Los Angeles Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka made the announcement of the signing. Mays joins the Lakers from the Portland Trail Blazers, where he appeared in 21 games and was recently waived by the Trail Blazers’ franchise.
Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add young stars, who could provide much-needed support to their star duo LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Known for his intelligent signings, Rob Pelinka opted to go for two-way contracts for new additions. The Lakers’ new addition Skyler Mays averaged 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists for the Blazers. The three-year veteran was the 50th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Hawks and also has played for Atlanta Hawks for two seasons.
