The Los Angeles Lakers have waived former Boston Celtics two-way player Anton Watson, according to a team announcement (via Trevor Lane of Lakers Nation). LA also waived RJ Davis, Augustas Maru010diulionis, and Nate Williams in the series of roster moves. The moves likely pave the way for all four players to join the Lakers’ G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers.
Boston drafted Watson with the No. 54 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, subsequently inking him to a two-way contract. However, the Celtics waived him around the trade deadline, and he went on to join the New York Knicks.
