As expected, it appears the Los Angeles Lakers have no intention of bringing back veteran forward Metta World Peace for another season.
On Thursday, World Peace went through his exit interview with Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka and was informed that he likely won’t be bring back for the 2017-18 NBA season, via Lakers Nation reporter Serena Winters:
Metta World Peace just said Magic Johnson told him they’re probably not going to bring him back next year.

When the Lakers faced the visiting New Orleans Pelicans at the Staples Center on Tuesday night, it was World Peace’s time to shine.
