Spencer Dinwiddie’s journey through the NBA has taken another turn as he prepares to join the Los Angeles Lakers following his release from the Toronto Raptors. The news, first reported by Shams Charania, comes after Dinwiddie cleared waivers, allowing him to choose his next destination.
The Lakers emerged as the frontrunners in the pursuit of Dinwiddie, with several playoff-contending teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, also expressing interest in acquiring his services. Dinwiddie’s potential significant role on the Lakers roster was a key factor in his decision to sign with the team.
Dinwiddie’s previous stint in the Western Conference with the Dallas Mavericks saw him deliver pivotal playoff performances during the team’s run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. His experience and success in the West likely played a role in his decision to join the Lakers, a team with a storied history and championship aspirations.
With the Lakers currently sitting at a record of 28-26, Dinwiddie’s addition brings depth and talent to a team looking to solidify its position in the highly competitive Western Conference. His versatile skill set and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively make him a valuable asset for the Lakers as they look to make a push for the playoffs.
Dinwiddie’s stats from his previous stint with the Brooklyn Nets showcase his ability to make an impact on the court. With season averages of 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game, Dinwiddie brings scoring, playmaking, and leadership to the Lakers roster.

Dinwiddie’s playoff performance with the Dallas Mavericks showcased his ability to shine on the big stage. Averaging 14.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting an impressive 41.7% from the field and 41.7% from beyond the arc, Dinwiddie played a significant role in guiding the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals. His playoff experience and clutch performances make him a valuable addition to the Lakers roster.
Joining forces with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as well as his former teammate D’Angelo Russell, Dinwiddie brings another dimension to the Lakers’ offense. His three-point shooting prowess adds much-needed spacing to the floor, providing additional scoring opportunities for the team’s stars.
Despite making no trades leading up to the signing, the Lakers have managed to acquire one of the most talented players available in the buyout market. With the team facing challenges due to injuries, including the absence of Jarred Vanderbilt, Lakers management recognized the need to bolster the roster for the remainder of the season.
As the Lakers continue to pursue additional shooting and defensive reinforcements, the addition of Dinwiddie signals their commitment to contending for a championship. With a revamped roster and renewed energy, Lakers fans are eagerly anticipating the impact Dinwiddie will make as the team gears up for a playoff push.
