The Lakers Reportedly Worked Out A Former Mavericks Player On Thursday
The Los Angeles Lakers have gotten off to a poor start to the 2022-23 NBA season with a 17-21 record in 38 games, which has them as the 12th seed in the Western Conference.
However, the team is in the middle of a three-game winning streak after defeating the Miami Heat 112-109 on Wednesday night.
On Thursday, Krysten Peek of Yahoo! Sports reported that the Lakers brought in former Dallas Mavericks player Tyler Dorsey for a workout.
Via Peek: "Tyler Dorsey, who was waved by the Dallas Mavericks last month, worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers today, sources told @YahooSports. General Manager Rob Pelinka and head coach Darvin Ham were both in the gym watching Dorsey."
Dorsey played in three games for the Mavs this season, and averaged 3.0 points per contest.
NBA reporter Marc Stein also confirmed Peek's report of the former Oregon star working out for the Lakers.
Via Stein: "The Lakers are exploring their options for potential 10-day signings, league sources say.
A source also confirms Krysten's report below that former Mavericks guard Tyler Dorsey is among the candidates, having auditioned for L.A. today."
In addition to the Mavs, Dorsey has also played for the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies.
Over 107 career NBA games, he has averages of 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest (on 39.2% shooting from the field and 35.1% from the three-point range).
Dorsey has played phenomenally in the G League this season with averages of 24.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest (on 46.6% shooting from the field and 46.7% shooting from the three-point range) in 17 games.
