Los Angeles Lakers Assign Player To G League
Before the game, the Lakers announced that they had made a roster move by assigning Adou Thiero to the G League (South Bay).
Via Dan Woike of The Athletic: “Adou Thiero has been assigned to South Bay – could be an opportunity to get him more practice time and maybe live opportunities. Will ask JJ about that here in a few”

Thiero was the 36th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft (out of Arkansas).
He finished his final season of college basketball with averages of 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 54.5% from the field in 27 games (26 starts).
Via Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet: “Adou Thiero has been cleared for live on-court contact work, with 5-on-5 coming next. He’s been assigned to South Bay. JJ Redick said he’s excited about how Thiero can eventually impact the Lakers with his size, athleticism and motor.”
