Lakers sign guard Quinndary Weatherspoon

With the 2023-24 preseason nearing its end, the Lakers have made another minor roster move.

The start of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2023-24 regular season is 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 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. On Wednesday, it brought in forward Louis King.

On Thursday, the Lakers made another minor roster move, signing Quinndary Weatherspoon, a 6-foot-3 guard who was a second-round draft pick in 2019.

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.

Warriors waive two-way players Quinndary Weatherspoon and Lester Quinones

After joining the Warriors in 2022, Weatherspoon played in 11 games for the Warriors, averaging 2.7 points on 57.1% shooting from the field with 1.3 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per contest. Weatherspoon has been featured in all four of the Warriors’ recent preseason games. 

Quinones signed a two-way deal with the Warriors after going undrafted out of Memphis in the 2022 NBA draft.

With Weatherspoon and Quinones waived, the Warriors have opened up a pair of two-way spots on their roster. The Warriors will have some flexibility at the bottom of their roster for the remainder of training camp. 

If the Warriors decided to fill their two-way spots with players currently at camp, Jerome Robinson, Ty Jerome and Pat Spencer could be options.

The Warriors will play their final preseason game on Friday against the Denver Nuggets at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
