Los Angeles Lakers Offseason Update: Cole Swider Leaves NBA for Anadolu Efes
The Los Angeles Lakers have been relatively quiet in the NBA offseason, with their biggest move being the signing of Luka Doncic to a lucrative contract. They have also added new players like Jake LaRavia, Deandre Ayton, and Marcus Smart. However, the team news has slowed down recently.
Former Lakers player Cole Swider has decided to leave the NBA and join Anadolu Efes in Türkiye, as reported by NBA insider Marc Stein. Swider had a brief stint with the Lakers after going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft, playing in seven games and averaging 3.1 points per game.
Swider's NBA career did not go as planned, but he will now have the opportunity to play in the EuroLeague with Anadolu Efes. It remains to be seen if the Lakers will make any more moves this offseason under the leadership of Rob Pelinka.
