Lakers reach deal with rookie center Robert Upshaw

Undrafted free agent center Robert Upshaw and the Los Angeles Lakers reached an agreement on a two-year deal, league sources informed.

The seven-footer would have been a lottery pick had he not been kicked off of two collegiate programs (Fresno State and Washington) for disciplinary reasons.

In 19 games for the Huskies last season, Upshaw averaged 10.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 blocks.
