79 NBA Players Newly Eligible To Be Traded

December 15th, 2025 at 7:04am CST by Luke Adams

Today is December 15, which means that – by our count – 79 NBA players who signed as free agents this offseason have officially become eligible to be traded.

The list of newly trade-eligible players, which can be found right here, features a number of guys who almost certainly aren’t going anywhere this season, like Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.

However, it also includes some players whose names have already popped up in trade speculation in the months since they were signed. The most obvious name in that group is Clippers point guard Chris Paul, who has unofficially parted ways with the team but remains on the roster for the time being. Paul is now eligible to be dealt.

Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Myles Turner, Julius Randle, Fred VanVleet are among the other biggest names who are newly trade-eligible as of Monday.

Fourteen of the players on the list, including Lillard, Harden, and VanVleet, can’t be moved without their consent, since they have the ability to veto trades this season. The Rockets, Clippers, and Bucks are each carrying multiple players who fit that bill.

Six newly trade-eligible players are still on non-guaranteed contracts, including a pair of Spurs. If one of those players is included in a trade prior to the league-wide salary guarantee date of January 10, only the non-guaranteed portion of his salary would count for matching purposes for the team trading him away (the team acquiring him would still have to account for the player’s full cap hit).

Finally, it’s worth noting that there are still a number of recently signed players around the NBA who remain ineligible to be dealt. Many will become trade-eligible on January 15, while others will see their trade restrictions lift on unique dates.

Typically, teams wait until closer to the trade deadline (February 5) to make their moves rather than striking deals as soon as trade season unofficially opens on December 15, so we should count on most of the in-season trade activity occurring in January and February.

Still, it’s worth noting that a pair of trades were officially finalized on December 15 last season, so it wouldn’t come as a major surprise if two or more teams come together for a deal sooner rather than later.

A player who is traded on or before December 16 can be “re-aggregated” (ie. have his salary combined with another player’s salary for matching purposes) in a second deal prior to the trade deadline. The Warriors did this with Dennis Schröder last season, acquiring him from Brooklyn on December 15, then sending him to Detroit in the five-time Jimmy Butler blockbuster at the deadline.

Wizards Notes: Sarr, Carrington, Whitmore, Zone

December 14th, 2025 at 10:00pm CST by Eli Cohen

Wizards head coach Brian Keefe provided an update on Alex Sarr‘s recovery from the adductor injury that has kept him sidelined for the last six games, telling reporters on Sunday that the big man has not progressed to doing on-court work during practice, per Varun Shankar of The Washington Post (Twitter link).

As Shankar notes (via Twitter), Keefe previously referred to Sarr’s injury as a minor one, but these kinds of soft-tissue ailments can be hard to pin down and the Wizards are being cautious with the recovery process for one of their core players. The French big man is still making progress toward a return, Shankar adds.

Sarr has been one of the bright spots for the 4-20 Wizards this season, showing major growth in nearly every statistical category and leading the team in points (19.1), rebounds (8.6), and blocks (2.0) per game, while ranking third in steals (0.8) and fifth in assists (3.3).

We have more notes from the Wizards:

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle praised guard Bub Carrington before the Wizards beat Indiana on Sunday, according to Shankar (Twitter link). “He’s a terrific young player. He’s had a lot of good games against us,” Carlisle said. “He’s skilled, he’s big, he’s versatile, he can play different positions. I think he’s a good defender, his shooting is the real deal.” When Shankar proposed Derrick White as a potential high-end comparison for Carrington as two guards who don’t get to the rim much but shoot and defend well, Carlisle responded that he agreed with the assessment (Twitter link). Carrington has struggled to find his role this season after starting 57 games for Washington last year, but he has played well in his last three games, all starts, averaging 17.3 points and 7.3 assists per night.
Cam Whitmore has missed the last three games due to coach’s decision. Keefe initially said the reason for his sitting was for failing to meet team standards, though he later walked that back and said that it was more a matter of giving other players a chance. Keefe echoed that sentiment when asked once again about it following the team’s 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers. “[Cam is] gonna be back in here in the mix at some point, it always works out this way,” he said, per Shankar (via Twitter). We’re seeing different guys — Will Riley, Jamir [Watkins] — those guys stepped up and have been playing well. Just looking at those combinations, nothing more than that.” Riley scored 12 points in 23 minutes in Sunday’s victory over the Pacers.
Keefe has been experimenting with using a zone in an effort to boost the team’s 30th-ranked defense. It was very effective on Sunday, as Indiana scored just 89 points against Washington — it was the first time this season that the Wizards had allowed fewer than 107 points in a game. “We did that a little bit the last game. Been working on it in practice last week,” Keefe said of the zone, per Shankar (via Twitter). “Wanted to mix up our coverages, some different things to see how they would handle it. Thought our guys did a good job and it helped change the rhythm of the game for us.“

Stein’s Latest: Antetokounmpo, Lakers, Porzingis, Johnson, Spencer

December 14th, 2025 at 8:05pm CST by Eli Cohen

Not much has changed on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade front, Marc Stein writes in his latest article for the Stein Line (Substack link). However, according to Stein, there have been some indications which teams would – and wouldn’t – become players for Antetokounmpo should the Bucks, who lost by 45 points to the Nets on Sunday, make him available.

Teams are waiting for signals from the Bucks that they are open for business, but those signals have yet to come, according to Stein, who hears there have actually been whispers that Milwaukee will actually go the opposite way and look to reinforce the roster around its superstar forward.

If Antetokounmpo does end up on the trade block, some of the teams best positioned to pursue him may not enter the mix. Stein suggests there’s a “growing belief” that the Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder are happy with their current cores and won’t be looking to break them up to try to land the two-time MVP.

We have more from Stein:

The Lakers‘ loss to the Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs in the NBA Cup quarterfinals helped emphasize L.A.’s dire need for perimeter on-ball defenders, Stein writes. “I think being able to contain the basketball is probably the most difficult thing for our team right now,” Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after that game. According to Stein’s sources, the Lakers are hoping to target three-and-D players at the trade deadline, but the player pool – beyond Kings guard Keon Ellis – is relatively limited for now. Stein also notes that Los Angeles’ preferences in any deal would be to bring in a player on a similar age timeline as Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, who are 26 and 27, respectively.
Any major moves made by the Hawks during this trade deadline are expected to include Kristaps Porzingis‘ $30.7MM expiring deal, Stein reports. However, he notes the recent announcement that Porzingis would miss the next two weeks due to an unspecified illness could complicate a potential deal, given the similar health problems that limited the Latvian big man during the 2025 playoffs.
Jalen Johnson is expected to be off-limits in any trade talks for the Hawks. Johnson posted his fourth-straight triple-double on Sunday night, which Stein notes (via Twitter) ties Nikola Jokic for the longest streak this season. Johnson has been instrumental in keeping Atlanta competitive with Trae Young having been limited to just five games this season due to a knee injury. The Hawks have posted a 12-9 record without Young, and Johnson has averaged 23.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game in that span.
Warriors guard Pat Spencer is viewed as a near lock to have his two-way contract converted to a guaranteed deal, Stein writes. Entering Sunday, Spencer has been active for all 26 Golden State games, meaning he’s over halfway to his 50-game limit. The third-year guard is posting career-highs across the board, averaging 7.7 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game on .457/.424/.900 shooting splits. The Warriors currently have a full 15-man roster and are only operating about $264K below their hard cap, so they’ll need to make another move before they’re able to convert Spencer.

Knicks Notes: Brunson, Brown, Kolek, NBA Cup Final

December 14th, 2025 at 7:01pm CST by Eli Cohen

In a league whose teams are increasingly seeking ball-handlers with size, Jalen Brunson‘s scoring mastery makes him something of a modern-day unicorn for the Knicks, writes James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

“He’s got good pace, and he’s really smart. He doesn’t really get too bored with the game,” said Magic guard Jalen Suggs. “He doesn’t get too bored keeping it simple. He challenges you every possession. He’s one of the best players in our league. I love the fact that we get to play him four times a year. I’ve gotten better from our battles.”

Only seven players are currently averaging more points per game than Brunson, and of those seven, Edwards says, only two do so at a similar height: Donovan Mitchell and Tyrese Maxey, both of whom possess athletic gifts that Brunson cannot replicate. That’s why Edwards refers to Brunson as, “pound for pound,” the best scorer in the NBA.

Despite Brunson’s All-NBA level play in recent years, skeptics continue to question whether a guard of his size can lead a team to a championship. As Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the Knicks star is beginning to win over some of those doubters.

“No one thought that a team shooting a lot of threes could win a title until Golden State did it,” said Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade. “Charles [Barkley] is always talking about, ‘You can’t win shooting threes.’ So obviously anything is possible. Is it hard? Yes. It’s really, really hard. So that just means for Jalen to be as great as he needs to be, that means everybody else around him needs to get better. … But it is yet to be seen. We’ve got to see it, too.”

We have more from the Knicks:

This year’s version of the Knicks has proven more resilient than in previous seasons, and much of that is due to new head coach Mike Brown, opines Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. Brown’s insistence on playing with pace has made New York’s offense less predictable, and his emphasis on hitting first in terms of physicality has made the team’s defense less toothless than last season. “I think our physicality is extremely better,” Josh Hart said. “When you’re able to be physical on the perimeter, you’re able to throw teams off what they do and now your defense is more impactful. You can be in passing lanes and do those kinds of things, protect shots at the rim. So I think our physicality is something that’s driving that, and that’s something we have to do.” Winfield notes that between those changes and getting Karl-Anthony Towns to play his best on defense, Brown may be laying the groundwork for a third Coach of the Year campaign.
Miles McBride‘s ankle injury has given Tyler Kolek an opportunity to prove that he can be the backup point guard the Knicks need, and Saturday’s win against the Magic was a step in the right direction, Bondy and Jared Schwartz write for the New York Post. Kolek was a team-best plus-17 in his minutes and was on the court for a crucial part of the game at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth, as the Knicks took control. “Tyler did a fantastic job today, our young fella, of impacting winning,” Towns said after the victory. “He did that on a big stage tonight. I think one of his finest games as an NBA player was tonight, and may not show up on the stats sheet, but everybody in our locker room knows how important he was to us tonight.”
The Knicks are trying to prove that they belong among the NBA’s true contenders, and Tuesday’s matchup against the Spurs in the NBA Cup championship will be a key battleground for them to do so, writes Steve Popper for Newsday. The Spurs knocked off the league-best Thunder in their semifinal matchup and have managed to hold onto the fourth-best record in the Western Conference despite battling injuries and having a core group of players that skew very young. Popper suggests that a disappointing performance could give the Knicks an indication heading into trade season that some adjustments to the roster might be needed to secure a spot in the NBA’s upper echelon of contenders.

Magic Notes: Banchero, M. Wagner, NBA Cup Semifinal, Lessons

December 14th, 2025 at 5:01pm CST by Eli Cohen

Paolo Banchero has not played up to his usual standards for the Magic in the four games since his return from a left groin strain, but he’s encouraged by his game-by-game progress, according to the Orlando Sentinel’s Jason Beede (Twitter video link).

“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling better every game. Not really thinking as much in terms of like thinking about the injury.” Banchero said. “… I’ve been feeling better and better every game. Hopefully, I can continue to find my spots out there and continue to play within the team.”

The 2024 All-Star has averaged 17.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per night since returning to play, well below his career rates of 22.2 PPG and 7.1 RPG. He was quiet in the first half of the team’s NBA Cup semifinal loss to the Knicks, but was able to turn things around in the second half and finished the game with 25 points and eight rebounds.

“I think I started a little slow. Started to get involved more as the game went on,” Banchero said. “But 0-for-7 from three, obviously, I’m not happy about that. I feel like I got to the rim pretty well. I want to get to the line a little more. [A] little loose with the ball at times.”

We have more from the Magic:

Moritz Wagner has been working diligently in his rehab from the ACL he tore one year ago, but his return will have to wait at least a little longer. According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley has ruled out Wagner for the team’s upcoming four-game road trip (Twitter link). The veteran center recently expressed optimism that he would be making his return sooner rather than later.
Mosley appreciated his team’s fight in the NBA Cup, Beede writes. “We fought. We battled,” Mosley said. “That’s what this team is going to continue to do… We missed a couple timely shots, a couple rebounds here and there for second-chance opportunities. Again, those are the details of the game we’re going to have to continue to look at. Give New York a ton of credit for how they came out and played as well.” The Magic were able to outscore the Knicks on second-chance points in Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal, Beede notes, but converted those looks less efficiently, leaving potential points on the board. Meanwhile, the Knicks were able to score at will more often than a defensive-minded team like Orlando would prefer. “They were too comfortable,” Desmond Bane said. “We had a stretch there in the third quarter where I felt like we picked up our defensive intensity and were able to get into the ball and make it uncomfortable for them. But most of the night, just about everybody on the team was getting to the spots that they wanted to get to with little resistance from us.”
The Magic are using the loss to the Knicks as a learning experience to better prepare themselves for important games later in the season and in the postseason, Robbins writes. “I definitely think it’s motivating,” Banchero said. “I’m sure everybody wishes we played better on a stage like this against a good team that we could see later on in the season. [This] just shows us what we need to work on and how we can be better later on for the springtime.” Robbins points to both the Pacers and Thunder losing in the NBA Cup knockout round and using the experience as a launching pad for deep playoff runs. “We need these moments,” Bane said. “We need these games where we’re playing in meaningful games and have to go through some adversity. I think it will help prepare us for our next challenges.”

Heat Notes: Losing Streak, Threes, Herro, Wiggins, Jovic

December 14th, 2025 at 4:01pm CST by Rory Maher

The Heat were grateful to have an extended break after losing their fourth straight game on Tuesday, writes Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel. Miami has spent the past three days practicing after taking a couple of rest days in the middle of the week.

“Look, we don’t like losing,” head coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We have a very competitive group in the locker room. We’re just focused on getting better, not getting caught up in all the panic and narratives that potentially can be out there, just have to rally around each other.

“Look, it’s a competitive league. There’s so much parity right now. You have to play well and then you have to find different ways to win games. There’s going to be a lot of teams that are going through what we’re going through right now. You can’t panic for all the noise. You just have to focus on, ‘How do we get better?’”

As Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald notes, the Heat had gotten pretty lucky during their 14-7 start to the season, as opponents were converting three-pointers at a much worse rate than expected, while the Heat were one of the top outside shooting teams in the league. Both of those trends have reversed during their recent stretch of poor play.

“They’re doing a great job of scouting how we play our offense,” guard Norman Powell said. “They’re up higher. They’re two, three steps up above the three. They’re denying passing lanes. They’re trying to make us play one in the half court and then two inside the line.

“So we’ve just got to be better collectively, really working the offense like we were at the beginning of the season. We’re all on everybody’s scouting report in how we want to play, the pace, and trying to slow us down. So individually, we can all be better in how we navigate the offense, attack, kickouts, not taking so many tough two-pointers once we get into the paint.”

Here’s more on the Heat:

Spoelstra strongly pushed back on the notion that having Tyler Herro back has disrupted the team’s offensive rhythm, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. “It’s just a total overreaction that’s misguided. We need Tyler,” Spoelstra said Friday. “And it will be a little bit of a process working him back into the mix. But to get where we need to go, we need Tyler’s skill and talent. We need our guys healthy, and that’s what we’re working on right now. We can be very dangerous when we get guys on the same page, committing to our identity, and Tyler’s a big part of that.” The Heat are just 3-3 when Herro plays, but they’ve been better when he’s on the court than when he’s off, Chiang observes, and the 25-year-old guard is once again putting up big offensive numbers.
While he admits there are pros and cons to the role, veteran wing Andrew Wiggins has grown accustomed to spending most of his time as a small-ball power forward, per Winderman. “It hasn’t been weighing on me at all. I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable,” he said. “It was more so newer at the beginning of the year. But, like I said, I feel comfortable now and I feel like I’m doing a solid job being the power forward. I mean, it has its advantages and disadvantages.”
Spoelstra says fourth-year forward Nikola Jovic will have an opportunity to play rotation minutes again at some point, Winderman adds, though when exactly that will take place is still up in the air. “He just has to stay with it,” Spoelstra said. “And each day is an opportunity for him to get better and to make an impression. That’s good that he has practice days, to show us. But he’s been working behind the scenes and he’ll get his opportunity again.”

Kristaps Porzingis Out At Least Two Weeks Due To Illness

December 14th, 2025 at 2:56pm CST by Rory Maher

Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis will miss at least two weeks as he undergoes additional evaluations due to an illness, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).

According to Charania, both Atlanta and Porzingis are taking a big-picture view of the Latvian big man’s health in the hope of having him more available later in the season.

The Hawks have confirmed the news in a press release (Twitter link). According to the team, Porzingis will only participate in limited basketball activities over the next two weeks, after which time his status will be updated.

Porzingis, who is earning $30.7MM in 2025/26 and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer if he doesn’t sign an extension before then, will miss his third consecutive game on Sunday against Philadelphia after returning for one game earlier this month following four straight absences because of the unspecified illness.

Porzingis discussed the illness in general terms after the December 5 loss to Denver, his lone appearance in the past few weeks. The 30-year-old said his most recent ailment wasn’t related to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), the condition he was diagnosed with after missing extended time last season.

“No, I wouldn’t say it’s the same thing,” Porzingis said. “I just wasn’t feeling too good, honestly. Just not being healthy healthy, you know? But I wouldn’t say it’s the same stuff from last season, so that’s good.

“I think I kind of put that behind me even this summer playing for the (Latvian) national team, but anyway, just catching whatever, it’s frustrating, you know? I want to be healthy. And I will be healthy.”

Porizingis will miss at least six more games beyond Sunday, with his earliest possible return date likely being Dec. 29 at Oklahoma City.

Mavericks Notes: Flagg, AD, Latest Win, Nembhard

December 14th, 2025 at 2:28pm CST by Rory Maher

Although the Mavericks didn’t find much success using Cooper Flagg as their starting point guard to open the season, both the rookie forward and head coach Jason Kidd believe the experience will benefit the No. 1 overall pick in the long term, per Eddie Sefko of Mavs.com.

“For sure, I think it definitely helped me to grow,” Flagg said of those games as the lead guard. “I learned a lot in that short period of time. We started the season with a lot of losses and a lot of tough games. I think I learned a lot in general. Just being comfortable and understanding is a big thing.

“I’d never really played point guard before. It’s a lot different than any other position. You have to be aware of a lot of other things. It’s a lot of new stuff if you haven’t done it before. I think I learned a ton about what it takes to lead a team as a point guard. I think it was pretty good for me.”

Kidd admitted the move wasn’t popular, but says he’s determined to help Flagg improve.

“From past experiences of giving others the ball, we’ve had success and failures,” Kidd said. “This is an 18-year-old playing against the best players in the world. I want to see how he handles it. I thought he did an incredible job (at point guard). The numbers will say something different. But I think as time goes on, there’s always a big picture.

“We’re playing the long game with him because of his age. We want to hopefully be a part of that successful story. He can handle that. He’s never come to me saying he doesn’t want to do something. He’s open to ideas and that’s kind of cool for a young kid that has all this information that’s pouring into him. Tell him one thing and he can deliver.”

We have more from Dallas:

ESPN’s NBA insiders suggest five hypothetical Anthony Davis trades, with Bobby Marks analyzing each of the proposals. A five-team blockbuster that sends Davis to Atlanta and Zach LaVine and a pair of protected first-round picks to Dallas is the most appealing deal from the Mavericks’ perspective, according to Marks.
Speaking of Davis, the 10-time All-Star big man has been a major part of the team’s recent turnaround, Sefko writes for the team’s website. The Mavs have won five of their past six games, with Davis carrying the team to victory on Friday against Brooklyn, finishing with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 33 minutes. “He’s one of the best players at his position of all time,” Flagg said. “He knows the game incredibly well. He knows when to pick his spots, when to attack and when he’s getting doubled and where everybody is on the court. Whatever he’s doing out there, he’s going to be himself and keep it simple. He’s going to make the right play all the time.”
Rookie point guard Ryan Nembhard has been one of the pleasant surprises in a turbulent season in Dallas. Nembhard’s teammates rave about the 5’11” Canadian’s game, according to Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal. “Ryan is nice — I’m not going to lie,” said guard Brandon Williams, who lost his starting spot to Nembhard. “He gets to the rim. People kind of look at his size, but he uses his size to his advantage. He gets by people, he makes plays for others, and everybody on our team loves playing with him. Even if he’s not getting the assist, the ball is moving with him on the floor and everybody likes that. We all see it and I think that’s what’s contributed to us winning.”

And-Ones: Undervalued Players, Calf Strains, Beverley, Morris

December 14th, 2025 at 1:19pm CST by Rory Maher

John Hollinger of The Athletic lists seven “undervalued” players from around the NBA who are making an outsized impact relative to their contracts. The seven players are specifically “hard-playing, unheralded guys with a little bit of extra edge to them,” as Hollinger puts it.

Raptors backup point guard Jamal Shead is the first player listed, which isn’t surprising. As Hollinger writes, Shead made an immediate impact as a rookie due to his strong defense, but his offensive improvements in year two have made him a key part of Toronto’s rotation.

While the 23-year-old’s shooting is still a “work in progress,” he is processing the game at a higher level in 2025/26.

“Just going left and making reads,” Shead said of his offseason improvement. “It’s not always about scoring, it’s about if they’re trying to push me left or right in the ball screen, can I still make the read out of that? I’m understanding the pace of the game and how to really create for my teammates. … Impacting defense is what I’m going to do regardless, but I’m impacting offense this year a lot more too.”

Suns guard Jordan Goodwin, Nuggets forward Peyton Watson, and Hornets center Moussa Diabate are among the other players highlighted by Hollinger.

Here are a few more odds and ends from around the basketball world:

In an interesting and in-depth story for Yahoo Sports, Tom Haberstroh takes a look at the increase in players missing time with calf strains this season. While there are two very famous examples (Kevin Durant and Tyrese Haliburton) of players with calf injuries later tearing their Achilles tendon, those cases have been the exception and not the rule. “The interesting thing is, historically, a calf strain is thought of as this completely separate injury from an Achilles tear,” said Dr. Scott Ellis of the Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS) in New York. “When you have somebody with an Achilles rupture, nine times out of 10 — actually, even more, 99% of the time — they don’t have anything that you could pick up structurally in an imaging exam on their Achilles.”
Longtime NBA guard Patrick Beverley, who spent last season in Israel, has reached a contract agreement with the Greek club PAOK, reports Nikola Miloradovic of Eurohoops.net. According to Miloradovic, Beverley is expected to arrive in Thessaloniki — where the team is based — on Saturday evening to finalize the deal, which is pending a physical. Beverley, whose last NBA stint was with Milwaukee in 2023/24, was arrested last month in Texas and charged with assault of a family/household member. TMZ reported that Beverley was accused of punching his sister in the eye and choking her for between 20 and 30 seconds.
Veteran NBA guard Monte Morris, who spent time with the Pacers earlier this season, officially signed with the Greek EuroLeague team Olympiacos last week. Eurohoops.net passes along some highlights from Morris’ introductory press conference.

Spurs’ G League Affiliate Acquires Christian Koloko

December 14th, 2025 at 11:30am CST by Rory Maher

The Austin Spurs have acquired the G League rights to Christian Koloko from the available player pool, San Antonio’s affiliate team announced in a press release.

Koloko was technically claimed off the waiver wire, per the NBAGL’s transaction log.

The 33rd overall pick of the 2022 NBA draft, Koloko had a promising rookie season with the Raptors, but he was unable to suit up during the 2023/24 campaign due to a blood clot issue and was released by Toronto in January 2024. The 6’11” center signed a two-way contract with the Lakers in July 2024 and was medically cleared to resume his career by the NBA’s fitness-to-play panel in October 2024.

Koloko spent all of last season with the Lakers and re-signed with Los Angeles on another two-way deal in July. However, the Lakers waived the Cameroonian big man in late November to make roster space for Drew Timme.

In 97 career NBA games, Koloko has averaged 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

Despite being acquired by Austin, Koloko remains an unrestricted NBA free agent.
