Lakers rookie Robbie Avila may return to college

LeBron James may not be the only Los Angeles Laker leaving the team, as Robbie Avila, signed to an Exhibit 10 contract after going undrafted, is contemplating his future after being granted an additional year of NCAA eligibility. A recent court ruling allows high school athletes from the class of 2022 to reclaim eligibility, prompting Avila to decide between staying with the Lakers or returning to college. The six-foot-10 center, who gained attention for his unique look and nicknames, had minimal impact during Summer League. Fans might miss his entertaining presence if he opts to go back to college.
