Caruso's conversations with the Lakers about a two-way contract have been in the works for a few weeks. After seeing his performance in the first few games, the Lakers decided not to wait any longer and offered him a two-year, two-way deal to stay with the organization. This was first reported by Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, and confirmed by TexAgs.
Including the ultimate Caruso hustle play, a steal at one end leading to an alley-oop slam at the other.
The contract signed by Caruso will be a two-way contract. This will give the Lakers the ability to bring Caruso up to the NBA team for a period of 45 days from their new G-League team, the South Bay Lakers. If you want to read more about two-way contracts, here's a good run down.
The Lakers and Caruso are not finished for the summer in Vegas; they will play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the Vegas Summer League playoffs tonight at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
