Marcus Smart, who played the first nine seasons of his career with the Celtics, agreed to a deal with the Lakers on Saturday.

Veteran guard Marcus Smart will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers after receiving a contract buyout from the Washington Wizards, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

Smart split last season with the Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies, who traded for him two offseasons ago in the deal that landed Kristaps Porzingis in Boston. The 31-year-old guard had previously been the longest-tenured player on the Celtics, with nine years of experience, and earned the Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021-22.
