Drew Timme explains the intriguing shirt selection after the Raptors game
On Sunday night, The Los Angeles Lakers are back into the win column with a comfortable home victory over the Toronto Raptors. And Luka Dončić and LeBron James played on the other end of back-to-back in this one, and the Lakers were able to pull away late, moving their record to 25-16 on the season.
The Lakers gave up some rotation minutes to reserve the big man Drew Timme in the last few games following a frontcourt injury, and Timme has mostly played well, scoring 21 points in a recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
After Sunday’s win against Toronto, Tim showed up to his postgame press conference wearing a “Sexual Tyrannosaurus” T-shirt, which featured understandably asked about.
Timme then gave an explanation for the clothes.
“I’m not big on fashion. This is a Predator movie reference… This is my fashion,” Timme told Oh No He Didn’t on X, formerly Twitter, via Hoop Central.
Tim was a standout big man for several years at Gonzaga, and he’s started getting more opportunities at the NBA level in recent seasons, raising some eyebrows during the 2024-25 campaign with his play with the Brooklyn Nets and now doing the same with the Lakers, though he had a much quieter night against the Raptors on Sunday, scoring just three points.
Still, JJ Redick will be happy to know he has another good big man on the roster moving forward, with Deandre Ayton and Jaxon Hayes dealing with injuries and inconsistent play of late.
In any case, the Lakers will next take the floor on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. That contest is scheduled to begin at 10:00 PM ET from the Mile High City.
