Report: Darren Collison Will Not Play for Lakers This Season
- Updated: February 9, 2020
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, retired point guard Darren Collison will not be making a return to the NBA.
Veteran guard Darren Collison has decided that he won’t return to the NBA this season and plans to stay retired, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers and Clippers had been courting him, but Collison has informed teams that the timing isn’t right for him.

The Los Angeles Lakers were reportedly frontrunners for Collison’s services, as they continue to look for another ball-handler to add to their roster.
Collison was recently seen mingling with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss at Staples Center during the Lakers’ Thursday matchup against the Houston Rockets.
However, it doesn’t seem like she was able to convince Collison to suit up for the Lakers this season.
With Andre Iguodala, Marcus Morris and now Collison off the market, the Lakers will be hard-pressed to find any significant value in the buyout market moving forward.
