Lakers signing Tristan Thompson, Shaquille Harrison, sources say

LOS ANGELES -- The Lakers are signing two players -- including LeBron James' former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Tristan Thompson -- on the final day of the regular season to add depth for the playoffs, sources told ESPN on Sunday.

Thompson joins the Lakers having last played in 2021-22 for the Chicago Bulls, where he averaged 5.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in 23 games. He was a vital cog for the Cavaliers' four straight trips to the NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018.

The Lakers are also signing Shaquille Harrison, a defensive-minded point guard.
