What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers have struck deals to add Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams to their wing rotation, according to Marc Stein. The team previously launched its pursuit of Thybulle last week.

Why it matters: The additions provide Los Angeles with established defensive options on the perimeter for the 2026-27 season. The signings follow stalled sign-and-trade discussions between the Lakers and Atlanta Hawks for forward Jonathan Kuminga.

What to watch: The Lakers will look to integrate their new defensive wings as they continue to finalize their offseason roster.
