Los Angeles Lakers Re-Sign Center Jaxson Hayes

The 25-year-old appeared in 56 games (35 starts) for the Lakers in 2024-25, averaging 6.8 points on a career-high 72.2 percent shooting from the floor, along with 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.5 minutes.

Los Angeles Lakers Sign Forward Jake LaRavia

“Jake is a high IQ two-way player with ideal skills for a JJ Redick basketball system,” Lakers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka said. “Being just 23 years old, we think Jake has significant basketball upside, which will be honed nicely in our Lakers basketball development program.”
