Big man Andre Drummond intends to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers after he clears waivers Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, his agent confirmed to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Boston Celtics reportedly had interest in signing Drummond on the buyout market and even met with the 27-year-old center Friday after the Cleveland Cavaliers waived him, per Wojnarowski. The Athletic’s Jared Weiss also reported Drummond was “strongly considering” coming to Boston.
The contract for Andre Drummond in Los Angeles is the amount- $794,536- that he gave back in his buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Lakers will have a $554,988 cap hit.
The Lakers are $954,349 below the hard cap and have enough room to sign a 15th player.
