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Mark Williams, whom the Los Angeles Lakers traded for a week ago, failed his physical, leading to the trade being rescinded, the Lakers were left with a weak center rotation.

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.

Free agent 7-footer Alex Len will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, agent Mike Lelchitski tells ESPN. Len intended to sign with the Pacers but has decided to land in LA after the Lakers rescinded the Mark Williams trade and created new opportunity. pic.twitter.com/pjqV5HaK4n
