Dudley’s interest in rejoining the Lakers was reported earlier this month. The veteran’s minimum this season for veterans with 10+ years experience is $2,564,753.

Dudley, 35, has bounced around the league in recent years but won a ring this summer with the Lakers in the Orlando bubble. He appeared in 45 regular-season games with the Lakers, averaging 1.5 PPG and 1.2 RPG in 8.1 MPG. He also saw action in nine postseason games but did not score.

He’s well-respected in the locker room and adds another veteran option for coach Frank Vogel.

He’s also played for the Suns, Hornets, Clippers, Bucks, Wizards and Nets during a journeyman career that has spanned 892 games.
