Sources: Lakers reach 2-year, $12M deal with Jake LaRavia
The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a two-year, $12.4 million contract with forward Jake LaRavia, according to ESPN sources. LaRavia, who spent his first two NBA seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, joins the Lakers after showing promise as a versatile wing with good defensive instincts and shooting potential. He was originally drafted 19th overall in 2022 out of Wake Forest. The Lakers see LaRavia as a valuable addition to their rotation, bringing depth and youthful energy to a roster that includes stars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis. This signing is part of the Lakers’ effort to bolster their wing depth and improve their defensive flexibility. The deal includes a team option for the second season, giving the Lakers roster flexibility moving forward. The Lakers hope LaRavia’s size, shooting touch, and defensive hustle will help them compete in the tough Western Conference and support their championship aspirations next season.
