Travis Wear: Complete performance in loss
Wear compiled 25 points (9-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, four steals and a blocked shot in the 130-126 loss to Northern Arizona on Wednesday.
Wear attempted over a third of the team's total three pointers, but he also connected on half of his shots en route to a team-wide 40.5 percent from deep. The G League veteran has steadily developed a niche within South Bay's offense, stretching the floor for the likes of Scott Machado and Marcus Allen to benefit.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Finally sees action in NBA
Wear appeared in 17 games for the Lakers in 2017-18 and averaged 4.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.4 assists.
Wear was finally able to land a contract with an NBA team, his first since the 2014-15 season. The former UCLA forward wasn't much of a factor for the Lakers at any point of the season though as it's likely that he will find himself playing for a G League team when the season start next year.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Back from G League
Wear was recalled from the G League on Friday.
Wear has shuttled back and forth from the NBA and G League, but he'll be in uniform and available off the bench Friday against Minnesota. Wear hasn't played in any of the Lakers' last four games, however, so it's unclear if he'll have much of a role.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Assigned to G-League
Wear was assigned to the G-League on Thursday.
Wear will head back down and rejoin South Bay in their current run in the G-League playoffs. Look for Wear to play in the Western Conference Finals on Thursday night against the Austin Spurs, but should then be recalled shortly after. However, Wear has been a DNP-CD in the last four games for the Lakers, so he can continue to be avoided for fantasy purposes when recalled.

Wear has been recalled from the G-League's South Bay Lakers.
Wear took the court for South Bay on Tuesday, helping the team to a playoff victory by posting 23 points, 11 rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes. He'll likely continue bouncing back and forth between the NBA and the G-League as long as South Bay is still in contention.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Sent to G-League
Wear has been assigned to the G-League's South Bay Lakers on Monday.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Recalled from G-League
Wear was recalled from the G-League on Sunday.
Wear was sent down for a brief stint with South Bay over the weekend, helping them secure a playoff victory over the Oklahoma City Blue with a 21-point effort Saturday. He'll now be recalled back to the big club and should be active off the bench for Sunday's tilt with the Kings. Wear has averaged a respectable 17.0 minutes over the last three games he's played in with the Lakers, but still isn't someone to consider for fantasy purposes.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Sent to G League
Wear was assigned to the G League on Friday, Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Wear had an opportunity to see extended minutes while Brandon Ingram was injured, but with Ingram back in the fold, Wear is a bit more expendable. He'll join the South Bay Lakers for their G League playoff game Friday evening, meaning he'll likely be unavailable for the NBA club's matchup with Milwaukee.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Scores 11 points in victory
Wear tallied 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 19 minutes during Saturday's 100-93 victory over the Grizzlies.
Wear saw a slight bump in playing time and responded with 11 points to go with two steals. It is only the second time in the last 11 games that he has scored in double-figures and he really isn't a big part of the rotation. When the Lakers officially fall out of the playoff hunt, there is a chance he could see some additional playing time and although not worthy of a standard league roster spot, he could be worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Signing with Lakers for reminder of season
Wear will be signed by the Lakers for the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
Wear's second 10-day contract expired Thursday but he will now be able to call LA home for the remainder of the season. In nine games with the Lakers, the former Bruin has averaged 4.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.4 blocks and 0.1 assists in just under 12 minutes per contest. The 27-year-old could see an increased role to finish out the year with the Lakers a ways out of the playoff race.

Lakers' Travis Wear: Season-high scoring total Friday
Wear tallied 11 points (3-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 14 minutes in Friday's 92-91 loss to the Heat.
Fresh off inking a second 10-day contract, the former Bruin led the second unit in scoring with a season-high point total. Wear has seen between 12 and 16 minutes over the last four contests, and he's logged double-digit minutes in six of the eight games he's suited up for so far. Although Wear has offered some decent offense relative to playing time, it remains to be seen what the extent of his role will be once Brandon Ingram (groin) returns to action.
