Lakers sign guard Quinndary Weatherspoon
The start of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2023-24 regular season schedule is just five days away, and things are ramping up in anticipation of what they’re hoping will be a triumphant year.
The team is gearing up by whittling down its roster and rotations ahead of its final preseason game on Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns. It recently waived guard Scotty Pippen Jr, guard Damion Baugh and forward Vincent Valerio-Bodon, and on Wednesday, it brought in forward Louis King.
On Thursday, the Lakers made another minor roster move by signing Quinndary Weatherspoon, a 6-foot-3 guard who was a second-round draft pick in 2019.
Los Angeles Lakers are signing guard Quinndary Weatherspoon, his agent Daniel Hazan tells @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. Weatherspoon averaged 15.5 points, shot 52 percent and 40 percent from distance in two NBA preseason games while playing for Israeli club Maccabee Ra’anana.

Weatherspoon has played for two NBA teams, including the 2021-22 world champion Golden State Warriors, and he also spent some time in the G League that season with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
