Team superstar, LeBron James, appears to be ecstatic about the German's arrival.

"Yessir! So damn happy to have you back! You are like that! LFG!" LeBron shared a supporting message on his Instagram account.

"This past year didn't feel right… I felt misunderstood and nobody really knew the story," Schroder wrote himself when the news broke out.

"I'm coming back to the biggest organization to make sh*t right! I hope Laker Nation going to support me every single day! I will give everything I have every single day! It's an honor to play for the Lakers. Can't wait to get started!"

Schroder averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in 2020-21 when represented the Purple & Gold jersey for the first time.

Those numbers are a bit deceiving, as Schroder wasn't himself in the playoffs, where LeBron James-led Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Phoenix Suns.

Though, seems that the 29-year-old German is more than ready to prove his worth again.

Schroder has the sixth-highest scoring average in FIBA EuroBasket 2022, scoring 21.6 points per game, shooting 43.1% from the field and 28.6% from beyond the arc. He led his country to EuroBasket Top 4.
