In December of 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Devontae Cacok to a two-way contract after a solid stint with the team during Summer League and an impressive start with the team’s G-League affiliate the South Bay Lakers. Cacok even got himself a championship ring in 2020 with the franchise.
Still on that two-way contract during the 2020-21 season, Cacok’s opportunities to make an impact on the main roster were few and far between, though he did get a couple of chances due to the massive amount of injuries the team suffered through. Lakers reserve Montrezl Harrell also took a liking to Cacok, helping to mentor him throughout the season.
