Goodwin tallied 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist in 22 minutes Monday in the Lakers' 132-113 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin has now turned in two quality performances off the bench in a row since signing a two-way deal with the Lakers, as he had previously recorded 10 points, four rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes in Saturday's 124-117 win over the Pacers. The 26-year-old looks to be firmly ahead of Shake Milton in the backcourt pecking order, as Milton didn't check into Monday's game until the Lakers held a 32-point lead with 7:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. Even so, Goodwin is probably more likely to fall out of the rotation entirely than maintain a 20-plus-minute role moving forward. In addition to the Lakers limiting minutes for several key regulars Monday due to the blowout nature of the game, Goodwin benefited from the continued absence of Dalton Knecht (personal), who could absorb nearly all of Goodwin's playing time once he's cleared to play again.

The Lakers signed Goodwin to a two-way contract Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin spent the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's South Bay Lakers, averaging 13.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals across 16 appearances. However, as a two-way player, Goodwin will now split his time between the NBA and G League.

The Lakers waived Goodwin on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin was waived and will likely join the club's G League affiliate -- the South Bay Lakers -- unless another team picks him up. The 25-year-old spent time with both the Grizzlies and Suns last year, during which he appeared in 57 regular-season games and averaged 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 18.5 minutes per game.

Goodwin (hamstring) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks but will operate under a minutes restriction, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin didn't play against the Suns on Sunday, so his return is certainly a positive sign in his recovery process, even if he has a minutes' restriction.

Goodwin (hamstring) didn't play in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin missed a second straight game to open the preseason as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. A timetable for his return remains unclear, but his next opportunity to suit up is Thursday in Milwaukee.

Goodwin (hamstring) didn't play in Friday's 124-107 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin has been dealing with a hamstring issue, so it wasn't surprising to see him being held out of the preseason opener. His next chance to play will come against the Suns on Sunday, but it wouldn't be shocking if he sits a few more games in preseason. Goodwin is on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Lakers and is competing for a regular-season roster spot.

Goodwin didn't participate during Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin is on an Exhibit 10 deal, which allows him the opportunity to compete for a regular-season roster spot. However, the 25-year-old guard could miss significant time in training camp due to his hamstring issue.

Goodwin and the Lakers agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal Tuesday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin was one of the top free agents available and will now have the chance to compete for a roster spot in Los Angeles during training camp. In 121 career NBA appearances, Goodwin holds regular-season averages of 6.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Goodwin registered 23 points (7-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin blew past his previous career best with 19 rebounds the last time he suited up Tuesday's versus San Antonio, and he nearly matched that mark Friday against the Lakers. He's notched double-digit rebounds in five of his past seven games, providing surprising production on the boards given his role as a 6-foot-3 point guard. In addition, Goodwin's 23 points Friday were a career high, and he's certainly making a case to be a big part of the Grizzlies' rotation next year after working on a two-way contract during the latter portion of the current campaign.

Goodwin is starting Friday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goodwin was held out of Wednesday's clash against the Cavs to ensure he stayed below his limit of active games as a two-way player, but he'll be back in action Friday evening. He should see plenty of chances considering the Grizzlies have 13 players listed as out on the injury report.
