Lawson Lovering Waived by Lakers to Clear Roster Spot for Carson Cooper

The Los Angeles Lakers have officially waived two-way center Lawson Lovering after brief garbage-time appearances with the parent team. The 7-foot center signed a two-way contract roughly two weeks ago but did not log G League minutes for Coachella Valley. Lovering previously averaged 7.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in two NBA appearances with the Memphis Grizzlies during the previous regular season.
