Lakers bring back Nick Young


The Los Angeles Lakers officially re-signed guard Nick Young to a multi-year contract, the team announced Monday.

Terms were not released, but the Los Angeles Times reported previously that Young agreed to a four-year, $21.5-million deal.

Young had a career year in 2013-14 after originally signing with the Lakers as a free agent in July 2013. The Los Angeles native averaged a career-high 17.9 points in his first season with the Lakers.

The Lakers also re-signed free agent forward Ryan Kelly. In 2013-14, his rookie NBA season, the 23-year-old Kelly averaged 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.2 minutes per game, and started 25 contests while appearing in 59 total games. — Reuters
