Ziaire Williams joins Lakers on $3 million contract

The Los Angeles Lakers filled out their roster on Monday, ​signing small forward Ziaire Williams ‌to a one-year, $3 million deal, multiple outlets reported.
Williams is reuniting with Bronny ​James, who he played ​alongside at California high school Sierra ⁠Canyon.

The No. 10 overall pick ​in the 2021 draft by ​the Grizzlies, Williams is a career 8.7 ppg scorer, though he averaged a ​career high 10.2 points last ​season for the Nets, his second season ‌in ⁠Brooklyn after three seasons in Memphis.

The Williams signing leaves the Lakers at the roster maximum ​of 15 ​players, though ⁠ESPN reports Los Angeles is still pursuing Jonathan ​Kuminga, who could be ​acquired ⁠via a sign-and-trade deal with the Atlanta Hawks.

Williams joins other recent ⁠signings ​Quentin Grimes, Walker ​Kessler, Kevon Looney, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin ​Sexton in Los Angeles.
