Forward Jason Kapono(notes) intends to sign a one-year contract for the veteran’s minimum after the NBA’s free-agent moratorium is lifted on Friday, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Kapono, a 30-year-old UCLA graduate, visited the Lakers on Monday.
Kapono was lost on the Philadelphia 76ers’ bench last season, appearing in just 24 games. Nevertheless, he’s a 43.7 percent 3-point shooter in his eight-season career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors and 76ers.
