The Lakers are waiving Quinndary Weatherspoon, who they signed on Thursday, the team announced.
The 27-year-old shooting guard is likely headed to L.A.’s G League affiliate in South Bay. Assuming he has an Exhibit 10 contract, he can earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he spends at least 60 days with the G League team.
A second-round pick in 2019, Weatherspoon played 31 combined games in two seasons with the Spurs and another 11 for the Warriors before moving on to China last year. He appeared in two games for Maccabi Ra’anana in Israel during the preseason before getting the opportunity with the Lakers.
L.A. is now down to 14 players with fully guaranteed contracts, plus three two-way players, which is how the roster will likely look when the season begins. However, the team could still sign and waive more players before the cutdown date to obtain their G League rights.
