Los Angeles Lakers Waive Former Hornets And Magic Guard

The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing for the 2022-23 NBA season and they have begun to dwindle down their roster size.

On Saturday, the team announced that they had waived Dwayne Bacon, who signed a training camp deal with the team just over a week ago.

In addition to waiving Bacon, Los Angeles also waived Javante McCoy and signed both LJ Figueroa and Shaquille Harrison.

Bacon, 27, was originally drafted 40th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Pelicans and he began his career with the Charlotte Hornets, spending the first three seasons of his career in Charlotte.
