Kentavious Caldwell-Pope NBA Career

Detroit Pistons drafted him in 2013, and he joined the team for the 2013 NBA Summer League. He rejoined the Pistons the next year where, in five games, he averaged 24.0 points and 7.4 rebounds. He played a crucial role in helping the Pistons reach the playoffs since 2009 in the 2015-16 season.

In June 2017, he was suspended from two games after he was found guilty of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The next month, the Pistons released him, and he became a free agent.

He signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers worth $8 million. But in December of that year, he was found guilty of a probation violation he committed during the summer that handed him a 25-day jail sentence. He failed to submit to the alcohol and drug testing, which was mandatory for the probation. But, he was allowed to play the home games under the work-release program.

In 2018, he re-signed the deal with the Lakers for one year for $12 million, and the next year he inked a two-year contract worth $16 million with the same team. He played an instrumental role in his first NBA championship when the Lakers beat Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals.

On November 23, 2020, he joined the Lakers again for a three-year for $40 million. He finally ended his stint with the Lakers when they traded him to Washington Wizards (on August 6, 2021) where Caldwell-Pope stayed for one year before he was traded to the Denver Nuggets for $30 million on July 6, 2022.
