Brown Officially Re-Signs With Lakers

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed free agent guard Shannon Brown

He averaged a career-high 8.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists playing in all 82 regular-season games, including seven starts last season. During the Lakers' run to the NBA championship, Brown averaged 4.9 points and 1.3 rebounds.

General manager Mitch Kupchak says the Lakers were aware that Brown had several attractive offers from other teams and they're glad he chose to remain with them.

Brown has won two NBA titles since being acquired by the Lakers in February 2009 as part of a trade with the Charlotte Bobcats.
