Los Angeles Lakers vs. Washington Wizards Live Stream: Watch Online NBA TV Game Streaming at 7 PM

The Los Angeles Lakers got their man back in Kobe Bryant with a two year extension to keep him off the free agent market and now the team is hoping that they can get him to return to the court soon, as the squad travels to play against the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center on Tuesday in a game that will be live on NBATV starting up at 7:00 pm ET in DC.

The Lakers may have overpaid a bit for their star, but he has brought them money and championships and now he is locked in to finish his career with the team. The Lakers still feel that they can attract stars and the organization feels that they can still win championships with him at an older age. The team comes in even on the season at 7-7 and that is much better than the winless start they had last year and now they will play the Wizards at 5-8 before heading to play the Brooklyn Nets in a back to back before Thanksgiving at the Barclays Center.

The team is averaging just under 100 points per game and is ranked seventh in rebounding and assists and they take on John Wall and his Wizards team that is ranked 21st in defense and the Lakers are coming off of a nice win against the Kings. The Wizards last defeated the Knicks in a game that saw Wall have 31 points and seven assists and then the team will play the Bucks after playing the Lakers and Washington feels that they to can make a run to the playoffs in the weaker eastern conference this season as John Wall matures into a solid young point guard.

Future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant signed a two-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the team announced.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed but Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said the extension meant the 35-year-old would finish his NBA career in Los Angeles.

"We've said all along that our priority and hope was to have Kobe finish his career as a Laker, and this should ensure that that happens," Kupchak said in a statement.

"To play 20 years in the NBA, and to do so with the same team, is unprecedented, and quite an accomplishment. Most importantly however, it assures us that one of the best players in the world will remain a Laker, bringing us excellent play and excitement for years to come."

Bryant, who is currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, joined the Lakers in 1996 and has gone to establish himself as one of the game's all-time greats.

He has helped the Lakers win five NBA championships and was voted as the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008. A 15-time All-Star, Bryant is fourth in the all-time scoring list and has won two Olympic gold medals with the United States.
