The Los Angeles Lakers waived center Trey Jemison on Monday.

The NBA team parted ways with the former UAB standout after he had two points, nine rebounds and three assists in three games with Los Angeles’ team in the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas over the previous 11 days.

Jemison also had three points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocked shots in two games for the Lakers in the California Classic Summer League in the first week of July.

Jemison joined Los Angeles on a two-way contract on Jan. 18. In 22 games with the Lakers in the 2024-25 season, Jemison averaged 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds.

The Lakers picked up Jemison after the New Orleans Pelicans released him on Jan. 9. In 16 games with New Orleans, Jemison averaged 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds.

A prep standout at Homewood and Hoover before averaging 9.1 points and 8.4 rebounds in his final season at UAB, Jemison was playing for the NBA Gatorade League’s Birmingham Squadron during the 2023-24 season when his 11.8-rebounds-per-game average attracted the attention of the NBA’s worst rebounding team.

The Washington Wizards signed the center to a 10-day contract on Jan. 20, 2024. Jemison didn’t get much of a chance with the Wizards, though. During his 10-day stay, he played one minute across two games. But the day that contract ran out, Jemison signed another 10-day deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, who had been hit by an epidemic of injuries.

This time, Jemison got to play, and when his 10-day contract expired, Memphis signed him to a two-way contract.

With the Grizzlies, Jemison played in 23 games, with 14 starts. He made 55.1 percent of his shots as he averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

The Grizzlies waived Jemison on July 24, 2024. The Pelicans claimed his contract off the waiver wire, bringing him back to New Orleans after he’d attended training camp with the team as a rookie.
