Lawson Lovering Waived by Los Angeles Lakers to Open Two-Way Spot

Center Lawson Lovering has been waived by the Los Angeles Lakers, opening up a two-way roster spot. Lovering, who originally signed a two-way contract with the team on Oct. 28, was released as the Lakers restructured their frontcourt depth behind Walker Kessler and backup Kevon Looney. The roster move coincided with Los Angeles signing 22-year-old rookie big man Carson Cooper to fill the vacant two-way contract slot.
