Sexton agreed to a two-year, $19 million contract with the Lakers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
LeBron James is leaving Los Angeles, and the Lakers are retooling via free agency. After re-signing Austin Reaves to a massive extension, the Lakers have signed Sexton, Quentin Grimes and Sandro Mamukelashvili, while pulling off a sign-and-trade for Walker Kessler. As things stand, Sexton appears set for a backup role behind Luka Doncic and Reaves in 2026-27.
