Howard’s one-year deal for the veteran minimum can’t be signed until Friday at 12:01 p.m. PDT. The Lakers also agreed to one-year, veteran-minimum deals with 3-and-D wings Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington, who have also played previously with the club, shortly after the free-agency window opened. Later Monday night, the Lakers reach an agreement on a one-year deal with Kent Bazemore, another sharpshooting wing. Howard won a title with the Lakers in 2020 during his second one-year stint with the team, but he bolted to the Philadelphia 76ers last season. Horton-Tucker, 20, and Caruso, 27, also helped the Lakers win the title in 2020.
