Jaden Hardy Joins Lakers | Los Angeles Lakers News

Jaden Hardy’s NBA dream just got bigger—he’s now a Los Angeles Laker, traded from the Wizards in a deal that sent Deandre Ayton and two second-round picks to Dallas. A scoring guard who never played college ball, Hardy thrived with the Wizards, averaging 12+ points while shooting efficiently from deep. Now in LA, he’s ready to ignite off the bench—and picked jersey No. 7 as a tribute to Luka Doncic, the star he played alongside in Dallas. For Hardy, it’s more than a new team—it’s a dream come true, especially as the Lakers chase stability under their latest ownership group.
