Four dozen players signed 10-day contracts last season, and while some remain with their NBA teams, others are long gone. Two are reportedly working out for the Lakers today — Sean Kilpatrick and Toure’ Murry — while another, David Wear, signed with Fuenlabrada of Spain, the team announced today (Twitter link; translation via Sportando’s Enea Trapani). Familiar names like Michael Beasley and Nate Robinson are free agents again, while Kenyon Martin, another notable 10-day signee from 2014/15, called it quits.
