Lakers sign Anton Watson

The Los Angeles Lakers have added another player to their training camp roster, signing forward Anton Watson to an Exhibit 10 contract.

Watson is already familiar with the organization after spending last season with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward averaged 11 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals while playing 27.3 minutes per game.

He also suited up for Los Angeles during the 2026 California Classic Summer League, giving the Lakers another opportunity to evaluate him before training camp.

Watson entered the NBA as the 54th overall selection by the Boston Celtics in the 2024 draft.

Boston waived him in March 2025, and he later appeared in nine games for the New York Knicks.
