The Lakers have been active on the undrafted free agent market in recent days, signing Jonathan Holmes to a 2-year contract on Thursday and agreeing to a 2-year contract with Michael Frazier on Sunday. With this activity, a persisting question is when the Lakers would follow through on signing Robert Upshaw to the contract they reportedly agreed to after the team’s first summer league game.
Well, it looks like we have an answer and it’s not exactly the one I’m guessing a lot of fans were hoping for:
I hear the Lakers have no immediate plan to sign undrafted center Robert Upshaw, though he still remains a possibility

As Pincus notes, Upshaw remains a possibility and I wouldn’t be surprised if he still gets an invite to camp on a “make good” contract.
