Lakers Sign Jahmir Young and Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones to Training Camp Deals

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed guard Jahmir Young and forward Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones to Exhibit 10 training camp deals following the release of Cole Swider. Young, a 26-year-old point guard, is entering his third NBA season after spending last year with the Miami Heat and their G League affiliate, where he averaged 25.9 points and 8.5 assists per game.

Tait-Jones, a 25-year-old forward, played his last two college seasons at UC San Diego and went undrafted in 2025. He recently played for Valmiera Glass VIA in the Estonia-Latvia Basketball League, where he was named MVP of the championship after averaging 15.9 points and 6.9 rebounds.

Both players have the opportunity to earn bonuses of up to $91,000 if waived before the season and spend at least 60 days with the Coachella Valley Lakers in the G League.
