In the 2025 NBA Free Agency, Brook Lopez's future changed as he departed from the Milwaukee Bucks to sign as a free agent with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, the center could have signed with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier but chose not to for a reason.

This was reported by NBA Rumors on ESPN. Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst state that Lopez was strongly linked to the Lakers before the market opened, but he quickly reached an agreement with the Clippers for 2 years and $18 million.

ESPN reports that uncertainty surrounding LeBron James's future with the Lakers influenced his decision to sign with the Clippers.

Lopez will be a backup for the Clippers behind Ivica Zubac, whereas he would have been a starter for the Lakers if he had signed with them.
