Latest news and updates about the Lakers
On Tuesday night, LeBron James did something he hasn’t done all season, and that’s play both games of a Lakers back-to-back. It wasn’t a certainty he’d suit up as the Lakers took on the Hawks in Los Angeles. LeBron was listed as questionable and was a game-time decision. However, he went through his routine, which […]

Clutch Sports CEO Rich Paul has said some pretty outlandish things about Austin Reaves and the Lakers on his podcast “Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul.” These hot takes range from suggesting Reaves should be traded in multiple episodes to saying the Lakers aren’t a team, as currently constructed, good enough to make […]

One of the worst-kept secrets in the NBA is that the Lakers are searching for a two-way wing ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline. However, they reportedly aren’t willing to sacrifice the financial flexibility that could await them this offseason unless they can “acquire a real needle-mover at the position,” according to longtime NBA […]

A four-time All-Star point guard ostensibly in his prime has been moved midseason and the NBA’s Feb. 5 trade deadline is just a hair over three weeks away, but that short-term transactional stuff almost feels like an afterthought. That’s because the league is currently rife with drama among some of its biggest names, drama that might not get resolved until the offseason. Here’s the latest from around the NBA — starting with the league’s glamor franchise, the Los Angeles Lakers. ...

Of all the potential spots on a bingo card for how drama was going to come about this season for the Lakers, “the agent of the most prominent player starting a podcast and suggesting to trade players away” was not one of them. But, alas, here we are. While LeBron James’ agent and Klutch Sports […]

LOS ANGELES – It’s no secret that the Lakers are a team that struggles with shooting. They shoot a league-worst 33.7% from beyond the arc and that poor shooting is one of the reasons they entered Tuesday’s game on a three-game losing streak. It’s been said time and time again that the NBA is a […]

Chicago was supposed to be “big sellers,” a lie told about as often as Santa Claus. Isaac Okoro is the most recent name to draw some interest, but could this one actually materialize? We’re about 23 days away from the NBA trade deadline, and all we have so far are rumors and no real transactions. After Trae Young got dealt to the Wizards, we assumed the floodgates would’ve opened, but so far—nada. Why Do the Lakers Want Isaac Okoro? Per Evan Sidery, the Los Angeles Lakers have “...

Bufkin has been a bright spot with the South Bay Lakers this season. In 12 games this season, Bufkin is averaging 26.1 […]

A lackluster effort from the Lakers saw the Kings pick up just their 10th win of the season, 124-112, on Monday. LA led for most of the first quarter, but Sacramento, who came into the game tied with the Pelicans for the fewest wins in the West, took a lead late in the opening period […]

Few things have been more obvious across the NBA over the last year than Jonathan Kuminga having no long-term future with the Warriors. But where his future will take place is entirely unclear.

I think the 3 games in 4 nights caught up to them at the end. Their shots were short. 4 free throws for the Celtics is rather telling. Jaylen Brown was very heated about the lack of calls after the game. I can relate to the fans who hate seeing White on the Celtics. I hurt every time I see Marcus Smart on the Lakers. They were quite complementary of the Celtics. It's funny how they trash their own players until they do something good and then it'...
