After failing to acquire Mark Williams, the Lakers were left without much positional depth at center, and Len will help to correct that. He and Jaxson Hayes will likely share minutes, hurting the fantasy value of both. Len doesn’t need to be added in most leagues, and he would only be a viable fantasy option if he earned full-time starter minutes. Wood’s departure won’t impact fantasy hoops, but he could be worth a look if he lands in the right situtation.

On Saturday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Len planned to sign with the Pacers after being waived by the Wizards. However, things have reportedly changed. Indiana signed Jahlil Okafor to a 10-day contract, and shortly after, multiple outlets reported that there was mutual interest between Len and the Lakers. While he doesn’t fit the “vertical spacing” center profile that has worked well with Luka Doncic in the past, there’s a more straightforward path to consistent playing time in Los Angeles than there would have been in Indianapolis.

Acquired from the Kings as part of a multi-team trade that included the Wizards and Grizzlies, Len has been waived by Washington. Once he clears waivers, the plan is to join the Pacers, who need depth behind Myles Turner. This move won’t impact fantasy basketball.
