The Los Angeles Lakers have signed veteran free-agent center Alex Len to bolster their frontcourt depth after their failed attempt to acquire Charlotte center Mark Williams.

Once young and promising center Mark Williams, whom the Los Angeles Lakers traded for a week ago, failed his physical, leading to the trade being rescinded, the Lakers were left with a weak center rotation.

Lakers veteran center Alex Len was thought to be on his way to signing with the Pacers after being waived by the Wizards, but he changed his mind.
