Recent events have left the basketball community in shock due to the news regarding rumors about LA Lakers star Austin Reaves dating pop star Taylor Swift. Sources indicate that these rumors, which initially circulated in early June, may have been instigated by an LA Clippers employee.

Reportedly, Zain Fahimullah, a social media design associate working for the Clippers, learned about Taylor Swift’s breakup with singer Matty Healy trending on Twitter during his flight from New York to Los Angeles. It is alleged that Fahimullah, using a burner account under the name “RefrigratorL,” began spreading rumors about the stars.

In a media interview, Fahimullah addressed his use of the burner account and explained, “Since I’m working for the Clippers, I didn’t want to tweet it off my main, so I tweeted it off there.” While this may have appeared as an act of sabotage to many fans, Zain clarified that his intentions were lighthearted, and he believed that a rumor of this nature would be amusing to post.

ain elaborated on why he selected the emerging Lakers star for a post like this, stating, “Austin is the trending boy, like the Lakers’ darling of the summer. He just signed this [four-year, $54 million] deal and is headed to Team USA. Also, the stark contrast between Austin Reaves and Taylor Swift adds to the humor. Austin, coming from a small-town background, like a farmer, and Taylor Swift being this mega-superstar. So, I think that’s why I chose him.”

Reaves shared in an interview with FOX Sports, saying, “Someone in the team group message at the time sent it just with a bunch of laugh faces, I can’t remember who it was, though. I don’t even think I responded to it. I was like, ‘Y’all got it. Y’all got this one.'”

With fans shipping the pop star and Reaves, the entire situation for the Lakers star was more amusing than anything, as he didn’t take it seriously.

Austin, while expressing his side of the story, said, “I just started laughing, I was playing cards with my brother, my best friend and my girlfriend, actually. I said something [about it] and she looked at me and was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve seen that, “I was like, ‘Yeah, one night when you were asleep I just snuck away and went to a bar.’ She obviously laughed about it and said, ‘If it were at a golf course, I would’ve been a little more worried.’“
