The Los Angeles Lakers announced Wednesday Sekou Doumbouya has been re-signed to a two-way contract.
In order to make room for Doumbouya’s arrival, the Lakers are waiving Jay Huff.
Doumbouya was with L.A. on a two-way contract earlier in the season, but he was waived after dealing with an injury. The former No. 15 overall pick in 2019 now has another opportunity with the Lakers. He made two appearances during his first stint and had a 10-point game on 4-of-4 shooting against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Huff, a 7-foot-1 floor-spacing center, made four appearances during his run, which last came on Dec. 23. He averaged 1.0 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 0.2 steals in 5.0 minutes per game.
The other Laker currently on a two-way deal is Mason Jones, who has appeared in two games since starting with the franchise on Dec. 21.
