Shake Milton: Breaking News

Let go by LAL

The Lakers waived Milton on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Milton will now have to explore other opportunities. The 28-year-old guard was traded from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in December, averaging 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 11.4 minutes per game across 30 regular-season appearances (one start) with the Lakers.

Muted finish to 2024-25 season

Milton averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.7 minutes over 57 games during the 2024-25 regular season. Milton logged only four total minutes during LA's first-round Western Conference playoff series against Minnesota, and he struggled to carve out a role after joining the team at the end of the calendar year. He averaged 3.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 32 games after being traded from the Nets, reaching double figures in the scoring column four times. Milton has suited up for five different teams over his last two seasons, so some stability would presumably benefit his overall development.

Not starting vs. Timberwolves

Milton is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. The Lakers rested most of their regulars for the regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers on April 13, and while Milton had an impressive performance in that matchup, he'll return to his regular bench role for this postseason opener. Milton had 16 points, two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in the loss to the Trail Blazers, but he will revert to the bench with Luka Doncic starting at point guard.
