The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Tuesday they have signed forward Wenyen Gabriel to a two-way contract.

The Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said the expectation is that Wenyen Gabriel will be with the team full time and is unlikely to play much with South Bay.

Vogel added Gabriel has a chance to earn rotation minutes and fits into the mold of LA’s most successful lineups (youth, energy, athleticism).
