Timme had played for the Lakers' G League team, the South Bay Lakers, and posted averages of 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 25.5 minutes during six games."
"The 6-10 Timme played his college basketball at Gonzaga. "I talked to [Lakers president of basketball operations] Rob [Pelinka] and everyone yesterday, last night and they told me," Timme said after the Lakers' shoot-around Tuesday. "I was just super excited. It's super cool." Jaxson Hayes will start at center in place of Ayton in the NBA Cup game."
