Latest news and updates about the Lakers
During the four games Rui Hachimura has played in since returning from his calf injury, his play hasn’t necessarily impressed. The Lakers forward is averaging 7.8 points, and shooting just 31.3% from 3-point range. Those numbers are a far cry from his season averages of 12.1 points per game and 42.9% shooting percentage from deep. […]

There’s been a lot of rumors about other teams’ interest in Michael Porter Jr. (latest reportedly from Milwaukee) and Nic Claxton (as always from the Lakers) and even Day’Ron Sharpe (at least historically from Boston), but nothing about Cam Thomas. Thomas famously exercised his qualifying offer back in the summer and less famously switched agents […]

Perhaps head coach JJ Redick’s pregame speech should be spent convincing the team that every game is actually the second night of a back-to-back. Bizarrely, the team’s last two wins came the night after blowout defeats. And each time, they looked great in those contests, responding with their own blowout wins. And the opponent both […]
For the second time in a week, the Lakers had a bounceback performance on the second night of a back-to-back, beating the Raptors 110-93 on Sunday.

A nice overall game flow is not what fans saw when the Lakers played the Blazers on Saturday night. The whistle was active and erratic during the opening quarter.

The Lakers find themselves in a precarious situation. This year’s roster needs upgrades. However, the Lakers don’t have much in the way of sweeteners to make those improvements. Misses on Jalen Hood-Schifino and Dalton Knecht mean the young prospects aren’t there to put into trade packages and undoing the Russell Westbrook trade and making the […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ 132-116 win over the Los Angeles Lakers was simple on Saturday night.

In context, this was a pretty understandable loss for the Lakers. Amidst a tough portion of the schedule with some notable injuries, it wasn’t a shock to see the Lakers come up short on Saturday against the Blazers.

The Lakers were routed by the Portland Trail Blazers, 132-116, on Saturday night. Without Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes, the Lakers were forced to go deep into their bench. While there were some standout offensive performances, the Lakers ultimately could muster little resistance defensively. It was a Maxi Kleber takeover from […]
The Portland Trail Blazers took a double-digit lead in the first quarter and never looked back, surviving a few half-hearted scares to top the Luka-less Los Angeles Lakers (say that five times fast) 132-116. With Deni Avdija out again with a back injury (and seen sitting on the sideline in an elevated chair), Portland got […]

UPDATE: Well, as if the week wasn’t going poorly enough already, the Lakers are severely depleted in the front court against the Blazers on Saturday evening. Over the course of the day, both Jaxson Hayes and Deandre Ayton were ruled out for the Lakers. Each was listed as questionable coming into the game. Ayton was […]
