The No. 4 pick in the 2010 draft was suspended three times by the Heat this season, including a 10-game ban for a concerning incident on a team flight after he consumed a THC-infused edible, and played only three games all year. “At the end of the day, I’m grown,” he said when asked about his struggles with the Heat. “So, you learn from your mistakes. … We don’t got to keep drilling on the past, things like that. You live and you learn. And I did that. So, they understood that, and that was a short conversation (with the Lakers’ brass).”
Kyle Goon: Frank Vogel says Dion Waiters will not play tomorrow. Says it will probably be a few games until he debuts because he hasn’t played for most of the year.
Dave McMenamin: Dion Waiters will participate in pregame shooting drills at Staples Center tonight but there’s no plan to play him against the Bucks, sources tell ESPN. The Lakers intend to take their time with Waiters’ integration so he can get up to speed.
