Help Arrives for Luka Doncic as Lakers Sign Tevian Jones to Boost Roster Depth

The Los Angeles Lakers have made a roster adjustment aimed at boosting depth and giving Luka Doncic some much-needed rest during the season. The team waived guard Jarron Cumberland to make room for Tevian Jones, as reported by Lakers insider Trevor Lane. In his announcement, he noted, “Lakers announce they have signed guard Tevian Jones. In a related move, the team has waived guard Jarron Cumberland.”

While the terms of his deal weren’t disclosed, it’s expected to be an Exhibit 10 contract, similar to Cumberland’s brief stint. With Jones joining the Lakers, the team adds another wing option who can share minutes with Doncic, providing flexibility and giving the Lakers more options on the perimeter without overburdening its core rotation.
