Austin Reaves is enjoying his breakout season with the Los Angeles Lakers. And should the ascending shooting guard continue this form production, he will have a significant decision on his hands this offseason. Reaves has already made a lot of money in his career, but his net worth is set to skyrocket in 2026.
Austin Reaves’ Contract, Endorsements, and Earnings: How Much Does the Lakers Guard Make?
According to Spotrac, the fifth-year shooting guard has $41,970,955 in career earnings and is currently in the third year of the four-year, $53,827,872 extension he signed in the summer of 2023. Reaves has come a long way from the position he was in four years ago, when he was an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma.
With his on-court success, the Newark, Arkansas native has a multi-year signature shoe deal with the Chinese brand Rigorer, reportedly worth over seven figures annually, and holds an equity stake in the company.
Beyond footwear, Reaves has cultivated several diverse endorsement deals with companies such as the organic sports drink brand Recover 180, the golf apparel brand TravisMathew, and Lexus.
These deals, combined with his NBA earnings, have significantly contributed to a net worth estimated in the millions, even though that figure is likely undervalued at $4 million.
Reaves Has a Major Decision After This Season
While Reaves’ contract ends after the 2026-27 season, his current deal includes a player option next summer. There’s a strong chance the 27-year-old will subsequently reject that player option, given the season he’s had so far.
Through more than a quarter of the season, Reaves is averaging 27.8 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.6 rebounds for the Lakers through all his 21 starts and will likely make his first All-Star team.
There has ultimately been speculation over what the star shooting guard’s future holds, leading even insiders, such as famed sports agent Rich Paul, to share their opinions publicly.
Overall, the Lakers are one of the top contenders in the Western Conference, with plenty of threats around them vying for the Larry O’Brien Trophy. How Reaves, Luka Doncic, and LeBron James continue to gel over these next few months will ultimately determine this team’s ceiling.
Over the summer, however, if Reaves declines his player option, he will be eligible to sign a five-year, $241 million deal with the franchise that drafted him. Regardless, that $4 million net worth is set to receive a significant update soon.
