As injuries mounted last season, it provide playing opportunities for the likes of Alex Caruso, Travis Wear, and for the final two games, Andre Ingram. Caruso’s playing time was the most expected as he was on a two-way contract.
Meanwhile, Wear initially joined the team in early March by signing a 10-day contract. It marked his first action in the NBA since appearing in 51 games (making one start) for the New York Knicks during the 2014-15 NBA season.
Wear’s play earned him a second 10-day contract, and that was followed by signing with the Lakers for the remainder of the season.
