The Los Angeles Lakers are adding veteran frontcourt depth by agreeing to a one-year contract with center Kevon Looney. Multiple outlets report the deal is worth $3.9 million and is structured as a veteran’s minimum agreement. Looney, a 6-foot-9 player in his 11th NBA season, previously played for the Golden State Warriors, where he won three NBA championships. The Lakers are described as filling a need for a backup center alongside their existing frontcourt plans, with Yahoo Sports reporting Looney will back up Walker Kessler. Coverage notes the agreement happens during NBA free agency and that the signing is officially completed after the team reached terms. Overall reporting is consistent that the Lakers are bringing in an experienced, championship-tested big man for the 2024-25 season on a short-term deal.
