After going undrafted this summer and joining the Heat for Summer League play, Johnson is signing with Los Angeles. While the 23-year-old point guard could compete for a spot on the regular-season roster, the Lakers now own his G League rights, making it possible the team waives Johnson before camp begins. ...

Lakers' Anton Watson: Agrees to Exhibit 10 deal with Lakers Rotowire Sep 18, 2026 The Lakers signed Watson to an Exhibit 10 deal Thursday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Watson appeared in nine regular-season games for the Knicks in 2024-25. He then spent the 2025-26 campaign in the G League. In 50 regular-season games with South Bay, Watson averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.2 minutes per contest. The 25-year-old will get another opportunity to suit up for Los Angeles this season, though another stint in the G League may be the most realistic outcome. ... See More ...

Lakers' Walker Kessler: Positioned for key role at center Rotowire Sep 11, 2026 Kessler was highlighted as a strong fit with Luka Doncic after the Lakers paid a steep price to acquire him, Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports reports. The Lakers' depth at center behind Kessler appears to be razor-thin, including veteran Kevon Looney as his primary backup, so Los Angeles could lean heavily on Kessler during his debut season in Los Angeles. He's slotting in as a distant tertiary scoring option behind Doncic and Austin Reaves, though the prospect of being the top lob threat for the dynamic backcourt duo bodes well for his efficiency; Deandre Ayton shot a career-high 67.1 percent from the field in that role last season. Kessler also seemed to be adding a three-point shot to his arsenal before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery last year, averaging 1.2 threes to go with a career-high 3.0 assists per game in his five regular-season appearances for Utah, so he looks to have plenty of nine-category fantasy upside if he's able to shoot a reasonable percentage from the free-throw line. ...

Lakers' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Another strong FIBA showing Rotowire Sep 1, 2026 Mamukelashvili registered 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Georgia's 98-90 win over Portugal in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier. Mamukelashvili tied for the team lead in boards Monday. The Lakers have a massive void to fill in their starting lineup following the departure of LeBron James, but Mamukelashvili may have to settle for a reserve role behind Jake LaRavia to begin the year. Mamukelashvili averaged a career-high 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game during the 2025-26 regular season for Toronto. ... See More ...

Mamukelashvili delivered an impressive all-around performance without committing a turnover, continuing a productive offseason ahead of his first campaign with the Lakers . The 27-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists during the regular season for Toronto before signing with Los Angeles in July. Walker Kessler is projected to handle most of the minutes at center, but Mamukelashvili's shooting and playmaking offer a different skill set and could earn him minutes at both frontcourt spots. ...

Grimes is an athletic, aggressive guard capable of applying pressure at the point of attack, while his physicality and activity should give Los Angeles another option against opposing perimeter scorers. Grimes' willingness to attack offensively also adds another dimension beyond his spot-up shooting, though his overall impact could depend heavily on the makeup of the starting five. ... See More ...
