EL SEGUNDO – In response to media inquiries regarding Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Lakers issue the following statement:
“This is a legal matter, stemming from an incident that occurred last season while Kentavious was a member of another NBA team. The Los Angeles Lakers are abiding by the terms of a program for Kentavious that were established for him by a court in the state of Michigan. As such, we will have no further comment at this time.”
