Three years removed from his lone NBA stint, forward Marcus Landry signed a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the team announced.

The 6-foot-7, 230-pound Wisconsin product played 17 games with the New York Knicks in 2009-10, averaging 2.4 points in 6.2 minutes. He then saw brief action for the Boston Celtics in one game the same season, going scoreless.
