After difficult summer, Wayne Ellington hopes to stick with Lakers

Posted Oct 3, 2014
"It's been a rough summer for me, but I worked my [rear] off," said Wayne Ellington at the Lakers' annual media day on Monday. The Lakers signed Ellington to a non-guaranteed contract. If he can stick with the team past training camp, $315,656 of his salary will guaranteed on Nov. 15, and $581,692 of his contract locks in if he's on the roster as of Dec. 1. Ellington has made a quick impression on teammate Kobe Bryant. (Los Angeles Times)
