Lakers Sign Anton Watson and Nate Williams, Waive Tevian Jones and Eric Dixon

The moves add camp depth as Los Angeles evaluates contenders for its open two-way slot before preseason.

Overview

  • The team announced the additions of Watson and Williams, who are expected to participate in training camp, per ESPN's Dave McMenamin.
  • Tevian Jones and Eric Dixon were waived to create roster space for the new signings, according to The Athletic's Law Murray.
  • Contract terms were not disclosed, with multiple outlets reporting the deals are likely Exhibit 10 agreements that could route the players to South Bay with associated bonuses.
  • Watson played nine games for the Knicks last season after a G League stint in Maine, where he averaged roughly 12 points, five rebounds and two assists.
  • Williams appeared in 20 games for the Rockets last season before a July waiver, and Los Angeles enters camp with one two-way spot available as preseason begins next week.
