EL SEGUNDO – Like everyone else, Tyler Ennis found out on Twitter.
Ennis was in his hotel room on Thursday morning in New Orleans, after the Houston Rockets had returned from their morning shootaround and before the NBA trade deadline hit. He was scrolling through the social-media application on his phone when a handful of notifications arrived with news.
The 22-year-old guard had been dealt to the Lakers.
“It was a quick turnaround from there,” Ennis said.
The itinerary followed with a short return flight to Houston later in the day.
On Friday, he flew to Los Angeles.
