The Los Angeles Lakers have began making their necessary roster reductions by cutting both Robert Upshaw and Michael Frazier II.
With the latest two cuts, the current roster stands at 17 players, meaning that the Lakers will have to cut at least two more players before Wednesday’s Season Opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Though the Frazier decision was not much of a surprise, the Upshaw choice is likely to cause an uproar from Lakers fans nationwide. From the get go, fans quickly took a liking to the raw rookie, with chants of his name echoing at nearly every preseason game.
