Despite back-to-back postseason losses to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers did not address their need at the center position behind Anthony Davis this offseason.
Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes both picked up their player options to return to the team, but the former will miss the start of the season after undergoing knee surgery. So outside of Davis and Hayes, the only depth the Lakers currently have in the frontcourt are two-way players Christian Koloko, Colin Castleton and Armel Traore.
New head coach JJ Redick acknowledged earlier in the offseason that the Lakers are looking to add a center, but they will now go into the year without having addressed that.
When speaking at a press conference on Wednesday night, Redick did not seem too concerned due to the presence of Davis.
