Schroder, who played for the Lakers in the 2020–21
season, plans to sign a one-year deal worth up to $2.64 million, according to
ESPN, which reported the deal along with The Athletic.
Schroder, who turned 29 on Thursday, has averaged
21.6 points and 7.3 assists for
Germany in the EuroBasket tournament.
He averaged 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.2
assists a game last season for Boston and Houston, but his season ended early
with a shoulder injury.
Schroder has reached the playoffs in seven of his
nine NBA seasons, the last time in 2021 when the Lakers lost to Phoenix in the
first round.
He rejected a long-term deal with the Lakers last
year and signed a one-year deal with Boston before being traded to Houston last
February.
Schroder adds a steadying presence in a Lakers’
backcourt that includes nine-time NBA All-Star and 2017 NBA Most Valuable
Player Russell Westbrook.
