On January 28, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced that the team has signed a contract with forward Stanley Johnson, and the official did not disclose the details of the contract, but according to previous US media reports, this is a two-year contract, and the second year is the team option. Johnson will earn $888616 salary for the rest of the season, and next season's team options will be worth 2351521 dollars, with a total two-year contract worth about $3.24 million.
So far this season, Johnson has played in 14 games for the Lakers, including 6 starts, he averaged 21.2 minutes per game, contributed 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting 51.6% from the field and 34.4% from three-point range, both of which hit a career high. Johnson's stats aren't so eye-catching, but he's the pitch, especially on the defensive end. When the Lakers state media announced the news, the caption was: "Efforts are rewarded!" (Applause emoticons)"
Johnson has previously signed three 10-day contracts with the Lakers, and Chalania has said that Johnson's infectious defense and energy have won him the protection for the rest of the season this year. In addition, the famous Wonarowski also said that Johnson was willing to accept the second year team option, so that the two sides quickly reached a contract extension agreement. After all, the Lakers need to maintain some flexibility in the offseason, and Johnson has cooperated with the Lakers' work.
According to the data, since December 26, the Lakers' most used 5-man group is Westbrook + Bradley + Munch + Johnson + James, and this lineup has a total of 72 minutes and can win 12.7 points per 100 rounds.
The 25-year-old forward was deeply liked by the Lakers' local media and reporters, and after the Lakers officially announced his official contract extension, Lakers broadcaster Spectrum SportsNet posted a picture and wrote: "Officially, Stanley Johnson is back!" #湖人秀"
