China's Sun agrees to terms with NBA Lakers

LOS ANGELES — Chinese national team member Sun Yue has agreed to terms on a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, the National Basketball Association club announced on Saturday.

The Lakers said on their website that they hope to finalize details on a contract with Sun in the coming weeks. Sun is in Beijing competing in the Summer Games with his Chinese teammates.

The Lakers drafted the 22-year-old Sun in the second round of the 2007 NBA entry draft.

Instead of heading to southern California, Sun continued to play with his club team Beijing Aoshen and with the Chinese national team.
