Luka Dončić is in the spotlight for the Lakers, but Jordan Goodwin and Trey Jemison III are also proving to be valuable assets on two-way contracts. In recent games, Goodwin has made notable contributions averaging 6.1 points and over three rebounds per game. Coach JJ Redick has indicated Goodwin’s continued involvement in the rotation as the team prepares for playoffs. However, to secure playoff eligibility for either player, the Lakers must convert their contracts before the regular season ends, with financial limitations impacting the timeline of these rookie deals.
In eight games, Goodwin has averaged 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in only 16.9 minutes while shooting 52.5% overall.
Head coach JJ Redick told reporters that he expected Goodwin to be a part of the rotation moving forward.
If the Lakers want either Goodwin or Jemison to be available in the playoffs, they'll have to convert them to standard contracts.
Rest-of-season minimum contracts get prorated based on how many days are left in the regular season.
