More on this storyline
Los Angeles Lakers fans received surprising news regarding Alex Len and Cam Reddish on Saturday morning. X account Legion Hoops shared an alleged report from Lakers insider Jovan Buha, which suggests the purple and gold were planning to cut Len, whom they signed after the trade deadline, and Reddish. Hours later, Buha cleared up the situation, stating that he never said such a thing about Len and Reddish. -via The Spun / March 24, 2025
A player on a two-way contract is ineligible for the playoffs. L.A. has until April 13, the last day of the regular season, to convert Goodwin or Jemison's contract to a standard NBA deal to have them available for the postseason. But the Lakers already have all 15 roster spots filled, so it would involve waiving a player to make it happen. Cam Reddish would be an obvious choice after falling out of the rotation, even with Rui Hachimura sitting out weeks because of a knee injury. He was already traded to the Charlotte Hornets this season before the Mark Williams deal was rescinded. -via ESPN / March 20, 2025
Freeing up the other spot is trickier. L.A. signed 7-footer Alex Len to its final roster spot last month, and Len turned down interest from the Indiana Pacers to come, sources told ESPN. Thus far, he has been used sparingly by Redick, with the coach turning to Jemison in backup center minutes behind Jaxson Hayes during L.A.'s recent eight-game winning streak. -via ESPN / March 20, 2025
