Lakers Sign Jordan Goodwin to Training Camp Deal

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent guard Jordan Goodwin to an Exhibit 10 contract, allowing him to compete for a roster spot during training camp. Goodwin, 25, had a mixed performance in the previous season, averaging 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 57 games with the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies, though his shooting efficiency declined significantly. The Lakers currently have a full roster, with 15 guaranteed contracts and three two-way players, which means Goodwin will need to impress to secure a spot. His defensive skills may be valuable, especially if rookie Bronny James isn't ready for a significant role at the start of the season. Goodwin's career averages stand at 6.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists over 121 games. Alongside Goodwin, the Lakers have also signed Kylor Kelly and Quincy Olivari as part of their training camp roster.
