Stanley Johnson is heading back out west.
The 6-year NBA veteran and former Pac-12 Freshman of the Year at Arizona has been acquired by the South Bay Lakers, the G-League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers based in El Segundo, Calif.
Johnson, a native of nearby Orange County, will get to play for UA alum Miles Simon, the South Bay Lakers’ head coach.
Johnson had spent the last month floating around without a team after the Chicago Bulls waived the 6-foot-6 wing ahead of the 2021-2022 NBA season.
