The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with Jake LaRavia, per ESPN. The 23-year-old forward strengthens LA’s wing depth after Dorian Finney-Smith’s departure to Houston.
LaRavia, 6-foot-8, 235 pounds, is known as a tenacious defender with playmaking abilities. He averaged 8.6 points on 43.9% shooting from three and 3.3 rebounds in March with Sacramento, showing promise after his trade from Memphis.
Finney-Smith’s departure allowed LA to use a portion of their full midlevel exception to sign LaRavia while maintaining salary cap flexibility for 2027, when the Lakers plan to pursue a max free agent.
