Lakers Sign Quincy Olivari to Two-Way Contract

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed undrafted guard Quincy Olivari to a two-way contract following his impressive preseason performances, where he scored 22 points in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. Olivari's strong showing included leading the Lakers in a previous game with 11 fourth-quarter points against the Milwaukee Bucks, highlighting his potential. To accommodate Olivari's contract, the Lakers waived second-year center Colin Castleton. Head coach JJ Redick has expressed optimism about Olivari's capabilities and his fit within the team. Despite the Lakers' recent struggles, Olivari's determination and positive attitude have garnered him respect from the coaching staff and teammates. The franchise hopes to capitalize on undrafted talents like Olivari, especially in a challenging trade environment under the current CBA.
