In a somewhat surprising move, the Los Angeles Lakers have waived the non-guaranteed contract of Alfonzo McKinnie, opening up an extra roster spot for the team to use in free agency.
Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news. McKinnie was only making $2 million, so this does not clear any cap space for the Lakers given how far they are over the cap, but it does allow them to sign an extra player or just save some cash.
