Lakers expected to waive Cam Reddish, Alex Len

Len, who joined the Lakers mid-season, appeared in eight games and made three starts. Reddish, who has been with the team since the previous season, saw his role diminish this year with the emergence of rookie Dalton Knecht.

While the move is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Lakers’ on-court performance, it will free up two contract spots. They are now expected to either convert one or two of their two-way players or explore options in free agency to fill the roster spots.

The Lakers are set to end their five-game homestand on a high note Saturday night, hosting the Bulls in a matchup between two of the most storied franchises. While the days of Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose are a distant memory, the Bulls remain a team with a lasting impact on the league.

For the Lakers, Saturday’s game comes after a tough loss to the Bucks on Thursday, as the team continues to navigate a series of injuries. The decision to waive Len and Reddish is part of their ongoing effort to solidify their roster moving forward.
