Lakers Add Versatile Forward Okereke | Los Angeles Lakers News

Lakers just added AK Okereke on a two-way contract — a 6’7”, 245-pound forward who averaged nearly 10 points and 3 rebounds while shooting over 40% from three at Vanderbilt, helping them reach the NCAA Tournament’s second round. Starting as a walk-on, he blossomed into an All-Ivy League selection, leading the conference in field goal percentage. Now donning 31 and suiting up for Summer League, he’s averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and a block. With all three two-way spots now filled — alongside returning standout Chris Mañon and rookie Peter Suder (Player of the Year at Miami OH) — the Lakers are building depth, though these deals remain flexible as players could be called up or moved as the season unfolds.
