Overview
- ClutchPoints, citing league sources, reports the Lakers are working to complete a two-way contract with Drew Timme.
- LA is not expected to cut Nick Smith Jr., so the open slot would come from waiving either Christian Koloko or Chris Manon.
- Drew Timme has starred for the South Bay Lakers, earning player of the week honors and averaging about 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4.7 assists in a 3-0 start.
- Timme logged nine games with the Brooklyn Nets last season, averaging 12.1 points and 7.2 rebounds before being waived in October and joining South Bay.
- No official team announcement had been made as of the latest reporting, and two-way rules would allow Timme to split time between the Lakers and their G League affiliate.
