The Los Angeles Lakers claimed former Dayton Flyers forward Kostas Antetokounmpo off free agency waivers Sunday, according to a report by The Athletic, two days after he was waived by the Dallas Mavericks.

Antetokounmpo signed a two-way deal with the Lakers, according to the report. He also had a two-way deal last season with Dallas.

Antetokounmpo appeared in two games last season for the Mavericks, scoring one point. He spent most of his rookie season in the NBA G League with the Texas Legends.
