Latest news and updates about the Lakers
At Madison Square Garden, the Knicks (31*-18) shook off a middling first half, outscored the Lakers 60–44 after halftime, and survived 15 lead changes to claim their sixth straight win, 112–100. From the jump, L.A. attacked home plate and New York tried their luck from the outfield. The strategy showed promise with the first two […]
The Knicks (30*-18), riding a five-game win streak, welcome the Lakers (29-18) to Madison Garden Tonight. A national audience will tune in to see Luka Dončić and LeBron James, leaders of a Los Angeles team that scores brilliant and defends much less so.

The Lakers will have another player besides Luka Dončić representing them at the All-Star game. LeBron James wasn’t named an All-Star starter, but he made the team as a reserve.

League coaches vote for All-Star reserves wholly with...

There are just a few certainties in this world. Death, taxes and no one understanding what the Kings are doing.

The fast-approaching trade deadline has a way of making small things feel much bigger. This week, the Lakers were linked to De’Andre Hunter and the rumors rapidly picked up of their interest in the wing. There were rumors of a framework of a deal surrounding some combination of Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht and Hunter, but […]
The Wizards took on the Los Angeles in the hostile road environment of…well…Washington, DC, and got stomped, 142-111. If you’re a Wizards fan — and you probably are if you’re reading this — fire this game into the sun. Shoot into a memory hole. Nothing to see. There’s stuff from this one the Wizards youngsters […]
Nothing like playing the Wizards to make a team look elite. Los Angeles destroyed Washington on Friday night, with Luka Dončić ending the first half with a triple-double.

Austin Reaves, on […]
The Washington Wizards play the Los Angeles Lakers at 7 p.m. tonight at Capital One Arena. Watch the game on Monumental Sports Network.
The Lakers have struggled without Austin Reaves. They’ve gone 9-8 during his time away due to his calf strain, unable to stack wins against the NBA’s top teams. Considering that Reaves is averaging 26.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, his productivity should help bolster the Lakers’ offense and lighten the load for […]
Luka Dončić was almost seriously hurt in LA’s loss in Cleveland. He took a stepback three and fell because the floor was raised, injuring his ankle. This is an uncommon scenario in the NBA. Typically, the court extends to the point where falling off it would be impossible. Luka had to be taken out of […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing their best basketball of the season, but are reportedly still looking to upgrade their roster ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
