The Los Angeles Lakers Friday requested waivers on Joel Ayayi, Chaundee Brown, Trevelin Queen and Cam Oliver.
Out of the four, Ayayi is the biggest name since he previously occupied a two-way spot on the roster. Now the Lakers will need to replace his opening.
Brown, Queen and Oliver were all training camp players, so their releases were expected. Mac McClung and Frank Mason III are two other players who were on Exhibit 10 deals who got cut.
Head coach Frank Vogel said earlier in the preseason Brown was making a case for a two-way spot. Brown showed more than Ayayi, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens with the final spot.
L.A. recently inked Sekou Doumbouya to the other two-way opening.
