The Lakers have decided to keep center Robert Sacre, guaranteeing his $981,348 salary for the coming season.
Sacre, a 26-year old seven-footer, played 67 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 9.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.
Earning the league minimum for a player with three years of experience, Sacre becomes the fifth Lakers player with guaranteed salary.
In addition to Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, Julius Randle and Ryan Kelly, the Lakers also plan on adding rookies D'Angelo Russell (second overall pick in 2015) and Larry Nance Jr. (27th selection). Anthony Brown, taken in the second round with the 34th pick, is also expected to make the team.
