Anthony is the latest addition to the Lakers’ revamped roster, which includes Russell Westbrook, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington, Kent Bazemore and Malik Monk.
The 37-year-old will join forces with longtime friend and fellow 2003 Draft class member LeBron James.
Anthony averaged 13.1 points and 3.1 rebounds last season for the Portland Trail Blazers, the team that signed him as a free agent in 2019. He shot 40.9% from deep last season.
