Bradley was recently waived by the Golden State Warriors last week. He played 10 games with the Miami Heat last season averaging 8.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists and was traded to the Houston Rockets before the trade deadline last year.
The former member of NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2016 played with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019-2020 NBA season and was given by the team an NBA ring even he didn’t suit up in the 2020 NBA post season.
Bradley was part of the 2019-20 championship Lakers and the 11-year veteran returns to fill the team’s open roster spot. https://t.co/Tuq8QNqLUT

Bradley averaged 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal in 49 games he played with the Lakes during their championship run.
Bradley will fill up some playing time for the team as guard Talen Horton-Tucker and three-and-d specialist Trevor Ariza were dealing with injuries and will sit a few weeks.
