Around the West: Sizing up the conference behind the Lakers
The Lakers sit atop the Western Conference with a 9‑2 record after a five‑game streak, thanks to MVP‑level play from Luka Dončić, All‑NBA guard Austin Reaves and a thriving supporting cast led by Walker Kessler. Yet they’re not alone: the Spurs (8‑2, +12.2 net rating) ride an eight‑game winning streak, the Warriors (7‑3) string together seven straight victories behind Stephen Curry’s 31.3 PPG, and the Thunder (8‑2) rebound from injuries. The piece previews the West’s top five teams, their recent runs, key players, and how they stack up against Los Angeles moving forward.

Warriors guard Will Richard out indefinitely with ligament tear in thumb
The Warriors confirm guard Will Richard will miss an indefinite stretch after tearing the ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. Richard, a second‑year player who was averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and shooting 47.5% from the field in 10 games, joins Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis on the injured list. A 2023 study suggests thumb UCL tears sideline players an average of 7.4 weeks. With no clear replacement for his point‑of‑attack defense, Steve Kerr may lean on Gary Payton II and give extra minutes to two‑way wing Malevy Leons.

The Warriors close their six‑game homestand on Monday, Nov. 9, at 7:00 PM PT with a clash against the New Orleans Pelicans at Chase Center. The game streams on NBA TV and NBC Sports Bay Area. Golden State, now 7‑3 after a 41‑point, overtime win over Orlando, aims to sweep the homestand but must improve rebounding— the Magic previously out‑rebounded them 24‑3. The Pelicans will be without Zion Williamson (rest) and Trey Murphy, while projected starters feature Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Brandin Podziemski for the Dubs, and Dejounte Murray and Saddiq Bey for New Orleans. The matchup offers a chance for the Warriors to address second‑chance woes and extend their winning streak.

Knicks Notes: Towns, Bridges, Shamet, Brunson
Jalen Brunson earns Eastern Conference Player of the Week, but Karl‑Anthony Towns is the Knicks’ MVP after nine games, posting career‑high shooting splits (62.4% two‑pointers, 43.6% threes, 56.5% overall) and leading the league with 10.2 defensive rebounds per game. Coach Mike Brown credits Towns’ basketball IQ and staff guidance for his defensive rise. Meanwhile, Mikal Bridges struggles with poor shooting and a career‑low 26.0 MPG, while Landry Shamet, a former playoff hero, scores nine points in a 109‑97 win over Cleveland.

Brandon Ingram nearing return to Clippers lineup, speaks out on recovery
Brandon Ingram says he is "pretty close" to rejoining the LA Clippers after six months of rehab for a bone spur and partially torn Achilles suffered in May. He’s been practicing full‑contact three‑on‑three and five‑on‑five, and feels his heel is improving, though no exact return date is set. The Clippers, who opened the season with a win but have since lost seven straight and rank near the bottom in second‑through‑fourth quarter net ratings, hope Ingram and returning teammate Yanic Konan Niederhasuer will boost scoring and relieve pressure on Darius Garland and Rui Hachimura. The team faces the Phoenix Suns Tuesday and the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday as they await Ingram’s clearance.
“Not Thinking About Fans”: Mavs Minority Owner Mark Cuban Exposes Adam Silver’s NBA Priorities
Mark Cuban warns that the NBA is losing focus on fans, affordability and community as it chases higher franchise valuations. On The Jameis Winston Show, the Mavericks minority owner praised his Harbinger Fund’s role in giving liquidity to small stakeholders, but warned that growing private‑equity ownership—allowed under new rules letting firms hold stakes in up to eight teams—could erode the fan experience. Cuban recalls earlier league talks about family‑friendly tickets and youth engagement, now overtaken by profit metrics. While he admits he’s benefited from rising values, he argues that true ownership belongs to the fans and that the league’s priorities must reflect that.
