The Los Angeles Lakers reach an agreement with veteran center Kevon Looney to fill their backup big-man role. Multiple outlets report the deal is for one season, valued at about $3.9 million, described as either a one-year contract and/or a veteran’s minimum. Looney, listed around 6-foot-9, has played 11 NBA seasons and is a three-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors. Under the agreement, Looney is expected to join the Lakers as the team’s backup center, complementing starter Walker Kessler. The reports consistently frame the signing as a solution to the Lakers’ need for depth at the center position during NBA free agency. Terms cited across coverage include the one-year length and the approximate salary, with no alternate contract structure reported by the sources provided. The Lakers’ acquisition gives them additional veteran frontcourt experience alongside Kessler for the upcoming season.
