Cook will be rested for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Frank Vogel has elected to rest the team's top rotational players, which leaves Alex Caruso to start at point guard in the absence of Cook, Rajon Rondo and LeBron James. Demetrius Jackson should be in line for an expanded role as well.

Cook contributed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 126-93 preseason victory over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Coming up against his former team, Cook got hot from the perimeter, nailing 4-of-5 three-pointers. He ended with 16 points in just 15 minutes, a number that is unlikely to be a common feature this season. The game was basically over by half time which meant fringe guys like Cook were able to see additional run. He can score the basketball when given the opportunity but given he is somewhat buried on the depth chart, managers shouldn't expect too much moving forward.

Cook is out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Warriors due to a sore left calf, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook agreed Saturday with the Lakers on a two-year, $6 million contract, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook became an unrestricted free agent after Golden State rescinded their qualifying offer Wednesday. The 26-year-old was a key reserve in 2018-19, appearing in 74 contests and averaging 6.9 points, 2. rebounds and 1.6 assists in 14.3 minutes. On a Lakers squad lacking in quality depth at point guard, Cook should have a strong opportunity to see the largest share of playing time of his career.

The Warriors rescinded Cook's qualifying offer Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Golden State will no longer retain the right to match any offer sheet Cook might sign with any of the league's other 29 teams, eliminating a potential obstacle in the 26-year-old's efforts to secure a new contract. The point guard proved valuable in a bench role for Golden State the past two seasons and suited up in 74 contests in 2018-19, averaging 6.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 14.3 minutes per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from distance. He shouldn't have a trouble catching on as a backup guard elsewhere.

EDGE Analysis
