SLUG: lakers-target-kuminga-hachimura-free-agency
The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing to pursue forwards Jonathan Kuminga and Rui Hachimura when the NBA free-agency period opens, according to a July 3 report.
The franchise is expected to reach out to both players as it looks to strengthen its frontcourt rotation for the 2026-27 season. No contract figures or timetable for meetings were disclosed in the report.
Both Kuminga and Hachimura are eligible to negotiate new deals once the league’s moratorium ends, giving the Lakers an opportunity to add two versatile scorers and defenders to their roster.
