The Los Angeles Lakers are examining the marketplace to add a center to their roster, sources tell ESPN’s Shams Charania on NBA Today.
The Lakers have Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood and Christian Koloko on their depth chart at center behind Anthony Davis. Wood recently underwent surgery on his left knee. Hayes has reportedly been impressive in camp with the Lakers.
The Lakers have a pair of future first round picks they can use to upgrade center if a potential center becomes available via trade.
The Lakers previously had interest in Jonas Valanciunas in free agency. Valanciunas instead signed with the Washington Wizards.
