The deal is reportedly for two years and worth $12.85
million.
In two seasons with the Lakers, the 24-year-old Black has
averaged 5.3 points and 5.2 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game
while shooting 57.5 percent from the field over 77 games (27
starts).
"Tarik is a player whose strengths are well-suited for the style
of play we envision for our team going forward," Lakers general
manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement. "He plays the game
with a mix of athleticism, energy, and physicality that make him
a valuable frontcourt contributor in today's NBA."
Black was awarded to the Lakers on a waiver claim on Dec. 28,
2014. He appeared in 25 games (12 starts) for the Houston
Rockets to begin the 2014-15 season before being waived.
