CHICAGO — The Lakers are converting Jordan Goodwin to a standard NBA contract after the two-way guard cemented himself in the team’s rotation.
To create the roster spot for Goodwin, the Lakers will waive sixth-year wing Cam Reddish.
ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported that the Lakers are signing Goodwin to a two-year contract with a player option for the 2025-26 season, making Goodwin eligible for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs.
The Lakers’ Wednesday road win over the Indiana Pacers was the final game Goodwin was eligible for as part of his two-way contract.
Goodwin, 26, has become a key rotation player for the Lakers since signing a two-way deal with the franchise on Feb. 7.
He’s averaged 6.4 points (47% shooting, 41% on 3-pointers), 3.9 rebounds (1.5 offensive rebounds) and 1.4 assists in 19 games with the Lakers.
