Lakers, Stanley Johnson have Mutual Interest in Another Contract, Per Report
“Stanley Johnson has been a rare bright spot for the Los Angeles Lakers since joining the team on a hardship exemption 10-day contract. His energy and defense were so impressive that he managed to start three of the five games he spent on the team and averaged 25.2 minutes per game for the,” reports Sam Quinn in CBS Sports.
“That doesn’t mean he’ll be gone forever. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, there is mutual interest in another contract between the two sides, and Lakers coach Frank Vogel said we still hope to have him back when asked about Johnson on Monday. So why isn’t Johnson still a Laker? In all likelihood, it’s only a technicality.”
