Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves erupted for 43 points in a game against the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center on December 23, 2025, prompting a wave of reaction from Lakers fans directed at former champion Danny Green.
The performance came one day after Reaves had been questioned as the team's number two option behind LeBron James. Reaves, wearing number 15, delivered a dominant offensive showing that silenced critics and ignited social media debate about his role on the roster.
Fans took to online platforms calling out Green, a former Lakers title winner, with phrases like "Come to the Table Danny Green" following Reaves' standout night. The former NBA player had previously expressed doubts about Reaves' ability to serve as a reliable second scoring option.
