LOS ANGELES — The Lakers are reuniting with another former member of the team, this time agreeing to a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum with point guard Dennis Schroder, a person with knowledge of the deal not authorized to speak publicly told The Los Angeles Times.
Schroder, 28 turned down a lucrative contract extension with the Lakers during the 2020-21 season before leaving the organization the following summer in free agency. During that same time frame, of course, the Lakers traded for Russell Westbrook. After stops in Boston and Houston, he's now back with the Lakers.
"This past year didn't feel right," Schroder wrote in an Instagram post. "I felt misunderstood & nobody really knew the story! I'm coming back to the biggest organization to make (expletive) right!"
