Lakers' Alex Len: Nears double-double in defeat
Alex 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: Fails to score in start
Alex 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: Set to sign with Lakers
Shams Charania of ESPN reported Tuesday that Alex Len will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.Len signed a one-year, $3.31 million deal with the Kings in July of 2024, but he played only 7.2 minutes per game while serving in a rotational role at center. He was traded by Sacramento last Thursday to Washington and was subsequently waived. Earlier reports indicated that he would ink a deal with the Pacers for the rest of the season, but Len will instead head to Los Angeles to play alongside LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. With the Lakers' trade for Mark Williams being rescinded Saturday, Len should see some meaningful minutes off the bench as the backup center behind Jaxson Hayes.

Alex Len: Won't sign with Indiana
The Pacers will not sign Alex Len to a deal, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.Len was expected to sign a one-year pact with the Pacers upon clearing waivers; however, he will remain a free agent for the time being. The big man was traded from the Kings to the Wizards before having been waived by Washington on Saturday. The 31-year-old is a candidate to latch on with a team lacking depth in the frontcourt.

Alex Len: Will be waived, sign with Pacers
The Wizards are expected to waive Alex Len on Saturday, and the center is expected to sign a one-year deal with Indiana upon clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Washington acquired Len on Thursday in a three-team deal involving the Kings and Grizzlies, but the Wizards never had any plans of keeping the journeyman center in the fold. Assuming Len clears waivers, he'll add depth to a Pacers frontcourt that includes Myles Turner (neck) and Thomas Bryant. Len didn't see much playing time in Sacramento prior to being traded, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 boards in 7.2 minutes per game over 36 appearances. Since he'll likely be behind both Turner on Bryant on the center depth chart in Indiana, Len will presumably find himself outside of the rotation in most games.
