Fan of Austin Reaves? Here’s your shot to meet the basketball shooter

MANILA, Philippines — Austin Reaves is giving Filipino fans an opportunity to meet him in Los Angeles through a contest by ArenaPlus where he is a product endorser.

The contest runs until December 21 with an all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles at stake. Details on how to join the contest is available at the brand’s official website, arenaplus.ph, with the participants also encouraged to use #MeetARinLA, #ArenaPlusPH, and #AstigSaSports to amplify the excitement.

No less than Reaves will announce the winner on December 23 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. on the brand’s official Instagram account, just in time for the Christmas holiday.

Reaves has endeared himself to Filipino fans after seeing him up close during the World Cup 2023 hosted by the country. He also came back to Manila just last August, and has grown into one of the most popular players in the world.

His background of being from a small town of Newark, Arkansas to basketball stardom has also attracted more fans from all over.

“It’s special,” Reaves said in an interview with The Athletic in 2023 about his fame all over the world. “Anytime you go anywhere and you’re appreciated — and obviously playing for the Lakers helps — it feels good. You want to go out there and just play the game the right way and give them a show.”

Through 22 games, Reaves has continued to become a vital presence for his team, averaging 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.1 steals for the Lakers in their chase for the crown.
