When the Los Angeles Lakers signed Travis Wear to a 10-day contract almost two weeks ago, it wasn’t immediately clear what kind of impact the now-former South Bay Lakers forward could make in his G League call-up.
Wear was shooting 41.9 percent on 3-pointers with the affiliate, the sixth-highest percentage among players to take more than 200 threes in the G League this season. But plenty of G League veterans have seen their shot drop off against improved NBA defenses, and it was unknown if Wear would get the minutes necessary to figure out if he could make an impact.
