The Los Angeles Lakers have struck a deal to bring in free-agent guard Quentin Grimes on a contract worth $60 million, according to multiple reports on Monday.
The agreement, reached on the opening day of the 2026 free-agency period, will move the former Philadelphia 76ers backcourt player to Los Angeles. Specific terms of the deal’s length were not disclosed.
Grimes, who spent last season with the 76ers, will add depth to a Lakers backcourt that already features established veterans and emerging young talent. The signing is part of Los Angeles’ ongoing efforts to strengthen its roster after missing the playoffs last season.
League rules allow free-agent contracts to be officially signed after the league’s moratorium period ends later this week. Grimes is expected to finalize the paperwork at that time.
No further details about potential team or player options were immediately available.
