Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves made headlines for something far more meaningful than basketball stats. Reaves recently participated in a wheelchair basketball game at the 11th annual Angel City Games in Torrance, California, showing his support for adaptive sports and the broader Paralympic community.
Reaves joined the Celebrity Wheelchair Basketball Game, a highlight of the Angel City Games, the largest Paralympic-style adaptive sports event on the West Coast.
Reaves could be seen navigating the court in a wheelchair, passing the ball, and even sinking a shot, all with a smile on his face. By participating, Reaves helped shine a spotlight on athletes with physical and visual disabilities and the importance of inclusive sports programming.

The Angel City Games, founded in 2015, offer competitive and recreational opportunities across more than a dozen adaptive sports. Over the years, the event has drawn celebrities, athletes, and entertainers alike; names like Adam Sandler, Christian Bale, and now Reaves, who lend their time and visibility to elevate the cause.
