After a stint with the Lakers in NBA Summer League, Shareef O’Neal reportedly has a new home.
The son of former Lakers center and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, Shareef has signed a deal with G-League Ignite, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The contract is reportedly worth six figures.
O’Neal went unselected in the 2022 NBA draft after leaving LSU following his junior season. He played in six games with the Lakers during the summer, averaging 4.7 points in 10.9 minutes per game.
O’Neal was a vaunted recruit, but played in just 37 college games over four years.
