The Los Angeles Lakers announced the signing of Chaundee Brown to the 15-man roster, the team said in a statement Tuesday.
Brown went undrafted in the 2021 NBA draft. Shortly after the draft’s conclusion, he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with L.A., meaning he would get an opportunity to showcase his readiness during summer league competitions.
Brown, who played collegiate basketball at Michigan, participated in the California Classic games in Sacramento and played in the one game in Las Vegas thus far.
In that game against the Phoenix Suns, Brown finished with 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting, putting his cutting-to-the-rim ability and toughness on defense on display.
Brown’s signing coincided with the signing of Mac McClung to the main roster, meaning the Lakers have filled 14 roster spots and need to bring in one more player to complete the 15-man roster. Up to 20 players can be on the team until final cuts take place before the new season begins.
