The news was confirmed by his agents, Deddrick Faison and Rich Gray.\n\nTimme averaged 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists this season with the Lakers&#8217; G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. He stood out during training, even when LeBron James was on a rehabilitation assignment with South Bay.\n\nTimme signed with the Brooklyn Nets in March after playing for the Stockton Kings of the G League. He averaged 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in nine games to close out the season with Brooklyn, starting twice.\n\nAt 25 years old, Timme was a prominent figure in college, being a two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year and Gonzaga&#8217;s all-time leading scorer with 2,307 points in four seasons.\n\nTimme was not selected in the 2023 draft and began his professional career playing for the Wisconsin Herd of the G League in 2023-24, after signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Milwaukee Bucks to join their training camp.\n\nTo make room for Timme, the Lakers waived center Christian Koloko.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakers Secure Interior Reinforcement Amid Ayton&#8217;s Absence The Los Angeles Lakers have added a new interior player to their roster this Monday, just as they prepare to face the short-term absence of their starting center, Deandre Ayton.
