The Los Angeles Lakers took the court in Indianapolis on Wednesday night to face the Pacers, looking to break a tough three-game losing streak.

But with just 11 games left in the NBA regular season—outside of some truly wild circumstances somehow playing out—the Lakers will, at the very minimum, make the league’s Play-In Tournament that determines the final two seeds for both the Eastern and Western Conference.

Although in an interesting sequence that took place before the game even began, viewers might have been brought one of the cooler NBA moments in recent memory, thanks to an incredibly creative gesture from Lakers star guard Austin Reaves.

“Austin Reaves did a gender reveal for his brother by wearing pink shoes in tonight’s game, this is how his brother is finding out also lol,” the post from a Lakers-devoted account on X read.

This is just next-level thinking by the 26-year-old Reaves in making a gender reveal moment come off as both ridiculously subtle for those not entirely in tune with his reasoning for wearing pink sneakers, while also creating what must have been an unforgettable moment for his brother and wife.

The game broadcast offered up all the fine details about the unique “plot twist” from Reaves:

“Take a look at Austin’s shoes,” the announcer said. “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 [Spencer and Casey] were going to find out.”

It was also stated on the broadcast that with Spencer Reaves playing professional basketball overseas in Germany, he may not have been immediately aware, especially when you factor in the time difference.

However, given that older brother Spencer seems to have been very much in on the inventive plan, he absolutely witnessed the special reveal:

“Appreciate you!” the elder Reaves brother posted to X. “We didn’t know Austin would be so pumped to do this. He’s known for weeks. Maybe he got Luka [Doncic] on board as well with his shoes tonight.”

With superstar Luka Doncic apparently also choosing to rock some pink kicks for the game, it’s been quite the exciting start for the soon-to-be parents of a baby girl.

Austin Reaves wasn’t doing too shabby for himself either, as the Lakers’ star guard was filling up the stat sheet early on against the Pacers.
