Talen Horton-Tucker was involved in trade rumors, but eventually remained with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Even though the Lakers considered including Horton-Tucker in the package for Kyle Lowry, the young guard remained with the defending champions.

“I’m just appreciative of still being here,” Horton-Tucker said, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

Talen Horton-Tucker will be a restricted free agent this offseason and has already attracted interest from several teams.
