The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t produced the best performances since lifting the In-Season cup. LeBron James has struggled to steer the ship despite the team showing regular flashes of brilliance.

With the season halfway through, the team’s head coach, Darvin Ham, has been put under heavy scrutiny. And now even his own team seemingly feels the presence could be a hindrance. That’s what Austin Reaves‘ body language showed as well.

In their recent loss against the Dallas Mavericks, tensions were high. During the 3rd quarter break, when Darvin Ham approached Austin Reaves to interact, the player blanked him and went straight into the tunnel.
