While Anthony Davis should still be the Lakers' primary center this season, the team has three players to relieve him: Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood And Christian Koloko.
Except that according to Shams Charaniafrom ESPN, the franchise is still looking for reinforcement at the position.
For what ? Because Christian Wood still had to have surgery on his left knee, and his state of health is obviously worrying, while Christian Koloko is returning from a major scare due to blood clots which jeopardized his career. And as of yet, he has not yet been cleared to play by league doctors.
In these conditions, Los Angeles could thus begin the regular season with a single pivot capable of taking over from Anthony Davis under the circle, known for his side for his repeated little physical glitches…
We therefore understand that the Lakers are evaluating their options to find better guarantees. The problem is that they seem particularly limited. During free agency, the club was interested in Jonas Valanciunas but the latter ultimately signed with the Wizards, for $30.3 million over three years.
