The Lakers have waived center Kylor Kelley, according to the NBA’s official transaction log.
Kelley signed an Exhibit 10 contract in August and has previous experience with the Lakers, as he was signed and waived by Los Angeles heading into the 2024/25 season as well, then spent much of the year with the Lakers’ G League affiliate.
Kelley has appeared in 11 NBA games, eight with the Mavericks and three with the Pelicans. He holds career averages of 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game.
Kelley averaged 11.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game for the South Bay Lakers last season. He will now be eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he reports back to the G League and stays in South Bay for at least 60 days.
