RJ Davis is Headed to Hollywood: Tar Heel Star Signs Two-Way Deal with the Los Angeles Lakers 🌴💜💛
From Chapel Hill to Los Angeles RJ Davis is officially an LA Laker.
The North Carolina Tar Heels’ standout guard has signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, marking the next chapter in a phenomenal basketball journey. After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, Davis didn’t have to wait long for an opportunity to prove himself at the professional level and what better place than under the bright lights of Tinseltown?
Davis, who wore No. 4 for the Tar Heels, was one of the most accomplished guards in the country last season. Known for his clutch shooting, leadership, and relentless motor, Davis consistently delivered big-time performances for UNC, helping them contend on the national stage and carrying the storied program through key moments.
Despite the disappointment of not hearing his name on draft night, Davis never wavered. His two-way deal with the Lakers gives him a valuable chance to split time between the NBA and the G League, where he can develop and eventually earn a full-time roster spot in LA’s rotation a path many before him have taken to stardom.
Davis joins a Lakers team undergoing a youthful shift, and with his grit, defensive tenacity, and ability to stretch the floor, he fits the mold of the modern combo guard. Whether it’s knocking down shots at Crypto.com Arena or running the show in the G League, RJ Davis is ready to shine in purple and gold.
From ACC battles to NBA dreams this is only the beginning for RJ Davis. 🌟
