Los Angeles Lakers officially announce Collin Sexton signing

Another Los Angeles Lakers offseason move just became official.

The Lakers announced the signing of free agent guard Collin Sexton on Sunday, July 12 after originally agreeing to terms on a two-year, $19 million contract on July 1. The news comes days after the Lakers officially announced the Walker Kessler trade and their other notable free agent acquisitions of Quentin Grimes and Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Sexton, originally drafted with the eighth overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Draft, split time between the Charlotte Hornets and the Chicago Bulls last season. He averaged 15.4 points, 3.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. In his eight seasons in the league, Sexton has averaged 18.3 points, 3.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game.
