Terms were not released, but earlier it was reported Huertas
agreed to a two-year deal.
"Marcelo's understanding of the game, unselfishness, and
professionalism are assets to our team and he has an uncanny
ability to change the pace of the game," Lakers general manager
Mitch Kupchak said. "He's fundamentally solid but also has a
flair and excitement to his style of play, which makes him a fan
favorite."
The 2015-16 season was Huertas' first in the NBA after playing
professionally in Brazil, Spain, and Italy since 2001,
He led the Lakers in assists at 3.4 per game and also averaged
4.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 53 games.
He played four seasons with Spanish power FC Barcelona before
coming to the NBA.
