The Los Angeles Lakers have requested a career-ending injury application to have the salary of Luol Deng removed from the team's books.

Dang agreed to give-back $7.5 million in a buyout with the Lakers in September 2018, but the team then used the stretch provision on the remaining $29 million on his contract.

Deng retired last October and the stretched money is on the Lakers' books through 2022.
