It's officially announced! According to previous reports, Sexton has agreed to a 2-year, $19 million deal with the Lakers, with a player option for the second year. He will wear jersey number 10 next season. Born on January 4, 1999, he stands 1.91m tall with a 2.01m wingspan, playing as a combo guard. He was the 8th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 draft. Sexton is a natural scorer; in his third season with the Cavaliers, he averaged an explosive 24.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.

He's really well-liked—never worried about not having a team to play for. The Pelicans officially announced signing free agent DeAndre Jordan to a contract; renowned reporter Fischer noted that Jordan's deal to return to New Orleans is for two years and $7.9 million, fully guaranteed.
