Lakers G League player wears his jersey while getting his Master's degree
Lakers G League player wears his jersey while getting his Master's degree Many NBA players put off getting their full college education in order to chase their dreams of basketball stardom. Some times they don't work out, and even when they do, plenty of them eventually return to school to get their degrees. But one player in the Los Angeles Lakers' organization not only got his bachelor's degree but also completed his master's degree as well. He did the latter back in December at Xavier University and earned a master's in sport administration. This weekend, Olivari officially received his master's degree, and he wore a Lakers jersey underneath his graduation gown at the ceremony. The guard played for the Lakers in last year's summer league and signed an Exhibit 10 contract with them. After looking impressive during the exhibition season, he earned a two-way contract with them, and even though he was waived in January, he remained with their G League affiliate. He has made himself stand out thanks to his positive energy and infectious attitude. Even if he doesn't make it with the Purple and Gold, he should have a good chance of sticking with another team.

Meet Pat Spencer, the NBA's most unlikely player who went from lacrosse legend to the League
Article content Spencer's stats (5.7 points per game in 13.6 minutes) didn't pop with Capital City, but he shot 39% on three-point attempts and intrigued the Warriors franchise enough that they traded for his rights. He would go on to play a handful of games for the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors in 2022-23, 43 more the next year (along with his call-up to the NBA) and six this year when he wasn't up with the Warriors. To get to the point where he's playing in games in the second round of the NBA playoffs (which will likely continue with superstar point guard Stephen Curry out short-term due to an injury), Spencer had to make a G League team via a tryout, battle through some injuries, sign an Exhibit 10 deal with the Warriors, turn that into a two-way deal and then an NBA contract late this season (Toronto's Jamison Battle charted a similar path with the Raptors this year, but he's five years younger than Spencer and was still considered an older rookie). Warriors guard and former @NUMensBball and @LoyolaMLAX star Pat Spencer gets some shots up during shootaround. Spencer will likely see an elevated role with Stephen Curry out of the lineup. — Jake Epstein (@Jakeepste1n) May 8, 2025

Bulls sign undrafted guard Jahmir Young to two-way contract
Former Maryland guard Jahmir Young has reportedly agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Young signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Denver Nuggets after going undrafted last year. He played five games with the Nuggets in the NBA Summer and was with the team in training camp before joining the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League to begin the season. The 24-year-old is averaging 22.4 points, 7.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds and two steals on 47.6% shooting from the field in 30 games with the Gold. He has registered four 30-point games, including a career-high 40 points and 10 assists on Feb. 12 in a loss to the Capital City Go-Go. Young played the first three years of college at Charlotte before transferring to Maryland for two seasons. He totaled 1,421 points at Charlotte and 1,205 points at Maryland, becoming the sixth player since 2006 to tally at least 1,000 points at two institutions. Advertisement The 6-foot-1 guard was named to the All-Big Ten first-team after averaging a career-high 20.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals on 32.4% shooting from 3-point range in 32 games as a fifth-year senior. He was third in the conference in scoring and free throws (198). Young signed with the Bulls after the team waived two-way center Adama Sanogo, who will reportedly miss at least four weeks with a knee injury. He will likely see some time with the Windy City Bulls in the G League. This article originally appeared on Rookie Wire: Bulls news: Undrafted Jahmir Young signed to two-way contract
