D’Angelo Russell signs two-year, $37M deal with LA Lakers

D’Angelo Russell signs two-year contract for $37 million deal with LA Lakers in NBA free agency.

The Los Angeles Lakers are bringing point guard D’Angelo Russell back to the team on a two-year deal worth $37 million, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Russell was a big trade deadline pickup for the Lakers and will return as one of the prominent guards in the rotation.

The deal includes a player option, so there’s a chance for Russell to get back into free agency next summer.



Russell played 54 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves last season before getting traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

His numbers were virtually the same between both teams, averaging 17.8 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game in 71 total games.

All of those marks are in line with his career averages.
