The Los Angeles Lakers have signed AK Okereke, a forward from Vanderbilt University, to a two-way NBA contract. This move follows the conclusion of the 2026 NBA Draft, where the Lakers made several strategic picks. Okereke, who averaged 9.6 points with 48.1% shooting and 40% from three-point range last season, previously transferred to Vanderbilt after three years at Cornell. He played a key role in helping Vanderbilt reach the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012.
