Free agent center Alex Len has signed a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, the team announced Tuesday.
Initially set to join the Indiana Pacers, the 7-footer pivoted to the Lakers after they rescinded their trade for Mark Williams, creating an opening at the position. To make room for Len, the Lakers waived Christian Wood, who has yet to play this season due to ongoing rehab from offseason knee surgery.
Len, 31, adds much-needed depth to the Lakers’ frontcourt alongside Jaxson Hayes. He was recently traded to the Washington Wizards from the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal that sent Marcus Smart to the Wizards.

This season, Len appeared in 36 games for the Kings, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game. Now in his 12th NBA season, he holds career averages of 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 17.1 minutes per game.
