Los Angeles Lakers rookie Cameron Carr has been assigned to the NBA G League ahead of the team's season opener, according to a report from Rookie Wire on Thursday.
The move allows the first-year player to gain regular playing time and development experience in the G League while the Lakers begin their NBA campaign. Carr, who joined Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent, will continue his professional development with the organization's affiliate team.
Assignments to the G League are common for rookies and young players as NBA teams manage roster spots and provide meaningful minutes for prospects not yet in the regular rotation.
