The deal, negotiated by agents from AMR Agency, is fully guaranteed, signaling the Lakers' confidence in LaRavia's potential.

Drafted 19th overall in 2022, the young forward averaged 6.1 points while shooting an impressive 38.5% from beyond the arc in his brief stint with the Kings. His strong performance caught the attention of the Lakers, who swiftly secured his services for the next two seasons. Lakers fans can look forward to seeing LaRavia make an impact and potentially elevate the team's game in the upcoming season.
