The Lakers are facing a pressing deadline to find a center following their blockbuster trade acquiring Luka Doncic, which was at the expense of Anthony Davis. Currently, they only have Jaxson Hayes available in the starting lineup. Reports suggest that Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks is among the candidates under consideration. Knicks' coach Tom Thibodeau recently indicated that Robinson is nearing clearance for returning to full practices, adding urgency to the Lakers' search as they prepare for upcoming games.
