The undrafted rookie became an internet sensation by taking a selfie with LeBron James. The Lakers signed him after another big moment Friday with Stephen Curry.
After appearing in 58 games during the 2022-23 season, Koloko did not play at all in 2023-24 due to a severe blood clot issue. While the league's fitness-to-play panel has not decided on the center's availability for this season, there is reportedly optimism within the Lakers organization that Koloko will receive good news. That likely factored into the decision to waive Colin Castleton, with rookie guard Quincy Olivari receiving his two-way contract slot.
The Lakers have signed undrafted rookie and preseason standout Quincy Olivari to a two-way contract, his agent, Darrell Comer, told ESPN on Saturday.
