Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves describes his relationship with Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić as a close friendship. Reaves says Dončić is “one of his best friends” and that the two stay in touch through casual, frequent communication. According to Reaves, Dončić regularly sends him videos related to golf swings. The comments are made as the Lakers move into a new phase following the end of LeBron James’ era with the franchise. Both outlets report the same core points: Reaves highlights Dončić as a trusted friend and notes the recurring exchange of golf swing content as a way they communicate. The reports do not add additional details about when the friendship started, any specific golf-related events, or on-court interactions beyond Reaves’ description of their off-court connection. The focus remains on Reaves’ personal account of the relationship and the small routines that keep it active.
