DENG IN LINE TO BE A LAKER

By on July 2, 2016

Former Great Britain international Luol Deng is set to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers next week.

Currently a free agent, the one-time Brixton TopCats junior has agreed a four-year £54 million contract as a free agent after spending the past two seasons with the Miami Heat, in a move first reported by Yahoo Sports.

The 31-year-old Deng, who last played for GB in 2012, averaged 12.3 points and 6.0 rebounds for Miami last season.

The Lakers will become his fourth NBA team following previous stints in Cleveland and Chicago. He will become the second player from the UK to feature for the Lakers, following Steve Bucknall.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
