Lakers Make Decision on Giving NBA Championship Rings to Former Players, per Report

After making some major roster adjustments at the trade deadline, the Lakers look like a threat to make a championship run in 2023. If they’re able to do so, the franchise is reportedly prepared to dole out rings to everyone who played a role in the season.

According to NBA insider Chris B. Haynes, Los Angeles would extend a championship ring to players such as Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and others who were traded, should they end up winning the championship. 

“If the Lakers were able to win the whole thing, win a championship, I was told by a high-ranking source within the organization that they would extend a championship ring to all players who were on the roster at any point during the regular season,” said Haynes.
