Cam Reddish Reportedly Waived by Lakers, Jordan Goodwin Gets Standard NBA Contract

The Los Angeles Lakers are signing guard Jordan Goodwin to a standard NBA contract, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

Charania reported the Lakers are waiving wing Cam Reddish to free up a roster spot for Goodwin.

Reddish only appeared in 33 games for Los Angeles, averaging 3.2 points and 2.0 rebounds. Since the start of February, he has seen the court twice.

L.A. included the 2019 first-round pick in the trade for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams, which fell apart because of something in Williams' physical. Unlike Dalton Knecht, who was cycled back into the rotation, Reddish has been frozen out.

Goodwin, meanwhile, has capitalized on his opportunity after signing a two-way deal with the Lakers on Feb. 7. He has put up 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest.

Following a 107-96 victory over the Phoenix Suns on March 16, head coach JJ Redick went out of his way to praise the 26-year-old.

It remains to be seen how much Goodwin will help the team in the playoffs. Postseason lineups can be tough to forecast because of how much coaching staffs have to change their approach.

At the very least, Goodwin's presence will be beneficial toward the Lakers maintaining a top-six position in the Western Conference.
