Lakers' Alex Len: Back to bench for playoff opener
Len is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Lakers rested most of their regulars for the regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers on April 13, so Len got the start at center, but that won't be the case for this postseason opener. Jaxson Hayes will start at center, meaning Len will be limited to a secondary role off the bench.

Lakers' Alex Len: Will start vs. Portland
Len will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Len will be a starter for the seventh time this season on Sunday. The veteran big man has averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 45.5 percent from the floor in the first unit this season.

Lakers' Alex Len: Nears double-double in defeat
Len logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Bucks.
Len stepped into the rotation after recording a DNP via coach's decision in each of the club's last three outings. The big man nearly recorded a double-double and was efficient in the blowout loss. However, Len is unlikely to stick around in the rotation whenever Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) return.

Lakers' Alex Len: Retreats to bench
Len won't start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
With Jaxson Hayes (knee) sidelined, Len drew three straight starts but failed to make an impact, totaling four points, 10 rebounds and four assists in 44 minutes. Len wasn't part of the regular rotation before Hayes' injury, but the former should have a role Sunday, as Trey Jemison (illness) is sidelined.

Lakers' Alex Len: Fails to score in start
Len closed with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 13 minutes during Monday's 111-108 loss to the Nets.
Len moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jaxson Hayes, who was ruled out with a knee injury. Despite the promotion, Len offered very little in terms of tangible production, failing to score for the fourth consecutive game. Having suited up only twice in the past eight games, Len's role appears to be on a knife's edge, typically resulting in very little playing time, if any.

Lakers' Alex Len: Starting sans Hayes
Len will start in Monday's game against Brooklyn, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
The veteran big man will supplant Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting five due to Jaxson Hayes (knee) being sidelined. Vanderbilt drew the start at center during Saturday's loss to Boston, though Len will join the first unit against the Nets after receiving a DNP via coach's decision in each of the Lakers' last two outings.

Lakers' Alex Len: Enters rotation in win
Len supplied one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.
Len was back in the rotation, albeit for a short stint during garbage time. After playing 22 minutes in his first appearance for the Lakers, Len has since faded into obscurity. At this point, it appears he will only be used in emergencies or when an opponent requires the Lakers to deploy size in their rotation.

Lakers' Alex Len: Available Wednesday
Len is available for and will play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Len signed with the Lakers on Tuesday and will be active for Wednesday's contest. He'll compete with Jaxson Hayes and Trey Jemison for center minutes the rest of the season. In 36 appearances with the Kings during 2024-25, Len averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds across 7.2 minutes.

Lakers' Alex Len: Set to sign with Lakers
Shams Charania of ESPN reported Tuesday that Len will sign with the Lakers.
Len signed a one-year, $3.31 million deal with the Kings in July of 2024, but he played only 7.2 minutes per game while serving in a rotational role at center. He was traded by Sacramento last Thursday to Washington and was subsequently waived. Earlier reports indicated that he would ink a deal with the Pacers for the rest of the season, but Len will instead head to Los Angeles to play alongside LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. With the Lakers' trade for Mark Williams being rescinded Saturday, Len should see some meaningful minutes off the bench as the backup center behind Jaxson Hayes.

Alex Len: Won't sign with Indiana
The Pacers will not sign Len to a deal, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Len was expected to sign a one-year pact with the Pacers upon clearing waivers; however, he will remain a free agent for the time being. The big man was traded from the Kings to the Wizards before having been waived by Washington on Saturday. The 31-year-old is a candidate to latch on with a team lacking depth in the frontcourt.

Alex Len: Will be waived, sign with Pacers
The Wizards are expected to waive Len on Saturday, and the center is expected to sign a one-year deal with Indiana upon clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Washington acquired Len on Thursday in a three-team deal involving the Kings and Grizzlies, but the Wizards never had any plans of keeping the journeyman center in the fold. Assuming Len clears waivers, he'll add depth to a Pacers frontcourt that includes Myles Turner (neck) and Thomas Bryant. Len didn't see much playing time in Sacramento prior to being traded, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 boards in 7.2 minutes per game over 36 appearances. Since he'll likely be behind both Turner on Bryant on the center depth chart in Indiana, Len will presumably find himself outside of the rotation in most games.

Wizards' Alex Len: Won't play Friday
Len (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Len will have to wait to make his Wizards debut after being traded to Washington on Thursday. The big man will likely compete for playing time off the bench behind rookie center Alex Sarr (ankle), and Len's next chance to feature will come Saturday against the Hawks.
