus on jump shots, not tee shots for the time being.
