The Lakers didn’t come up with Anthony Davis at the trade deadline, but they did make a deal for a big man by acquiring Mike Muscala from their STAPLES Center co-tenant Clippers. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the deal:
Muscala had never played a game for the Clippers — he was part of the Tobias Harris trade which sent multiple players from Philly to the Clips in the deal. Muscala was in his 1st season with the 76ers after spending the first 5 years of his career with the Hawks.
The Lakers acquired Muscala for his shooting.
