The Los Angeles Lakers waived Quinn Cook a few weeks ago, but have had a change of heart. The team re-signed the guard yesterday.
Last season with the Lakers, Cook played in 44 games, coming off the bench for 43 of them, for an average of 5.1 points (.425 FG%), 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.5 minutes per outing.
Over the course of his NBA career, playing for the Lakers, Mavericks, Pelicans and Warriors, Cook in 165 games has an average of 6.8 points (.463 FG%, .407 3FG%), 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15.1 minutes.
Huge Lakers news came a few days ago, with the team formally re-signing superstar forwards LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Neither move was a surprise, but big transactions becoming official is always a relief.
