Los Angeles Lakers Not Interested In Gilbert Arenas, According To Report

However, according to the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers don’t seem all that interested in adding the former All-Star.

Rumors of the Los Angeles Lakers’ interest in Gilbert Arenas appear to have some weight to them after the team worked out the guard on Sunday in Los Angeles. Arenas, who is currently a free agent, had been linked to the Lakers, with the team reportedly expressing interest in bringing him in for a workout. However, though Arenas reportedly performed well, the Lakers did not offer him a contract -- at least for now.

The report comes from ESPN Los Angeles’ Dave McMenamin.

Edit: The workout did happen over the weekend.

According to a report by CBSSports.com’s Ken Berger, the Lakers are waiting on details about a workout that Arenas is planning in the Los Angeles area later this week. Laker GM Mitch Kupchak is said to be open-minded about attending according to sources.
