    The Los Angeles Lakers have signed Spanish basketball centre Marc Gasol as the NBA champions reconfigure their roster

    The Los Angeles Lakers have signed Spanish basketball centre Marc Gasol as the NBA champions reconfigure their roster


    The 35-year-old has spent the last one-and-a-half seasons with the Toronto Raptors and won a championship ring in 2019 with his sturdy defence, strong passing skills and three-point shooting accuracy.

    Gasol's NBA career has come full circle as he joins the team that drafted him in 2007.
