One of the most beloved and longest-tenured players for the Los Angeles Lakers could soon be headed elsewhere in NBA free agency. Alex Caruso may have played his last game in Purple and Gold, as he’s expected to speak with several teams starting today.
According to Jovan Buha and Bill Oram of The Athletic, the expectation is Caruso will be courted by several teams once able to start taking calls later today as a free agent:
The Lakers should and will try to retain Caruso and Horton-Tucker, but that will depend on how deep they are willing to go into the luxury tax.
