The Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday exercised the team option on 3-point specialist Jodie Meeks’ contract for the 2013-14 season. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.
“Jodie is not only a gifted 3-point shooter who helps us space the floor on the offensive end, but he is also a very active and underrated player defensively who continues to work on and improve all aspects of his game,” said Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak. “He was an important member of our team last year and we look forward to having him back for the 2013-14 season.”
In 78 games, including 10 starts last season, Meeks averaged 7.9 points and 2.2 rebounds.
