The Los Angeles Lakers have signed center Lawson Lovering to a two-way contract, according to Yahoo Sports, a move aimed at shoring up a frontcourt that has shown cracks behind starting center Walker Kessler.

The signing addresses growing concerns about the team's depth at the center position, a weakness that has become increasingly apparent as the season progresses, per the report.

Two-way deals allow players to split time between the NBA roster and the G League, giving the Lakers added flexibility to manage minutes and development while bolstering their big man rotation.
