Overview

• Jordan Goodwin, an undrafted guard, has earned a standard NBA contract after strong performances and improved shooting, including 41% from 3-point range.
• The Lakers waived Cam Reddish, who was on an expiring $2.4 million contract, to create the necessary roster space for Goodwin.
• Goodwin has averaged 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 20.5 minutes per game since joining the Lakers in February 2025.
• Head coach JJ Redick and his staff advocated for Goodwin's inclusion on the roster, citing his defensive abilities and recent shooting improvements.
• Reddish's departure follows a rescinded trade earlier in the season, as the Lakers prioritize roster efficiency heading into the postseason.
