Overview

  • The team announced the signing, with multiple outlets reporting it is an Exhibit 10–type training-camp contract.
  • Kelley excelled with South Bay last season, averaging 11.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks and earning NBA G League All-Defensive honors.
  • He appeared in 11 NBA games with the Pelicans and Mavericks, posting a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first start for Dallas on Feb. 2.
  • Los Angeles is at the 21-player camp limit and currently has one standard roster spot and one two-way slot open.
  • Operating under a hard cap after using exceptions, the Lakers are leaning on non-guaranteed camp deals that can funnel players to South Bay if waived.
