What happened: Los Angeles moved Meechie Johnson and Chase Ross onto Exhibit 10 contracts as it keeps reshaping the back of the training-camp roster. The pair joins the Lakers' latest round of low-risk offseason additions ahead of preseason.
Why it matters: The moves add another layer to the Lakers' roster crunch before the Oct. 20 deadline to get down to 15 players. Exhibit 10 deals give teams camp flexibility and a G League pathway, so these spots matter most at the edge of the roster.
By the numbers: Roster deadline: Los Angeles must trim to 15 players by Oct. 20.
What to watch: Watch whether Johnson or Ross stick through preseason and how many Exhibit 10 spots the Lakers keep active as opening-night cuts get closer.
