Overview
- The team finalized the addition of guard Jarron Cumberland and made a corresponding cut by waiving forward Arthur Kaluma, per multiple reports citing Dan Woike.
- Contract terms were not disclosed, but reporting indicates an Exhibit 10 deal that would allow a South Bay Lakers assignment if he is waived and a potential bonus of up to $85.3K after 60 days in the G League.
- An open two-way roster spot gives Cumberland a clear target in camp as the Lakers evaluate depth options for the 2025–26 season.
- Cumberland went undrafted in 2021, previously signed a 10-day with Portland, and is coming off a strong G League year with Delaware that included 19.6 points per game and 46.1% three-point shooting.
- Head coach JJ Redick said he has not settled on a starting lineup, emphasizing flexibility and preseason evaluation over premature decisions.
