Lakers sign Quincy Olivari to two-way contract, waive Colin Castleton

Rookie Quincy Olivari capped his preseason with the one thing he wanted more than anything else — a job.

The Lakers signed Olivari to a two-way contract Saturday, waiving center Colin Castleton to create a spot for one of the best stories of the team’s preseason.

Olivari, a 6-foot-3 guard from Xavier, had an eventful three weeks with the team. First, he became an unlikely internet star on media day after getting caught on live TV taking a selfie with LeBron James. Then Olivari sparked a 20-0 run in a comeback win in Milwaukee.
