With just hours to go before Media Day on Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers made a few changes to the roster they will take with them into training camp.
They added William Kyle III, a 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward who went undrafted in June out of Syracuse University, and Cole Swider , a 6-foot-8 forward, to Exhibit 10 contracts. At the same time, they waived Meechie Johnson Jr. and Chase Ross, two players whom the Lakers had brought in just days ago .

The team's first official training camp session will take place on Tuesday, and its first preseason game will be on Monday, Oct. 5, versus the Sacramento Kings .
Kyle had played for the Lakers' summer league team in July and averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10 minutes a game there. He had averaged 8.4 points on 66.1% field-goal shooting, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks a game last season at Syracuse University.
Swider has been with the Lakers before. He went undrafted out of Syracuse University in 2022 and caught on with them shortly afterward on a two-way contract. He played in seven games with them as a rookie, and he spent last season with Turkish Anadolu Efes, a pro basketball team in Turkey.
