The Los Angeles Lakers are signing seven-foot Alex Len to the team after the Lakers' failed trade for center Mark Williams, ESPN's Shams Charania reported. Len originally was going to sign with the Indiana Pacers before the Lakers showed interest.
Williams was traded to the Lakers from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for rookie forward Dalton Knecht, forward Cam Reddish and future draft capital before last week's trade deadline, but the deal was rescinded due to "failure to satisfy a condition of the trade." It was later found out that Williams failed his physical because of "multiple issues."
