Lakers Agree to Two-Way Deal with Lawson Lovering

The Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement with center Lawson Lovering. According to the report, journalist Michael Scotto announced the news.

The 23-year-old player shuttled between the Memphis Grizzlies and their G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, during his rookie season. Last season, Lovering appeared in two NBA games for the Grizzlies, averaging 7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in those contests.

The contract Lovering will sign is a two-way deal. This allows the player to suit up for both the Lakers' NBA roster and the G League team. Lovering will be added to the roster in place of AK Okereke, whom the Lakers had previously waived to create roster space.

The player's agent, Drew Kelso, confirmed the agreement to HoopsHype. Kelso's statement indicates that the final step toward finalizing the contract has been taken.
