NBA injuries are the hottest subject in sports this week. Even the return of LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers and the potential return of Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers after early-season injuries can’t overcome the tidal wave of bad news for Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and other NBA stars. A national radio host […]
For some time now, retirement has felt like a very real possibility for LeBron James. He is currently in the last year of his Lakers contract and he didn’t ask for an extension, a break from the norm in his Lakers tenure. LeBron hasn’t flat-out stated he’d play next year or that this is his […]

After losing Deandre Ayton at halftime, the Lakers needed someone to step up in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Jazz. Few people likely expected Maxi Kleber to be that player. After not playing in the first half, Kleber provided big minutes on both ends of the court in the second half, leading […]
The Utah Jazz just had of the most gut-wrenching losses of the season on Sunday against the Lakers. With one last chance to tie or take the lead, a Keyonte George fall after making contact with Marcus Smart blew the play up before it even started. It was the Jazz’s third loss in a row. […]

When executed correctly, it blends excellent timing with athleticism to create a highlight play that almost always gets fans on their feet. When executed correctly.

One of the surprises of the season, Deandre Ayton has become an important piece for the Lakers this season.

Ayton played in the first half in Utah for the purple and gold, but remained in the locker room at […]
After controlling the game for most of the second half, the Lakers survived a frenzied rally from the Jazz late to hold on to a 108-106 win. The Lakers built their biggest lead of the game, 13, in the fourth, but then saw a huge Jazz run in the final seconds trim the deficit down […]
Typically, a head coach has two key responsibilities with his players. The first is to find a way to maximize their talent. The other is to do so while still making the team as good as they can. But LeBron James presents Lakers head coach JJ Redick with a unique scenario. LeBron has seen it […]
Sitting at 11-4 after their first 15 games, the Lakers are feeling pretty good about themselves. Luka Dončić is dancing. Austin Reaves is embracing. And LeBron James is meshing. Although the vibes are vibing, the next chapter of the season may be more indicative of who this team actually is now that it is whole. That said, there are things we […]
When Mark Walter and Guggenheim Partners purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers from Frank McCourt, it ushered in a brand new chapter of Dodgers baseball that has now resulted in them at the top of the baseball summit for two consecutive years and three out of the last six.

An odd scheduling quirk for the Lakers this week left them with a good bit of time off between games. After playing on Tuesday, the Lakers have been off and won’t play again until Sunday. While they’ve spent plenty of time practicing this week, they also took some time away from the court to be […]

The Lakers aren’t just finding success in the win-loss column. They have tremendous chemistry on and off the court.

After […]
After winning the NBA G League Player of the Week with the South Bay Lakers, forward Drew Timme is headed up to the big club on a two-way contract (per ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel). Most likely, the Los Angeles Lakers and general manager Rob Pelinka are to cut center Christian Koloko to make room for Timme. […]
It seems the Lakers will add a new two-way player to their roster, signing Drew Timme. The Lakers already have all three of their two-way spots filled, so someone will have to be dropped to make room for him. Brett Siegel of Clutch Points was the first to report on this development. He states that […]
