As Talen Horton-Tucker continues to have a breakout sophomore season, there has been growing interest around the league to pursue the young talent. Horton-Tucker’s two-year rookie contract with the Los Angeles Lakers expires this summer.
After receiving some minutes during the Lakers’ title run, Horton-Tucker was a standout performer during the preseason as the team took a cautious approach with their veterans because of the shortened offseason.
Horton-Tucker rode some of that momentum into the regular season, and despite a recent stretch of not appearing in multiple games, was right back in the swing of things against the Chicago Bulls.
