The Los Angeles Lakers have only 10 days until the regular season begins. From now until then, they will be evaluating the players on the training camp roster, seeing which they want to keep on the 17-man roster for the regular season, and which will be waived.
We saw their first wave of player movement today. The Lakers cut their training camp roster down to 18 players this afternoon.
The Lakers announced that they have waived forward V.J. Beachem and center Stephen Zimmerman.
The Lakers announced the decision on their official Twitter account.
Beachem and Zimmerman both played sparingly this preseason.
