Lakers Waive Cam Reddish, Convert Jordan Goodwin Ahead of Playoffs

The Los Angeles Lakers ended their three-game losing streak with a buzzer-beater win against the Indiana Pacers, while also making significant roster changes ahead of the playoffs. The team has converted Jordan Goodwin's two-way contract to a standard NBA contract, making him eligible for postseason play, which necessitated waiving guard Cam Reddish. Goodwin, who has performed well off the bench, averaged 6.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in his 19 games with the Lakers, while Reddish struggled, averaging only 3.2 points in 33 games this season. Reddish, a former lottery pick, had trouble finding stability in the league and now seeks a new opportunity. The Lakers are looking to solidify their roster as they continue their road trip and aim for a successful playoff run.
