After a frustrating loss against the Nuggets, the Lakers respond by beating the Pacers 128-117. The game began with Jay Huff draining a 3-pointer for the Pacers. Rui Hachimura responded with a triple on the other end. Each team’s offense was strong, with both shooting 50%. Indiana was leading by two at the 6:32 mark. […]
LeBron James, Deandre Ayton, Maxi Kleber out vs. Pacers
All of a sudden, the Lakers’ upcoming contest against the Pacers looks like a much tougher game. Los Angeles is playing on the second night of a back-to-back and will be taking on Indiana without LeBron James, Deandre Ayton and Maxi Kleber. The trio was ruled out on Friday afternoon. The Lakers will now have […]

LeBron James says elbow ‘pretty sore’ after fall during Nuggets loss

Deandre Ayton exits Suns game with left knee soreness
The Lakers might just be cursed to always have an injury. After a short string of games where they had a clean injury report, they came away from Thursday’s game against the Nuggets with plenty of bumps and bruises to go along with their loss. Two starters did not finish the game, one being LeBron, […]
Player Grades: Lakers vs. Nuggets
Don’t let the score fool you. The Lakers never had a shot in this one. The Nuggets started the game on an 11-0 and never trailed. Anytime LA made a push, Denver responded and closed the door. When Deandre Ayton played, he was bad, and when Lakers head coach JJ Redick went to players he […]
Lakers fail to convert down stretch, fall in Denver
A game of runs came down to the final minute between the Lakers and Nuggets with Denver edging out a 120-113 win. Trailing by three in the final 90 seconds of the game, Marcus Smart missed a pair of open threes. Nikola Jokić scored at the rim with 22 seconds left to make it a […]
2026 NBA mock draft roundup: A first look at potential draftees
The Lakers have optionality this summer in part because they kept their first round picks at the trade deadline. This year’s draft is expected to be one of the best in some time. LA has a first round pick, so it’s a perfect time to gather some information on who they may be targeting with […]
Edwin’s Journal: Calm before the storm
With 21 games left, there is still much to be decided for the Lakers. On the long road that is the NBA season, LA can see the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference standings is just a game-and-a-half away. However, the objects in their rearview are closer than they appear as they are also […]

JJ Redick praised Jaxson Hayes for a ‘really good season’ after win over Pelicans
After getting benched in the Lakers’ playoff series last year, most assumed Jaxson Hayes’ playing days in LA were done. Not only did Hayes return on a one-year deal, but he also prepared in the summer to be a better version of himself. He put on 20 pounds to give himself some more strength, and […]
JJ Redick explained way Pelicans game was unlike recent wins for Lakers
All season long, the Lakers have proven that if they are leading entering the fourth quarter, they will finish the game strong and win. This year, Los Angeles is 27-1 when in front entering the final period, by far the best winning percentage in the Western Conference. But what about when they are trailing as […]
Lakers turn to defense in fourth quarter to beat Pelicans
LOS ANGELES — The last thing anyone would call this iteration of the Lakers is a good defensive team. They have a defensive rating of 116 on the season, placing them 22nd in the NBA. Progress in this department has been minimal at best. But against the Pelicans, the Lakers’ defense came up big. Trailing by […]
Player Grades: Lakers vs. Pelicans
The Lakers are securely at the point of the season where winning by any means necessary is the objective. After a pair of easy wins over the Warriors and Kings, they had to grit one out on Tuesday to knock off the Pelicans. After a very unserious three quarters, the Lakers turned it up to […]

JJ Redick threw shade at national media coverage of Lakers
The Lakers are never going to get a fair shake when it comes to national media coverage. This isn’t a new revelation. In fact, the very topic of this article has already been written about by our own Darius Soriano just two months ago. And while there’s lots of season left to play and things […]
Rui Hachimura tried to replace LeBron in Lakers pregame ritual and it went terribly wrong
The Lakers’ pregame routine has gone viral across social media this season. Led by LeBron James, the Lakers wrap up their warm-up with a bit of synchronisation before walking off the floor. Is it a bit silly? Sure. But basketball is a game and not everything has to be serious. It’s a fun tradition the […]
The Lakers schedule is about to test how good they are
The Los Angeles Lakers still have a lot left to play for. Although 60 games are already in the books, the upcoming final weeks of the regular season possess a choose-your-own-adventure number of outcomes for their playoff position. If they have a switch to flip, now is the time do it. Smack dab in the […]
How Maxi Kleber made a big impact in his short shift
LOS ANGELES — On the season, Maxi Kleber has only played in 34 of the Lakers’ 59 games and averages fewer than 11 minutes per contest in those appearances. On Sunday night, he brought life to every second he played. While LA had both of its top centers available, Jaxson Hayes found himself in early foul […]
Player Grades: Lakers vs. Kings
It’s been a very long time since the Lakers had blowouts like this in consecutive games. You have to go back to mid-November to even find games with margins similar to this, but these Lakers did it in back-to-back days. You can easily discredit it by saying this is what they should be doing against […]
