The Lakers Made A Life-Changing Roster Choice

They made a big decision over the weekend.

While it might not be a choice that will definitely send them to the Finals, it’s a pretty important one for the player involved.

Matt Ryan has made the opening night roster for the Lakers, according to inside reports.

You might not have heard of Ryan before but his story is something special and the fact that he is now playing on a professional NBA team is quite stunning and inspiring.

Ryan’s Redemption

Ryan has been a solid presence for the Lakers during the preseason, shooting 37.5% from the three-point line and putting up a 20-point performance last week.

Because of his hard work and output, head coach Darvin Ham had faith in the player and granted him precious first-half minutes.

Just a year-and-a-half ago, Ryan couldn’t even get an invite to the NBA G League after going undrafted.

At the time, he was working at a cemetery and driving for DoorDash to make ends meet.

He would eventually get his foot in the door with a signing to the Grand Rapids Gold in October of 2021.

After a strong showing with the Celtics during the Summer League, Ryan made his way west to the Lakers and now he is about to be on the team’s roster as the new season kicks off.

It’s been quite a journey for Ryan – and maybe it’s just begun.
