Lakers will waive Dylan Windler to sign Harry Giles III

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to suffer from a string of injuries to key players. As of now, guard Gabe Vincent, forward Jarred Vanderbilt and big men Christian Wood and Colin Castleton are out with various ailments.

It has left the team somewhat thin up front at the forward and center positions. Vincent and Vanderbilt are arguably its two best perimeter defenders, while Wood is second on the team in rebounds per 36 minutes.

This week, forward Cam Reddish, who had been out for about a month with a sprained ankle, made his return, which has helped L.A.’s depth a bit. Perhaps as a result, it will waive Dylan Windler in order to make room for big man Harry Giles III, whom it is signing to a two-way contract.

Windler joined the Lakers on a two-way contract in early January. He appeared in eight games for them, playing a total of 28 minutes and making 4-of-8 shots from 3-point range.
