Free-agent center Thomas Bryant has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to multiple reports.
Bryant was originally drafted by the Lakers in the second round of the 2017 draft, but was waived after a rookie season that saw him play in only 52 games. He gives this Lakers team more frontcourt depth and a starting-caliber center to pair alongside Anthony Davis.
Bryant, who will turn 25 on July 31, played a combined 37 games over the past two seasons after a torn ACL cost him most of the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns with the Washington Wizards.
