Lakers
Luka Doncic is pleased with how the Los Angeles Lakers are reshaping their roster, The Athletic’s Dan Woike reported. The All-NBA guard, currently spending the offseason in Europe, has been in frequent contact with the club and likes two key moves: re-signing guard Austin Reaves and landing center Walker Kessler from Utah in a sign-and-trade. Los Angeles is still scouting for another wing and a reserve center, with veterans Jonas Valanciunas and Kevon Looney among the possibilities.
International
Cedi Osman is returning to his roots, agreeing to join Turkish powerhouse Anadolu Efes after two seasons with Greece’s Panathinaikos, according to Sportando. The 30-year-old forward began his professional career with Efes before entering the NBA in 2017. Last season, he averaged 12.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in EuroLeague play.
Bucks
Guard Kam Jones has reached a two-way agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported. Drafted 38th overall in 2025, the former Marquette standout was waived by the Chicago Bulls earlier this week. Jones appeared in 37 games as a rookie, averaging 3.2 assists while battling injuries and streaky shooting. Once Jones and undrafted rookie Rafael Castro are officially signed, Milwaukee is expected to have all three two-way slots filled.
