Machado signed a contract Aug. 9 with Cairns Taipans of the Australian National Basketball League.

EDGE Analysis

Machado ended the 2018-19 campaign with the Lakers after inking a 10-day contract last March. He logged garbage time in four contests, marking his first NBA action since the 2012-13 season. The point guard wasn't re-signed after his 10-day deal expired and didn't attract offers from other NBA teams in free agency over the summer, so he'll head across the Pacific Ocean to continue his career.

Machado signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado was recently named G League Player of the Week after posting 40 points, 16 assists and seven rebounds in a victory over the Herd. Now, he's been rewarded with a 10-day contract following the expiration of Andre Ingram's deal. Given the Lakers' chances at the playoffs are all but gone, Machado could get a fair chance with quality minutes for the team over the course of his contract.

Machado set a season-high in points (40), assists (16) and rebounds (seven) in the win Monday over the Herd.

EDGE Analysis

This was easily Machado's best game of the season, connecting on 14 of his 22 field goal attempts which led to his third-best field goal percentage of the 2018-19 season.

Machado finished Thursday's win over Agua Caliente with 26 points (10-20, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and a steal.

EDGE Analysis

Machado has seen his season averages rise in the past couple of weeks, posting 15.8 points, 7.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 40 games. The leading scorer for South Bay, Machado has quietly been one of the more consistent point guards in the G League.

Machado finished Wednesday's loss to Northern Arizona with 21 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals.

EDGE Analysis

In Machado's second season with South Bay, the guard has quietly turned into one of the more reliable members of the team. Through 35 games, Machado is playing close to 30 minutes a night, and averaging 14.6 points, 7.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds.

Machado tallied nine points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two steals in the loss Wednesday to Westchester.

EDGE Analysis

Machado didn't start the contest, but he did wind up with the most minutes in the backcourt as South Bay's depleted depth forced three of the four members off the bench to play 20-plus minutes.

Machado was signed by the Lakers on Friday, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal is likely for training camp, and Machado is ultimately a longshot to make the team. He'll likely end up looking for work in the G-League or overseas.

Machado did not partake during Sunday's 137-120 loss at Northern Arizona due to an injured right hip.

EDGE Analysis

Machado hasn't seen action since scoring 21 points back on Mar. 3 and it's unknown when he will be able to return to the court because of his injury. The former Iona star is averaging 16.0 points and 8.8 assists for South Bay this season.

Machado returned from illness to play 25 minutes in Sunday's game against Santa Cruz.

EDGE Analysis

Machado was held out of Thursday's win over the Agua Caliente Clippers, but he returned to his regular role Sunday, providing eight points, 12 assists, four rebounds and a steal in the victory.

Machado did not play during Thursday's 119-93 win over Agua Caliente due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

The third year player from Iona is a main contributor to South Bay's offense with 15.5 and 8.6 points per game. It's not exactly sure when Machado will return to action, as South Bay's next game is Saturday versus Sioux Falls.
