With their wing depth being destroyed by injuries, the Los Angeles Lakers were forced to add a couple of players on 10-day contracts who could help fill the void. One of those was Derrick Williams who had most recently played for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season.
A former second overall draft pick back in 2011, Williams was brought in as another veteran voice while also providing a much-needed wing option. He saw very little time on his contract, however, and now his time with the Lakers is done.
According to Bill Oram of the OC Register, Williams’ 10-day contract expired on Sunday and the Lakers have chosen not to re-sign him:
Derrick Williams 10-day contract with the Lakers expired Sunday and was not renewed.
