He played basketball for the Wichita State Shockers men's basketball team during college. In his first year, he suffered from an injury in his right shoulder, so he missed many matches.

As per the NCAA transfer rules, Austin was transferred to the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team after completing his senior year. After playing a number of matches for this team, Austin left the college and declared for the 2021 NBA draft.
Reaves' first NBA playoff game came on April 16, 2023, when he scored 23 points in a 128-112 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the First Round playoff series. He matched that performance in Game 4 of the same series, resulting in the Lakers scoring in a 117-111 overtime victory. His successful rookie season earned him nicknames like "Hillbilly Kobe" and "AR-15."
