Drew Timme is without a contract as of August 2026 after concluding the 2025-26 season on a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite strong performances in the G League, where he averaged 23.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, Timme's ambiguity in position and NBA role complicates his free agency. The Lakers noted he had moments as a rotation player, but he did not secure a standard contract.
