Even though the Lakers took a flyer on undrafted center Trey Jemison III, they aren't settling when it comes to finding a viable backup center.

Center Trey Jemison joined the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-way contract on Wednesday, and with Anthony Davis missing Friday night’s game, the former UAB standout made his first appearance for the NBA team.

Undrafted 25-year-old center Trey Jemison III made his Lakers debut on Friday, and it looks like he may have a growth mindset about his game.

New Lakers big man Trey Jemison was a little disappointed in himself after his debut with the team against the Nets.

The 25-year-old Jemison, who compares his physique to former Lakers center Dwight Howard, brings an intriguing combination of size and defensive intensity.

The proposed trade would send the floor-spacing center to the Los Angeles Lakers to pair with Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

The Lakers can still trade for a big man ahead of the deadline but are going to add some size in the meantime. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles is planning to sign former New Orleans Pelicans center Trey Jemison. He was just recently waived by the team after playing in 16 games this season.

Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points, LeBron James had 29 and the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101.

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly signed big man Trey Jemison to two-year, two-way contract to perhaps get an extended look from L.A.

Although the Lakers only signed Trey Jemison III to a two-way contract, there is one aspect of his deal that indicates they see real potential in him.

Lakers center Anthony Davis missed only his third game this season after being a late scratch from the lineup before the matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
