• Lakers' Alex Len: Nears double-double in defeat

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Len logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Bucks. Len stepped into the rotation after recording a DNP via coach's decision in each of the club's last three outings. The big man nearly recorded a double-double and was efficient in the blowout loss. However, Len is unlikely to stick around in the rotation whenever Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) return.

• Lakers' Alex Len: Retreats to bench

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Len won't start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. With Jaxson Hayes (knee) sidelined, Len drew three straight starts but failed to make an impact, totaling four points, 10 rebounds and four assists in 44 minutes. Len wasn't part of the regular rotation before Hayes' injury, but the former should have a role Sunday, as Trey Jemison (illness) is sidelined.

• Lakers' Alex Len: Fails to score in start

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Len closed with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 13 minutes during Monday's 111-108 loss to the Nets. Len moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jaxson Hayes, who was ruled out with a knee injury. Despite the promotion, Len offered very little in terms of tangible production, failing to score for the fourth consecutive game. Having suited up only twice in the past eight games, Len's role appears to be on a knife's edge, typically resulting in very little playing time, if any.

• Lakers' Alex Len: Starting sans Hayes

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Len will start in Monday's game against Brooklyn, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. The veteran big man will supplant Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting five due to Jaxson Hayes (knee) being sidelined. Vanderbilt drew the start at center during Saturday's loss to Boston, though Len will join the first unit against the Nets after receiving a DNP via coach's decision in each of the Lakers' last two outings.

• Lakers' Alex Len: Enters rotation in win

  02/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  Len supplied one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets. Len was back in the rotation, albeit for a short stint during garbage time. After playing 22 minutes in his first appearance for the Lakers, Len has since faded into obscurity. At this point, it appears he will only be used in emergencies or when an opponent requires the Lakers to deploy size in their rotation.
