With the playoffs fast approaching and the Lakers dealing with key injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, they will be opening up a roster spot by reportedly waiving Kobe Bufkin.
Shams Charnia of ESPN was the first to report the move.
Los Angeles signed Kobe Bufkin to a two-year deal this season, but he has seen limited action for the Lakers.
The
Lakers have just two games left in their NBA season, but will be playing in the playoffs and need as many playable players as possible. They can only sign players who were free agents as of March 1, so the player pool they can add to be part of a playoff run is limited.
However, if they are waiving Bufkin, they clearly have someone in mind.
