Latest news and updates about the Lakers
In a season defined by their resiliency, the Lakers ended the year in a fitting manner. With their backs firmly against the wall, the team responded with its stiffest punch. LA knocked OKC back on its heels in the third quarter for the first time this series, then went toe-to-toe with them in the fourth. […]
With their season on the line, the Lakers played with the necessary desperation to try to extend it one more game. Even after it looked like the third quarter was headed down a familiar path, LA righted the ship and actually won that quarter. The result was a fourth quarter worthy of a playoff game […]
On the brink of elimination, the Lakers went down swinging. LA overcame its second-half woes and took OKC all the way to the final minute before losing late, 115-110, as the Thunder completed the sweep.

The 2026 NBA Playoffs resume today with two games. One matchup still has some suspense left. The other, relatively little. The Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers will meet for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference series. Detroit leads 2-1, but the Cavs have a chance to tie it tonight.

Well, there it is. If it wasn't official already, it is now. The Milwaukee Bucks are officially "open for business" on taking offers from teams on a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are officially open for business again on fielding Giannis Antetokounmpo trade offers, per @ShamsCharania . The Cavaliers, Celtics, Heat, Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves, and Warriors will be among the large list of teams expected to call Milwaukee. pic.twitter.com/3VJxe1QKiq — Evan Sidery (@esid...
The Lakers’ pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo at the trade deadline this year was rather mundane. Without any real firepower to offer in a deal, they were quite far away from a competitive offer. LA was limited to just one first and a host of expiring salaries they could offer. Even if one of those included […]
In the first round, it was the Lakers who were up 3-0 over the Rockets, looking to complete a sweep. Now, in the second round, they are on the other side, looking to avoid going out in four games against the Thunder. So far, the odds don’t look so good. Not only have the Lakers […]
The Celtics joined the Lakers, Knicks, Cavaliers and Timberwolves in pursuing Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA trade deadline in February, according to Shams Charania. ESPN also indicated that disappointing postseason finishes for some of those teams — Boston the only one eliminated already — could dictate pursuits this summer. The Bucks will listen […]
The disrespect continues for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the Timberwolves clawed back to even their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs at two games apiece, the latest NBA title odds dropped, and Minnesota somehow ended up with the longest odds of any remotely viable contender left standing. I’m excluding the Lakers who […]

Sunday’s NBA draft lottery provided a bit of a surprise and some unfortunate good luck for the Clippers, who saw the Thunder not jump into the top four while also having the Pacers slip, resulting in the other LA team picking fifth. The Wizards secured the top pick, a familiar place for an Anthony Davis […]
In what’s become a far too familiar script, the Lakers fell to the Thunder in Saturday’s Game 3 and now trail 3-0. A deficit that’s never been overcome in NBA history. LA’s season is now on the brink of ending on Monday as they attempt to extend the series back to Oklahoma City in Game […]

The Los Angeles Lakers' season is still far from over, but new Anthony Davis rumors may have fans eying this summer.
The Lakers headed into Game 3 in search of proof. Proof that they could find a strategy that worked. Proof that they could find a lineup that clicked. Proof that they could beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. By the end of Saturday night, the only proof they had was that they could not do any […]
LOS ANGELES — The location of the Thunder-Lakers series switched from OKC to LA, but nothing else changed. It was still a contest where the Lakers had to play to perfection to win and the Thunder just had to be good enough. Like the other matchups, it went OKC’s way as they won 131-108 to […]
While it doesn’t make the losses feel any more frustrating in the moment, there is something comforting in the long run knowing that the team you’re losing to is just a better team. It was apparent before Saturday, but Game 3 made it abundantly clear that the Lakers are simply levels below the Thunder. LA […]
