The 32-year-old joins the Lakers just six months after his NBA career appeared to be coming to an end. 

Bogut injured his left tibia on his debut for the Cleveland Cavaliers in his one and only appearance for the franchise.

The terms of the deal with the Lakers have not been released, but it is reported to be a one-year deal worth almost $3 million AUD. 

Along with the Cavaliers, Bogut has played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks. 

The NBA season begins in just a fortnight.
