The Los Angeles Lakers have signed undrafted rookie free agent Joel Berry II out of the University of North Carolina, the team announced on Wednesday.
Though terms of Berry’s deal have not yet been disclosed, it’s likely the deal is only at most partially guaranteed. It’s also possible the Lakers have signed Berry to an Exhibit 10 deal, which would allow them to convert his non or partially guaranteed contract to a two-way contract. The latter would make sense if the team is planning on releasing Malik Newman or Alex Caruso, who currently vacate both of the Lakers’ two-way spots.
