The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed a one-year, £2.58 million ($3.3 million) deal with veteran forward Matisse Thybulle, securing the two-time All-Defensive selection after talks with unrestricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga stalled and Portland offered the Australian only non‑guaranteed terms.
The agreement, confirmed by league sources, bolsters Los Angeles' perimeter defence as the front office pivots away from its pursuit of Kuminga and reshapes its plans on the wing.
