Marcus Allen has signed a contract with the Lakers, the team announced in a press release. Reggie Hearn, who signed with the team on Tuesday, was waived to make room on the 20-man roster.
Allen spent last season with the G League’s South Bay Lakers, averaging 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 43 games. The former Stanford guard also joined the Lakers for Summer League play.
Allen appears ticketed for the G League again. L.A.’s roster for the start of the season is virtually set with 14 players on guaranteed contracts and both two-way slots already filled.
It’s about time Al Davis let go of him and his Heisman so he can get some carries somewhere else.
(That’s for the old-enough NFL fans.)
The same thought went through my head. I never forgave Al Davis for that.
TD’s are worth 6 points.
