The Los Angeles Lakers had until Monday at 5 p.m. EST to cut down their roster to get to the league maximum of 15 standard contracts, and they finally made their decision in waiving third-year guard Dalton Knecht, as per Shams Charania of ESPN. Knecht had fallen out of head coach JJ Redick’s rotation after a hot start to his rookie year, and he played sparingly during the preseason. He was noticeably absent during Lakers’ practice on Monday afternoon, which Redick had explained as being excused due to him feeling under the weather. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
