The Los Angeles Lakers are considering a trade for Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin to strengthen their bench. A proposed deal would send two reserve big men from the Lakers to the Pacers in exchange for Mathurin.

Mathurin is currently averaging 15.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, showing strong shooting skills. He could provide the Lakers with reliable scoring, especially during times when their star point guard struggles.

The Lakers have enough frontcourt depth to make this trade possible. The Pacers may be interested in acquiring players like Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood to improve their own lineup.
