  "account": "The Los Angeles Lakers made two minor roster adjustments on Friday, in the wake of their preseason triumph over the Sacramento Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday. The team placed forward William Kyle III on waivers following his brief stint with the franchise. The 6-foot-11 prospect from George Washington University, who was undrafted in June, has been signed to an Exhibit 10 contract. Castro's collegiate statistics include an impressive average of 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.76 steals, and 1.72 blocks per game last season. He was twice named to the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team during his time at George Washington University, achieving these accolades in the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Hailing originally from Dover, New Jersey, Castro's defensive prowess and scoring ability have attracted the attention of the Lakers.",
