Lakers News: In order to accommodate Harry Giles’ signing, LA makes an unexpected roster cut.

Harry Giles, a power forward and freshly signed two-way center who previously played for the Brooklyn Nets this season, will be joining your Los Angeles Lakers in an unexpected move to take up one of their two-way positions. Los Angeles has chosen to move on from a different two-way deal rather than trade rookie two-way center Colin Castleton, who suffered a fracture to his right wrist last week, according to sources who speak with ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

The Lakers will cut swingman Dylan Windler, a more experienced two-way signee who has similar injury concerns as Giles and has already spent four seasons on the team. During his two-way contract, Windler played in just eight games with Los Angeles, averaging 1.5 points on 44.1% shooting from the field and 50% from three-point range along with 0.8 assists. Giles will formally join the Lakers on Monday, according to McMenamin. Due to injuries to Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Castleton in the near future, Giles has a good chance of seeing some legitimate playing time for the Lakers as they continue to push for the playoffs, even if it won’t be much. After winning two in a row, LA has been playing a little better lately.

Despite this, they are just the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 33-28 record, and their defense has suffered greatly as a result of long-term injuries to Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish (the latter of whom recently returned after a month-long absence).
