LOS ANGELES - Backup guard Quinn Cook has been waived by the Los Angeles Lakers. Cook averaged 2.1 points while appearing in 16 games this season for the Lakers, who also waived him in November before re-signing him in December. Before joining the Lakers in 2019, Cook spent two seasons with Golden State. Cook’s departure opens a second roster spot for the Lakers, whose need for a backup centre has seemed obvious lately. Marc Gasol has started 32 games for Los Angeles, and All-Star big man Anthony Davis is out for at least three more weeks with a calf injury.
