The Lakers governor contributed $1,800, the legal cap for Los Angeles' June 2 primary, to Pratt's bid to unseat Mayor Karen Bass.
Pratt, who has no political background, has raised nearly $540,000 since January, ahead of Bass's just under $500,000 over the same period, though Bass still leads in cash on hand.
A UCLA Luskin poll in early April found 40% of likely voters undecided, with Bass on 25%, Pratt 11% and Nithya Raman 9%; if no candidate wins 50%, the top two go to a November runoff.
