Holman is still eligible for a $50,000 bonus if he spends 60-days with the South Bay Lakers.

Howard was signed as a result of DeMarcus Cousins’ season-ending injury. His contract is fully non-guaranteed and will earn money for every day that he spends with the team after the start of the season.
Holman will likely be a member of the South Bay Lakers in the G-League and could earn a spot on the parent roster later in the year if injuries plague the depth of the team.
