one thing that mattered to me the most was finding a team that would be a
good fit for me. I wanted to be on a team where I would be able to play
freely and truly play the game I love with joy again. That has always been
the most important thing to me. After a LOT of prayer and long discussions
with family and friends, I wanted to personally let you guys know I'll be
joining the Charlotte Hornets.
My journey has never looked the way I (or anyone else) thought it would, but
God has always worked things out for my good and I am confident that he will
continue to do so. I want to thank Coach Clifford and the Hornets
organization for this opportunity - for taking the time to talk to me,
understanding my game, and most importantly, making it clear they believe in
me. For those of you who have been patiently waiting for news, from the
bottom of my heart, thank you for joining me on this journey. To the Lakers
organization and the city of Los Angeles, thank you for your support this
past season.
I have no idea what is coming next, but I promise I will do everything in my
power to contribute to this team and to improve as a player and as a person.
Here’s to the next chapter!
