Quentin Grimes Likes That Lakers Have Each Other’s Backs

Los Angeles Lakers guard Quentin Grimes praised the team's growing chemistry, highlighting that players already have each other's backs across practices, games, and team events. With one preseason contest remaining before their regular-season opener on October 21, Grimes emphasized that this collective support will be crucial over an 82-game campaign as a newly assembled roster learns to play together.

Grimes also cited head coach JJ Redick as the primary selling point for signing with the Lakers in free agency, pointing to the offensive freedom Redick provides. The new-look roster, which features offseason additions like Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, and Matisse Thybulle, continues building on-court connections with core stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
