The Lakers are continuing to make moves on the margin while trying to find a potential center solution. After signing Lawson Lovering to a two-way deal roughly two weeks ago, the Lakers are waiving the big man in place of…another…

The Los Angeles Lakers have waived center Lawson Lovering and signed center Carson Cooper to a two-way deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The move comes roughly two weeks after the Lakers initially signed Lovering, as the front office continues to test roster solutions at the center position.
Cooper, a 6-foot-10 rookie out of Michigan State, went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft before briefly joining the Memphis Grizzlies on a two-way contract. Lovering departs after making brief appearances strictly in garbage time for the parent club.
