Quinn Cook

Quinn Cook pitched in 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3PT), four boards, two assists, and one steal in Friday night's blowout loss to the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

This game was wrapped up by halftime, but Cook served as one of the lone bright spots in his first appearance with Cleveland. He looked efficient shooting the ball, scoring a season-high 13 points in 16 minutes. Cook would be worth adding in deeper formats if Collin Sexton and/or Darius Garland were to miss time, but belongs on the waiver wire for now.

Quinn Cook has re-signed with the Los Angeles Lakers per Shams Charania.

Fantasy Impact

Cook, who was originally due $3 million with $1 million guaranteed, was waived by the Lakers back in November in an effort to decrease their cap hit and free up some cash before free agency. They were able to bring him back at a lesser number this time around. The 27-year old averaged 5.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 11.5 minutes per contest last year and won't have much fantasy value this upcoming season.

Quinn Cook is being waived by the Los Angeles Lakers, per Shams Charania. He had a non-guaranteed season for 2020-2021.

Fantasy Impact

Cook's contract was worth $3 million, with $1 million being guaranteed, so the Lakers will be saving $2 million ahead of free agency with the move. The 27-year old averaged 5.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 11.5 minutes per contest last season with the Los Angeles.

Quinn Cook scored 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3PT) with one rebound in Saturday night’s 116-111 loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Cook benefited from the absence of Danny Green and DNP - Coach’s Decision of J.R. Smith and Dion Waiters, to provide his best performance since the restart. Cook did exactly what the Lakers wanted from him, catch and shoot. With a full healthy lineup, expect Cook to stay on the bench behind Green, J.R. Smith, Waiters and Alex Caruso.

Quinn Cook slid into the starting lineup Thursday and scored six points (2-12 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-3 3PT) with three rebounds, four assists and two turnovers across 29 minutes in loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

The Lakers were without primary ball-handler LeBron James in this one, so Cook got the spot-start at point guard. He played almost 30 minutes, but didn't make the most of his opportunity. He was averaging just five minutes per game in his previous three, and he'll likely head right back to the bench when James returns to the starting lineup.
