Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said that the team was looking to fill its 14th guaranteed spot on the roster before training camp started this week, and on Sunday, they did just that. It just so happened to be with a player that was already joining them in camp anyway: Undrafted rookie Austin Reaves, who will be converted from a two-way contract player to the regular roster.
Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news:
Second year on Austin Reaves’ deal will be a team option, sources said.
