Tyler Ennis found out about his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers via a Twitter notification to his phone while he was sitting in the team hotel in New Orleans. Like Corey Brewer though, he wasn’t completely surprised; the Houston Rockets said they were going to keep their core guys together, so they both knew it was a possibility.
Shortly after, head coach Luke Walton called his phone, welcoming him to his new team.
“It made me feel a lot more comfortable,” Ennis said.
The former Syracuse star was drafted by the Phoenix Suns with the 18th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
