Overview

  • Los Angeles announced the additions of forward Anton Watson and guard Jeenathan “Nate” Williams to its training camp roster on Saturday.
  • Tevian Jones and Eric Dixon were waived in corresponding moves as the team finalizes its camp group before Monday’s opening.
  • Both Watson and Williams are expected to participate in camp, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
  • The contracts were not disclosed but are widely presumed to be Exhibit 10 deals that can be converted to two-way agreements or routed to South Bay with bonuses.
  • The Lakers have a full 15-man roster and two two-way spots filled (Christian Koloko, Chris Mañon), leaving one two-way opening that Watson or Williams could compete for.
