The 10-day carousel is over for Stanley Johnson. The Los Angeles Lakers will sign the 25-year-old forward to a two-year deal Thursday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The second year of the deal is expected to be a team option so the Lakers can maintain flexibility for next year’s roster. Roster flexibility was the reason Johnson signed as many 10-day contracts as allowed before he got the last spot on the 15-man roster.
Johnson has become a staple in the rotation and even started and closed the game against the Brooklyn Nets, the first game he played alongside Anthony Davis.
