Dennis Schroder returns to Lakers despite ugly end to previous L.A. stint

Oh, how things can change in a year.

Veteran point guard Dennis Schroder is signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, returning him to the same team that unceremoniously let him go last summer, the team announced Friday. The contract is a one-year, $2.4 million deal, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Schroder is coming off a season split between the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets, in which he averaged 13.5 points and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 43.1% from the field (34.4% from deep). Before that, well, he was playing for the Lakers.
