The Lakers made Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones official and waived Jahmir Young, hours after Young was added in place of Cole Swider.

The 25-year-old New Zealander starred at UC San Diego, went undrafted in 2025 and was Latvian-Estonian League Finals MVP with Valmiera Glass VIA.

A player waived before opening night who spends 60 days with a G League affiliate can earn a bonus of up to about $91,000.

Rosters must be set by Monday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m. ET: 15 standard contracts and three two-way spots. Many cuts land by Saturday.
