Huertas averaged 4.5 points and 3.4 assists in 53 games last season.
Per Yahoo:
Huertas, 33, completed his first NBA season after a 14-year career in South America and Europe.
Huertas will be the third point guard on a roster that added Jose Calderon in a trade with Chicago on Wednesday. D’Angelo Russell will be the Lakers’ starting point guard.
Huertas’ ability to distribute the ball and settle the Lakers’ offense turned him into a dependable presence for the Lakers.
