Len tallied five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds across six minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Len made an impression during his first preseason game with his new squad. He scored five points in six minutes off the bench, hitting his only field-goal attempt and doing the rest of the work at the free-throw line. The veteran big man is trying to earn a roster spot after a disappointing short stint with the Lakers at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Len signed a training camp deal with the Knicks on Tuesday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks are going to have some serious competition for roster spots at training camp, having recently signed Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews. Plus, the team will be working out Dennis Smith this week. Len split his time between the Kings and Lakers last regular season, posting combined averages of 1.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game.

Len finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 1.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks across 8.3 minutes per game over 46 regular-season appearances (seven starts) between the Lakers and the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Len played only four minutes in two appearances during the Lakers' 4-1 first-round series loss to Minnesota, racking up four rebounds. The 31-year-old big man began the season with Sacramento but was traded to the Wizards and subsequently waived in February. However, he signed a one-year pact with the Lakers in the same month, and he averaged 2.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists across 12.2 minutes per game in 10 appearances (four starts). Len is set to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2025-26 season and could be an option for teams seeking frontcourt depth.

Len is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers rested most of their regulars for the regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers on April 13, so Len got the start at center, but that won't be the case for this postseason opener. Jaxson Hayes will start at center, meaning Len will be limited to a secondary role off the bench.

Len will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Len will be a starter for the seventh time this season on Sunday. The veteran big man has averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 45.5 percent from the floor in the first unit this season.

Len logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Len stepped into the rotation after recording a DNP via coach's decision in each of the club's last three outings. The big man nearly recorded a double-double and was efficient in the blowout loss. However, Len is unlikely to stick around in the rotation whenever Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) return.

Len won't start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jaxson Hayes (knee) sidelined, Len drew three straight starts but failed to make an impact, totaling four points, 10 rebounds and four assists in 44 minutes. Len wasn't part of the regular rotation before Hayes' injury, but the former should have a role Sunday, as Trey Jemison (illness) is sidelined.

Len closed with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 13 minutes during Monday's 111-108 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Len moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jaxson Hayes who was ruled out with a knee injury. Despite the promotion, Len offered very little in terms of tangible production, failing to score for the fourth consecutive game. Having suited up only twice in the past eight games, Len's role appears to be on a knifes edge, typically resulting in very little playing time, if any.

Len will start in Monday's game against Brooklyn, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran big man will supplant Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting five due to Jaxson Hayes (knee) being sidelined. Vanderbilt drew the start at center during Saturday's loss to Boston, though Len will join the first unit against the Nets after receiving a DNP via coach's decision in each of the Lakers' last two outings.

Len supplied one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Len was back in the rotation, albeit for a short stint during garbage time. After playing 22 minutes in his first appearance for the Lakers, Len has since faded into obscurity. At this point, it appears he will only be used in emergencies or when an opponent requires the Lakers to deploy size in their rotation.
