Lakers' Quincy Olivari Nears Historic Curry Brand Endorsement Deal
The rookie guard is set to become the second active NBA player to sign with Stephen Curry's $4 billion brand, even as Lakers fans question his limited role on the team.
- Quincy Olivari, a 23-year-old rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers, is finalizing a shoe endorsement deal with Stephen Curry's Curry Brand under Under Armour.
- Olivari will join Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox as the only active NBA players signed to Curry Brand, with Fox debuting his signature shoe this week.
- The deal represents a full-circle moment for Olivari, who idolized Curry as a child and once slept with a signed Curry jersey.
- Despite his preseason breakout performance, including a 22-point game against Curry's Warriors, Olivari has seen limited opportunities with the Lakers, frustrating fans who believe his skills could address the team’s struggles.
- Olivari has excelled in the G League, averaging 23 points, six assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game, further fueling calls for a larger role with the Lakers.
