Two days following the opening of the Free Agency, we continue to be entitled to different signatures, more or less large. The latest is part of the second category, with Lonnie Walker arriving at the Nets following a season in Los Angeles.
The Lakers have just extended many players who allowed the legendary franchise to make a big run in the second half of the 2022-23 season, but Lonnie Walker is not part of the lot. Indeed, according to Adrian Wojnarowski d’ESPN, Walker has signed a one-year contract with the franchise in Brooklyn, where he may hope to have a bigger role than in Los Angeles. Details of his new salary ($6.5 million this season) have not been disclosed.

Lonnie Walker remains on an honest campaign at the Lakers, with stats of 11.7 points in 23.2 minutes per evening (56 games played, 32 as a starter), almost 45% shooting including more than 36% at 3 -points and 86% in free throws.
He was notably one of the few to shine at the very start of the season when the Lakers were in trouble, before seeing his role reduced due to injuries and upheavals in the Californian workforce. All this before rising from its ashes at the best time, during the Playoffs. No one in Los Angeles has forgotten the Lonnie Walker Game once morest the Warriors, in which he helped tip the series in LA’s favor with 15 points in the fourth quarter of Game 4.
Productive, professional, hardworking and endowed with great athletic qualities, Lonnie Walker will now deploy his talents in a young Brooklyn team where he will try to integrate well.
