Austin Reaves is averaging 29.4 MPG and has played between 27-28 minutes in the last few games.
With Cam Reddish out, Darvin Ham said Austin will “get a boatload of minutes” vs. Charlotte. Added that Austin’s one of the guys they’re trying to see if they can get more minutes. pic.twitter.com/MHgJpJ3DMa – 10:31 PM
