Sent to G League
The Lakers assigned Thiero (knee) to their G League affiliate South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Thiero is recovering from a knee injury he sustained toward the end of his college career before being selected by the Lakers in the 2025 NBA Draft. The wing was expected to be ready for the start of training camp, but his recovery has slowed substantially. Per Dan Woike of The Athletic, Thiero has been cleared for on-court contact work, and the next step in his progression is being cleared for 5-on-5 work. He'll be incorporated into team practices over the next week, starting in South Bay.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should be ready for camp
Thiero didn't play in the Summer League while recovering from a knee injury sustained in college, but should be ready for the start of training camp in the fall, according to Dan Woike of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old power forward was selected with the 36th pick in this year's draft and was part of the seven-team deal that sent Kevin Durant from Phoenix to Houston. Thiero, who spent his final year of college with Kentucky, will need to prove himself as a defensive stalwart to have a realistic chance of seeing minutes with the Lakers as a rookie, Woike adds. He averaged 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 54.5 percent over 27 games during the 2024-25 season with Kentucky.
