LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13, 2006 - The Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League have acquired forward T.J. Cummings and waived forward Duane Erwin.

Cummings, a D-League veteran and son of former NBA great Terry Cummings, was waived by the Albuquerque Thunderbirds on December 9 after playing in seven games (five starts) and averaging 22.9 minutes, 13.6 points and 3.6 rebounds. A member of the Albuquerque 2006 D-League championship team, Cummings played in 55 overall games (29 starts) for the T-Birds, averaging 24.6 minutes, 12.7 points and 6.1 rebounds. He played his college basketball at UCLA, averaging 12.8 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting .552 from the field (sixth in the Pac-10) as a senior.

Erwin played in nine games for Los Angeles, averaging 15.3 minutes, 3.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots. A starter for the first three games this season, Erwin's minutes had dwindled to less than 10 per game over the last four contests.

Cummings is expected to be in uniform when the D-Fenders (5-4) are host to Idaho (1-6) on Friday at the STAPLES Center.
