Report: Lakers sign guard Malik Monk in free agency

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to add more depth to the roster during the 2021 free agency period.

So far, the Lakers have added Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, Trevor Ariza and Kent Bazemore on minimum deals and more players are coming.

The Lakers had only LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Marc Gasol and Alfonzo McKinnie under contract prior to the flurry of signings.

Now, Los Angeles is adding guard Malik Monk to the rotation.

The Charlotte Hornets drafted Monk with the 11th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft, though it’s been a rocky ride for him through four seasons.
