Collin Sexton joins Los Angeles Lakers on two-year deal

Collin Sexton signed a two-year, $19 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason. The 27-year-old guard enters the roster with career averages of 18.3 points and 3.6 assists per game. Sexton stated the move was driven by a desire to compete on a larger stage and directly impact winning. Having spent his previous career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, and Chicago Bulls, he has yet to make an appearance in the NBA playoffs. The Lakers expect his arrival to provide consistent bench scoring and ball-handling support for Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. He is currently integrating with new teammates and coaching staff as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
