Basketball star Dennis Schröder returns to the NBA top club Los Angeles Lakers. “We are very pleased to welcome Dennis Schröder back to the Lakers,” Vice President Rob Pelinka said in a club statement. Details of the contract were not released.
According to media information, it should be a one-year contract worth $ 2.64 million (2.64 million euros). This was reported, among other things, by ESPN, citing Schröder’s agents.
The 29-year-old captain of the German national team already played for the Lakers in 2020/21 and will now return to the side of superstar LeBron James. “It’s an honor to play for the @Lakers. Can’t wait to start!” Schroeder wrote on Instagram. The last year hasn’t felt right. He felt misunderstood and nobody really knew the story. He is now coming back to the largest organization to do everything right. “I’ll give everything I have, every single day!!”
Most recently, the point guard played for the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics, his contract expired at the end of the past season. “My advisor is already doing his job, he’s on the phone with all the teams. I’ll let him do his job and I’ll do mine here,” Schröder recently commented on speculation at the European Championship.
In the tournament with games in Cologne and Berlin, Schröder plays a prominent role for Germany. On September 18, it’s against Poland for the first German medal in 17 years.
