The Los Angeles Lakers suffered several changes in their team roster compared to how the team ended, even when the players helped to turn things around and make it into the WCF.

One of the players explicitly signed to help the team in the last playoffs was the guard Shaquille Harrison, who only had a few minutes with the team after being upgraded from the South Bay Lakers.

Per Eurohoops, the free agent and former LA combo guard Harrison are under consideration from multiple EuroLeague clubs, having him away from the NBA.

The 6'4" southpaw out of Tulsa, 29, is known as a solid point-of-attack defender at either guard spot who can finish around the rim but isn't much of a jump shooter. He's played in stints for the Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets, and Portland Trail Blazers. He was the G League's Defensive Player of the Year in 2021/22 while with the Delaware Blue Coats, the Philadelphia 76ers' NBAGL affiliate.

Shaquille Harrison didn't have enough opportunity with the Lakers

Harrison played spot minutes for LA across eight playoff games, already out of hand by the time he hit the hardwood. In those games, he averaged 1.3 points on 57.1% field goal shooting over 3.5 minutes a game.
