The Lakers have signed Robbie Avila.

The Lakers are betting on Robbie Avila after the 2026 Draft with an Exhibit 10 contract. The 2.08m center, known for his glasses and playing style similar to Nikola Jokic, will try to earn a spot in the Summer League and the training camp. Dubbed on social media as "College Jokic" or "Milk Chamberlain," he arrives after averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and shooting 41% from three-point range at Saint Louis. Now he will seek to prove that he is much more than just a viral sensation.
