Duke in the NBA: Lakers exercise option on Brandon Ingram

Brandon Ingram was the No. 2 Overall selection in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers and he isn’t going any where any time soon as the Lakers have exercised their team option on the Duke Basketball product for the 2019-20 season.

Ingram will be starting his third season with the Lakers and where expectations are at the highest of his tenure with the team, primarily due to the addition of LeBron James.

Along with Ingram, the Lakers also exercised the option of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Josh Hart, locking up their young core for the next couple of years.
