ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers signed Nick Smith Jr. to a two-year deal.

Sunday’s transaction ensures that Smith will be available for the playoffs, a needed move since the Lakers are unlikely to have Luka Dončić (hamstring) or Austin Reaves (oblique) for the first round. The 27th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Smith has played between 11 and 13 minutes in each of the Lakers’ last three games, so this signing will not significantly affect the rotation.
