Taurean Prince will not return to the Lakers next season as he intends to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to reports from Shams Charania. Prince’s departure comes as a surprise, as he expressed interest in returning to the Lakers just last month and will instead play for his former coach Darvin Ham, who has become an assistant to Doc Rivers. Prince, 30, signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Lakers last season and has been a significant part of the rotation in Los Angeles, with his 49 starts and 27.0 minutes per game being his highest numbers since the 2019-20 season. He has appeared in 78 games overall, averaging 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per night, while shooting .396 from 3-point range. A minimum salary deal for Prince will pay him a salary of $2,988,550 and count against the Bucks’ cap of $2,087,519.
