The Los Angeles Lakers are in crunch time. They’re 34-21, the 5th seed in the Western Conference, and need every bit of talent to climb the ladder.
But did a fight between two of the team’s most notable players disrupt the locker room? Some fans seem to think so.
Did Bronny James and Austin Reaves get into a fight?
No, it is not confirmed by legitimate sources that Bronny James and Austin Reaves got into a fight.
A post on ‘X’ from @JakeMorrisonNBA alleged the two had a “physical altercation,” which led some fans to panic.
Bro is this real or just another clickbait? 😭 Austin and Bronny are usually super chill, they’re always hitting alley-oops together. If they actually fought, it’s probably over fighting for rotation minutes 😂 Drop the details please don’t ghost us

The account that posted the rumor has a verification checkmark on the platform, which can lead some to assume the post is true.
But his bio is listed as: “1x | Non-affiliated with @raptors | Scottie Barnes Stan satire account.”
There are no reliable sources reporting this information so it’s unlikely to be true.

If Reaves and Bronny did get into a fight, the Lakers would do everything they could to keep it under wraps.
If the rumor was true, every respectable sports media outlet would be reporting on it.
It’s safe to say that all is well inside the Los Angeles locker room.
