Derrick Williams’ NBA career isn’t over just yet. Not for the next week and a half, at least.
The Los Angeles Lakers signed Williams to a 10-day contract today.
Williams, a forward, most recently appeared in 15 games (six starts) for the Tianjin Gold Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association, averaging 20.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Formerly the second overall selection in the 2011 NBA Draft, Williams holds career averages of 8.9 points and 4.0 rebounds in 426 games (112 starts) with Minnesota, Sacramento, New York, Miami and Cleveland.
The Lakers roster stands at 17, including two two-way players.
