The Los Angeles Lakers are signing seven-foot Alex Len to the team after the Lakers' failed trade for center Mark Williams, ESPN's Shams Charania reported. Len originally was going to sign with the Indiana Pacers before the Lakers showed interest.

Alex Len was waived by the Washington Wizards earlier this month, and was initially going to sign with the Pacers.

The Hornets have been in contact with the NBA to explore options to dispute the Lakers' failed physical assessment of Mark Williams, sources told ESPN.
