Reporter: Walker Kessler will meet with Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly have a meeting scheduled with Jalen Duren, one of the centers who has been linked to them in recent weeks. Duren, 22, had a breakout season with the Detroit Pistons and was named to the NBA All-Star Game, and he averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds a game.

Another starting-level center who has been linked to the Lakers is Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz. He will reportedly meet with teams in Los Angeles once the NBA's free agency period officially begins on Tuesday, and the Lakers will reportedly be one of those teams, according to Evan Sidery.
