Sekou Doumbouya has found a new home with the Los Angeles Lakers after being jettisoned by the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets this offseason. Doumbouya is progressing toward a two-way deal with the injury-plagued Lakers, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Injuries were always going to be a concern for the veteran-laden Lakers team, but they are also losing younger players to injury. Trevor Ariza (to be clear, not a young player) is out two months after surgery on his ankle, Talen Horton-Tucker is scheduled to have surgery on a torn ligament in his thumb that will see him out for an extended period, Kendrick Nunn is out with an akle sprain and Malik Monk is dealing with a groin strain.
