G League Star Timme Shines Amidst Laker Injuries
19 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Gabe Vincent cleared to return after 11-game absence.
- Drew Timme named G League Player of the Week for his performance.
- Timme averaged 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists for South Bay.
The Los Angeles Lakers are navigating a challenging start to the season, hampered by significant player injuries. Key members like Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves have faced time off the court, and LeBron James is yet to debut as he recovers from a back injury.
In contrast, the South Bay Lakers, the team's G League affiliate, are experiencing success thanks to the standout play of Drew Timme. He was recently named G League Player of the Week for his remarkable offensive output, leading South Bay to victory with impressive scoring and all-around stats.
Timme's strong performances, including prior NBA experience, suggest he could be nearing another opportunity at the highest level, potentially even with the injury-plagued Lakers.
