Austin Reaves has double citizenship, he is American but also German, and at one moment he was close to joining the German national team because of that and his friendship with Dennis Schröder.
In a recent interview between the Yahoo Sports Senior NBA reporter Vince Goodwill and the Team USA player Austin Reaves, the SG said: "Yeah. My brother and I actually both dual citizenship, and I become real close with Dennis. We had a lot of talks about that, and when I got this call it was a call that just couldn't say no to. And I texted Dennis, explained it to him, too, and he congratulated me and everything. But yeah, it was definitely a possibility."
Reaves also told his incredible reaction when received the call to join the Team USA from his agent, and he couldn't believe it at first:
"Yeah, I was, to say the least, shocked. Honestly, I was golfing with one of my best friends and my agent called me and was like, you're not going to believe this. And I was like, all right, whatever. Throw it at me. And he was like, they want you to play for the USA team, and I didn't really have anything to say. Like, I was just like, are you messing with me? And he was like, no. So it was obviously an opportunity I couldn't pass on."
The Lakers SG Austin Reaves also recently said the re-signed with the purple and gold because wants to help put another championship flag in the rafters.
