Kendrick Nunn, who missed all of last season because of a bone bruise in his right knee, is opting into the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers worth $5.25 million, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Nunn, who turns 27 this summer, signed with Los Angeles for the mid-level exception last summer but never played a game during the regular season after hurting his ankle during training camp and later discovering the bone bruise, which was slow to heal.
The Chicago native came into the league undrafted out of Oakland and latched onto the Miami Heat, averaging 15 points on 36.
