The Lakers are adding a familiar face to their backcourt ahead of the 2022–23 season after agreeing to terms with guard Dennis Schröder, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Schröder, 28, will reportedly sign a one-year, $2.64 million deal to return to L.A. after departing the franchise last offseason following a one-year stint. The 10-year veteran started 61 games for the Lakers during the 2020–21 campaign, averaging 15.4 points and 5.8 assists in 32.1 minutes per game.
After helping L.A. to a 42-30 record and a playoff appearance two years ago, Schröder will enter Year 11 playing for a franchise that looks quite different since he left.
