Former Syracuse Basketball Star Tyler Ennis Traded To Los Angeles

A second former Syracuse one-and-done player will suit up for a different NBA team.

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard Marcelo Huertas to the Houston Rockets for guard Tyler Ennis as well as the draft rights to guard/forward Brad Newley, according to an announcement from Earvin “Magic” Johnson, the Lakers’ newly installed president of basketball operations.

Ennis’ move comes on the heels of my hometown Washington Wizards acquiring forward Chris McCullough, a former ‘Cuse guy, as well as forward Bojan Bogdanovic from the Brooklyn Nets.

While McCullough’s deal puts him on a roster that is in the thick of the playoff race.
