Austin Reaves' $5M sacrifice could help Lakers land Warriors' NBA champion Jonathan Kuminga

Austin Reaves agreed to take a $5 million reduction on his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, accepting less than his maximum possible salary. This financial sacrifice is expected to create additional cap space that the Lakers could use to pursue Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, an NBA champion. The move signals the Lakers' intent to make Kuminga their top remaining offseason priority.
