— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 1, 2026Grimes 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.

>A product of both University of Kansas and University of Houston, Grimes has built a reputation as a reliable two-way guard capable of defending multiple positions while providing perimeter shooting and secondary scoring.

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