Alex Caruso: Will sign two-way contract with Lakers

Caruso spent training camp with Oklahoma City last year, but wasn’t able to make
a strong impression and was waived prior to the season. However, the Lakers like
what they’ve seen from the 23-year-old during the early portions of the Las
Vegas Summer League, where he’s averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists
and 1.3 steals across 17.2 minutes during four contests. In signing to a two-way
deal, Caruso is expected to spend the majority of the upcoming season with the
team’s G-League affiliate, but he’ll still be allowed to spend a maximum of 45
days with the big club, which should give Caruso plenty of time to work closely
with the organization in hopes of having a strong developmental year.
