AD looked old. He picked up the pace in the 4th, but still seemed overmatched. How, in a game where Phoenix plays both centers a healthy amount of minutes, do we only give Jaxson Hayes only 6? Time to accept Reaves as a bench player and end the hype. Phoenix exploited him.
“Time to accept Austin Reaves as a bench player”: Fans lambast Los Angeles Lakers after defeat against Phoenix Suns

NBA fans were unhappy with the Los Angeles Lakers' another poor performance, this time against the Phoenix Suns. The side went on to lose the contest with a score of 123-113 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix on Saturday.
That was their second defeat in the last three matches which left them on the ninth position in the Western Conference with just 31 wins and 28 defeats this season.
After the match, fans on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—expressed their anger at the performance of some of the players on the night.
One user went on to say that it is high time to accept that someone like Austin Reaves is a bench player and nothing else.
“AD looked old. He picked up the pace in the 4th, but still seemed overmatched. How, in a game where Phoenix plays both centers a healthy amount of minutes, do we only give Jaxson Hayes only 6? Time to accept Reaves as a bench player and end the hype. Phoenix exploited him,” the user wrote.
The statement did make some sense, especially considering how Reaves was a passenger on the night for the Lakers. The 25-year-old played 35 minutes for the losing team but ended up contributing just 14 points to go with four rebounds and four assists.
