The Lakers will sign 6-foot-10 center Drew Timme to a two-way contract from their South Bay G League affiliate, a source confirmed to the Southern California News Group on Monday.
The Lakers will waive two-way big man Christian Koloko to make room for Timme’s expected signing, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported, with Timme joining Nick Smith Jr. and Chris Manon as the Lakers’ three two-way players.
Timme, a three-time consensus All-American selection at Gonzaga who is the Bulldogs’ all-time leading scorer, played for the Brooklyn Nets to finish last season after going undrafted in 2023. He averaged 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in nine games (28.2 minutes) with the Nets in 2024-25.
After joining the South Bay Lakers, Timme averaged 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, four assists and 1.2 steals in six games in the G League.
Timme, 25, started his professional career by playing for the G League’s Wisconsin Herd in 2023-24 after signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Milwaukee Bucks to join their training camp.
STATUS UPDATE
Lakers starting center Deandre Ayton has been ruled out of Tuesday night’s home game against the Clippers because of a right knee contusion.
Ayton also sat out of the second half of Sunday’s road win against the Utah Jazz because of the knee injury.
