LA Lakers

keep Reaves

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Austin Reaves is re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year contract worth $185 million, a person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is not yet official for Reaves, who cements his status as one of the most successful undrafted players in NBA history with this contract.

Reaves is declining his $14.9 million player option for the upcoming season to ink this extension with the team that signed him out of Oklahoma after the draft in 2021. The shifty guard has grown into one of the NBA’s most effective scorers and playmakers.

New NCAA rule

draws lawsuit

(AP) — Fifteen college basketball players filed a lawsuit in an Ohio state court claiming the NCAA’s new age-based model unfairly shuts them out of further competition.

The NCAA will now allow athletes five seasons of competition over a five-year period that begins with their full-time enrollment or the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. Athletes whose eligibility expired by spring 2026 under the traditional model will not be allowed a fifth year of competition. The lawsuit was filed in Cincinnati and seeks a ruling that would allow a fifth year of competition for those athletes.

Tuch traded

to Capitals

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Sabres dealt Alex Tuch to the Washington Capitals in a sign-and-trade deal that has the veteran forward getting his desired long-term contract, and Buffalo acquiring assets in return for a player the team anticipated losing in free agency.

The Capitals announced Buffalo signing Tuch to an eight-year, $84 million contract before sending him to Washington. This is Washington’s second big addition after acquiring Jordan Kyrou from St. Louis. Buffalo also sent defenseman Bo Byram to Chicago.
