Lakers waive Kylor Kelley ahead of training camp

The Lakers made a minor roster move ahead of camp, waiving center Kylor Kelley, per the NBA’s official transaction log.

Kelley had joined Los Angeles on an Exhibit 10 deal in August and is no stranger to the organization — he signed a similar contract last fall, was waived before the season, then spent most of the year with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.

The 7-footer has appeared in 11 NBA games overall, split between the Mavericks (8) and Pelicans (3), averaging 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in limited minutes.

In South Bay last season, he put up 11.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, showcasing the rim protection that keeps him on NBA radars.

If Kelley returns to South Bay and spends at least 60 days with the team, he’ll be eligible for a bonus of up to $85,300.
