Los Angeles Lakers Bring in Four Undrafted Rookies on Exhibit 10 Deals Ahead of 2025-26 Season
Lakers team (Image via Getty) In a move aimed at deepening their offseason roster and evaluating young talent, the Los Angeles Lakers have officially signed four undrafted rookies—guards RJ Davis and Augustas Marciulionis, and forwards Eric Dixon and Arthur Kaluma—on Exhibit 10 contracts. The signings were confirmed by the team via Twitter on July 26, 2025. These additions offer the Los Angeles Lakers a chance to assess promising prospects during training camp, with flexibility to convert deals depending on performance. Understanding the Los Angeles Lakers Exhibit 10 Contract Exhibit 10 contracts are one-year, non-guaranteed deals that can be converted into two-way contracts before the start of the regular season. These contracts also offer players bonuses of up to $75,000 if they are waived and spend at least 60 days with the team's G League affiliate. In this case, all four players are candidates to potentially earn a two-way slot with the Los Angeles Lakers or bolster the South Bay Lakers' roster. Eric Dixon: Villanova Scoring Machine Gets a Shot in L.A. Eric Dixon stands out among the group not just for his scoring prowess but also for how his contract situation unfolded. Ranked 44th on ESPN's draft board, Dixon surprisingly went undrafted despite leading NCAA Division I in scoring during the 2024–25 season. Dixon's 2024–25 Stats at Villanova: Stat Category Value Points Per Game 23.3 Rebounds Per Game 5.1 Minutes Per Game 34.8 Field Goal % 45.1% 3PT % 40.7% Free Throw % 81.3% The 6-foot-8 forward also earned third-team All-American honors and was expected by many to receive a two-way contract. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton's Parenting Style Leaves Queen Speechless Crowdy Fan Undo However, as reported by The Athletic's Dan Woike, a foot injury kept Dixon out of Summer League play, likely influencing the team's decision to start him on an Exhibit 10 deal instead. Still, his contract allows for potential conversion before the season begins. RJ Davis: ACC Player of the Year Joins the Purple and Gold RJ Davis brings leadership and scoring to the Los Angeles Lakers' backcourt options. The 6-foot guard earned ACC Player of the Year honors in 2023–24 and returned as a super-senior for North Carolina in 2024–25. Davis' Key Stats: • 17.2 points per game • 3.6 assists per game Davis has shown he can score at multiple levels and create plays under pressure, making him a potential backup guard option if he proves himself in training camp. Augustas Marciulionis: Lithuanian Playmaker from Saint Mary's A 6-foot-4 floor general, Augustas Marciulionis is a two-time WCC Player of the Year and one of the most well-rounded guards in mid-major basketball last season. Marciulionis' 2024–25 Stats at Saint Mary's: Stat Category Value Points Per Game 14.2 Assists Per Game 5.9 Rebounds Per Game 4.1 FG % 44.6% 3PT % 34.7% FT % 79.3% His international experience and consistency as a playmaker could help him stand out as a viable G League contributor or emergency call-up. Arthur Kaluma: Versatile Wing with a Well-Rounded Game Arthur Kaluma, a 6-foot-7 wing, arrives with a solid résumé across multiple college programs, including Creighton, Texas State, and Texas. In his final NCAA season with the Longhorns, Kaluma delivered across the board. Kaluma's 2024–25 Stats at Texas: Stat Category Value Points Per Game 12.3 Rebounds Per Game 7.5 Assists Per Game 1.8 FG % 46.2% 3PT % 35.9% FT % 78.4% His ability to guard multiple positions and contribute offensively makes him a potential sleeper among the Los Angeles Lakers' Exhibit 10 signings. While all four signings were expected, given earlier reports following the 2025 NBA Draft, Eric Dixon's deal was the only mild surprise, as many had anticipated a two-way agreement. As Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors noted, 'reporting last month suggested that Dixon would get a two-way contract — instead, he has joined the team on an Exhibit 10 deal.' With training camp on the horizon, these rookies now face a crucial window to prove their value. Exhibit 10 deals may seem like a low-commitment investment from the team, but they provide a real opportunity for undrafted players to break into the NBA system. Summary: Lakers' Exhibit 10 Signings at a Glance Player Position College Key Stat Highlight Notes Eric Dixon Forward Villanova 23.3 PPG, 3rd-team All-American Undrafted despite ESPN rank #44 RJ Davis Guard North Carolina 17.2 PPG, ACC Player of the Year Super-senior leadership Augustas Marciulionis Guard Saint Mary's 5.9 APG, 2x WCC Player of the Year Lithuanian playmaker Arthur Kaluma Wing Texas 7.5 RPG, versatile defender Played at three NCAA programs If any of these players shine in camp, the Los Angeles Lakers could flip the Exhibit 10 into a two-way deal—or even consider a regular-season roster spot.

Rockets open up 2025-26 roster spot by waiving Nate Williams
The Rockets are opening up a 2025-26 roster spot by waiving Nate Williams, who had been on a non-guaranteed minimum contract with the Rockets. The Houston Rockets opened up a roster spot Sunday by waiving guard/forward Nate Williams, whose minimum salary for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season was not guaranteed until October. In the team's announcement, the Rockets also said they signed undrafted rookie free agent Cameron Matthews, a forward out of Mississippi State. But according to The Athletic's Kelly Iko, Matthews was signed to an Exhibit 10, training-camp contract, which will allow him to compete for a roster spot at that time. So, in effect, the Rockets are leaving the status of Williams' roster spot to be determined. A player such as Matthews could perhaps earn it with a strong training camp, or the Rockets could make another minimum-salary signing later in the 2025 offseason. Exhibit 10 contracts are non-guaranteed, allowing teams to release those players without financial penalties before the ensuing regular season. In effect, they buy time and allow teams to further evaluate those players during training camp and the preseason. Williams had finished up the 2024-25 regular season on a standard contract with the Rockets, and he went into the offseason with a deal that had yet to guarantee for 2025-26. Both Williams and Matthews are part of Houston's 2025 summer-league team, which has four games remaining in Las Vegas. Two are on Sunday and Monday afternoons versus the Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks, respectively (schedule).

Emperor, Empress Mourn A-Bomb Victims in Hiroshima
Hiroshima, June 19 (Jiji Press)--Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako on Thursday offered prayers in Hiroshima for the victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of the western Japan city, as this year marks 80 years since the end of World War II. It was the Imperial couple's first visit to Hiroshima Prefecture since the Emperor's enthronement in 2019. They met hibakusha atomic bomb survivors as well as younger generations committed to passing on the memory of the bombing. On the day, the Emperor and Empress arrived at Hiroshima Airport on a special plane from Tokyo's Haneda Airport and went to Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. They were led by Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui as they offered white flowers at the cenotaph for those who died in the atomic bombing. They then made their first visit to the Exhibit Facility for Atomic-Bombed Remnants, which opened within the park in 2022. Emperor Naruhito expressed sorrow after viewing exhibits of bombed houses and hearing an explanation about the large number of deaths. At the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the couple viewed exhibits such as burned clothing and a tricycle, with sad expressions on their faces. They spoke with three hibakusha and two storytellers.
