Lakers And Warriors NBA Champion Signs With New Team

Quinn Cook has signed with a team in Puerto Rico.

Quinn Cook most recently played in the NBA during the 2020-21 season when he appeared in 23 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.

That year, he averaged 3.3 points per contest while shooting 42.6% from the field and 42.3% from the three-point range.

He has spent the last few seasons playing overseas, and on Wednesday, it was announced that Cook had signed with Gigantes de Carolina BSN (h/t Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype). 

Cook initially went undrafted in 2015 after an excellent four-year college career at Duke.

During the 2015 season, he helped the Blue Devils win the NCAA Championship over Wisconsin. 

He eventually made the NBA in 2017 and played part of five seasons for the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks (in addition to the Lakers and Cavs). 

During his second season, Cook was a significant role player for the Warriors, and averaged 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per contest while shooting 48.4% from the field and 44.2% from the three-point range in 33 games (18 starts). 

He played in 17 playoff games that season and helped the Warriors defeat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA Championship.
