Lakers re-sign backup center DJ Mbenga

Latimes.com is reporting that the Lakers have re-signed backup center DJ Mbenga. According to the blog, the contract is yet unknown and DJ is expected to battle for minutes with center Chris Mihm, who is looking healthy. Another lakers blogger, Eric Pincus, writes, " The terms of his contract have yet to be released. As such, it's not clear if his contract is guaranteed or if he has to earn a spot on the final roster. Mbenga joins Andrew Bynum and Chris Mihm as the team's third center. Power forward Pau Gasol is also expected to also play center throughout the season. Mbenga provides a more defensive-minded option while Mihm continues to work his way back from a devastating ankle injury. The word around the Lakers' facility is that Mihm is looking healthy."
