The Los Angeles Lakers met with former Milwaukee Bucks center and lottery pick Larry Sanders on Monday, according to Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum Sportsnet. Sanders last played in the NBA during the 2014015 NBA season, after which he retired due to “anxiety and depression” for which he checked himself into treatment for.
There have been rumors every so often since that Sanders could be gearing up for a return, and if he could approximate some of the shot-blocking skills he showed when at his best, he could certainly help the Lakers’ rim protection. Los Angeles is currently allowing their opponents to shoot a league-worst 66 percent within six feet of the basket this season, according to NBA.
