The Los Angeles Lakers continued adding to their roster Wednesday by agreeing to terms with free agent guard Quentin Grimes.

Grimes has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract with the Lakers, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal includes a player option.

Grimes, 26, is coming off a season with the Philadelphia 76ers in which he averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 75 games.

Throughout his five-year NBA career, the 6-foot-4 guard has averaged 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting a career 36.6% from 3.

Grimes also reunites with Luka Dončić after his brief stint in Dallas in 2024.

The former first-round pick showed his scoring upside during the 2024-25 season, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists over 28 games with an injury-plagued Philadelphia team after being traded from the Mavericks. 

That stretch demonstrated his ability to take on a larger offensive role when given increased minutes.

His versatility should make him a seamless fit alongside Dončić and Austin Reaves as the Lakers continue strengthening their roster.
