The Los Angeles Lakers waived guard Troy Daniels on Sunday, clearing a roster spot that could fortify the franchise's postseason roster.

The Lakers have no imminent plans to sign a player, but worked with Daniels' agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports, to give the team that roster flexibility, and possibly find Daniels another team for which he can play a more prominent role for the rest of the season.

"Rob [Pelinka] and Kurt [Rambis] were fantastic in giving Troy optionality based upon all the scenarios that could play out in the coming weeks," Bartelstein told ESPN.

Absolutely one of the hardest decisions of my life. But it was best for ME..! I've been tested in my life before and I have came out the storm on my feet every time. What a pleasure it was to be apart of such a unbelievable organization of the @Lakers pic.twitter.com/FA5ldRiDF1

Sunday is the NBA's deadline for players to be waived and become eligible to be added to postseason rosters. The Lakers can still add another player to their postseason roster, as long as he isn't on an NBA roster beyond Sunday.

The team plans to meet with free-agent guard Dion Waiters soon, a source told ESPN, to gauge his preparedness to contribute to a championship contender.

Daniels, 28, averaged 4 points in 11 minutes this season.
