Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves brought a unique moment to the court during last night’s game against the Indiana Pacers. In a creative gesture, Reaves used his choice of footwear—pink sneakers—as a gender reveal for his older brother Spencer and his wife Casey.
Reaves, who had known the gender of his brother’s baby, decided to share the news in a way that would be pretty memorable. By donning pink shoes, he revealed that Spencer and Casey are expecting a baby girl. The gesture was subtle yet impactful, with the broadcast team explaining the significance of Reaves’ footwear during the game.
“Take a look at Austin’s shoes. Now this is a gender reveal for Austin’s brother Spencer and wife Casey. You can tell they are pink. Austin is an uncle-to-be. This is how they were going to find out,” the announcers shared.

Spencer, who plays professional basketball overseas in Germany, expressed his gratitude on social media, writing, “Appreciate you!”
The gender reveal wasn’t the only highlight of the evening. Reaves delivered an impressive performance on the court, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds, and five assists while shooting 50% from the field. His contributions helped the Lakers secure a thrilling 120-119 victory, with LeBron James tipping in the game-winning shot as the clock expired.
