As the Lakers enter an offseason with plenty of work to do to make a return to the playoffs, one addition from last summer has reportedly committed to coming back.
Point guard Kendrick Nunn has picked up his player option for next season, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. Nunn will make $5.25 million in 2022-23.
The veteran guard agreed to a two-year deal last offseason, but ended up not appearing in a game for the Lakers after battling a knee injury. Nunn had spent his first two NBA seasons with the Heat after going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft.
