The Lakers waived Kobe Bufkin, who averaged 7.4 minutes in 16 games, to free up a roster spot for potential playoff signings. Bufkin, the No. 15 pick in the 2023 draft, had limited playing time with the Lakers after being traded from the Hawks and spending time with the South Bay G League affiliate. The team may convert a two-way player to a standard contract or sign a free agent before the playoff roster deadline on Monday. Players waived before March 1 are eligible for postseason rosters.
