Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Joining Lakers on two-year deal
Rotowire
LaRavia (thumb) agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
LaRavia has made only six starts in his three-year career in The Association, but he can be a solid contributor off the bench for the right team. He averaged 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks across 66 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 while playing for the Grizzlies and Kings. LaRavia missed the final 10 games of the 2024-25 regular season due to a thumb fracture, though there's no timeline regarding whether he'll be ready for training camp in the fall.
LaRavia (thumb) won't play in Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Mavericks.
LaRavia will miss his 11th straight contest Wednesday due to a left thumb fracture. The Kings will have to advance past the Mavericks in the Play-In Tournament in order for LaRavia to have another chance at suiting up this season.
