Latest news and updates about the Lakers
The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers into town for their annual pilgrimage to Cleveland. The Cavs are playing their best basketball of the season. They’ve won four in a row, seven of their last nine games, and 11 of their last 15. However, that was before it was announced […]

The Lakers were struggling early in January. Los Angeles had lost four of five games, with its only win coming against a mediocre Atlanta Hawks team. In defense of the Lakers, they were playing without Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura also missed some games during this stretch. Still, they looked more like a play-in team […]

Rui Hachimura’s talent is undeniable. He’s an elite shooter who is converting on 43.9% of his 3-point attempts on the season, making him the best perimeter threat on the Lakers. Recently, though, he’s been struggling. His calf injury forced him to miss seven straight games and upon his return, his production dipped. Hachimura averaged just […]

Down nine to start the second quarter in Denver, the team readied to go to the most unproductive bench in the league, scoring-wise. Seizing an opportunity in recent games, two-way center Drew Timme checks in for the Lakers in his new spot in the rotation next to fellow big man Deandre Ayton. His impact was […]

Derrick Rose at the United Center. LeBron James still terrorizing the Chicago Bulls. We’re back in 2012 again, aren’t we? Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers put on an offensive masterclass against Chicago, knocking the Bulls back to a .500 record. But there’s a jam-packed week ahead. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. There’s a lot you can blame for the loss last night. The inability to stop Luka Dončić from… anything (he put up 46 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds) . Or failin...

The Mavericks were 1-1 this past week and remain locked into 12th place in the West. They played both games at home, beating Golden State (123-115) and losing to the Los Angeles Lakers (116-110). Dallas was supposed to fly to Milwaukee for a game on Sunday, but due to inclement weather, the game was postponed. […]

Good morning, it’s Tuesday, January 27th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 28-20 and beat the Orlando Magic yesterday. They host the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow. We hear a certain someone will be in town.

Ironically, on a night when the Bulls seemingly could not miss from three, the Lakers had one of their best defensive performances of the season. The box score does not bear it out too much, but that felt as locked in as the team has been defensively in some time. It tailed off a bit […]

I know, it was probably wrong of me to expect the Chicago Bulls to defend and beat one of the best offenses in the NBA. Especially one where Chicago is staring at two massive mismatches in LeBron James and Luka Dončić. That blind faith came at a cost, paid in full by a Dončić stat line that definitely padded his season averages. Chicago had chances late to make things interesting, but in my opinion, it was too little, too late. The Moment that the Bulls Lost the Game The Chicago...

Luka Dončić poured in 46 points and the Lakers put together one of their better defensive performances of the season as they knocked off the Bulls in Chicago, 129-118. LA shot 56.1% from the field and 16-33 from the 3-point line. Defensively, they forced 15 turnovers, 12 in the first half, turning it into 23 […]

Our 23-22 Chicago Bulls have quietly pieced together a four-game win streak, despite being without best player Josh Giddey for two of those victories. Tonight, they’ll look to extend that run to five straight against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers (27-17), who come in in having gone just 4-6 over their last 10 contests. On the court, the Lakers have looked anything but defensive. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for their image off the court. LA has been mired in some off-court cont...

Coming into the season, one of the biggest questions surrounding the team was who would be the fifth starter with the debate centered on Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart. While the Lakers don’t feel all that much closer to finding the solution, one thing they appeared to have landed on is Rui coming off the […]

On Saturday night, January 24th, 2026, the Los Angeles Lakers came to town with their new franchise star, Luka Dončić, for his second trip back to Dallas since the trade that shattered everything. In just a few days, we’ll mark the one-year anniversary of that midnight surrender — the moment Dončić was sent away for […]

With the NBA’s trade deadline fast approaching, so is the Lakers’ next chance to reshape their roster in Luka Dončić‘s image. After an offseason that did little to clarify the team’s long-term outlook, many pointed to this deadline and the upcoming summer as the transactional periods that would officially usher in the team’s new chapter. […]

Everything had to go right for the Lakers down the stretch to beat the Mavericks. With Dallas going on a 6-0 run to start the fourth, LA was down by 14 with just under 10 minutes left. The comeback that followed as the Lakers beat Dallas 116-110 was improbable given the flow of the game. […]

UPDATE: The Lakers did, in fact, make it out of Dallas, getting through half the battle, at least. The team took off from Dallas-Fort Worth instead of Love Field, allowing them to get out of Dallas when the Mavericks could not. This doesn’t mean the Lakers-Bulls go is definitely on for Monday, but it does […]

The Dallas Mavericks had a quick turnaround after a 116-110 loss to the Lakers Saturday night. The original plan was for the Mavericks to fly from Dallas to Milwaukee after last night’s game, for their 6 p.m. game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. The massive snowstorm affecting a significant portion of the United States […]

As a role player, Marcus Smart’s job is fairly simple: play hard on defense, hit your open shots and be a banshee. That means doing all the dirty work that goes unnoticed so the Lakers can be in a position to win games. What also went unnoticed was a bit of medical work he did […]

The Dallas Mavericks (19-27) travel to Milwaukee to play the Bucks (18-26) after losing to Luka Doncic’s Lakers on Saturday. The Mavs had their four-game win streak snapped by the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 116-110 Saturday night in Dallas. It was a very weird, up-and-down game, with the Lakers jumping on the Mavericks early, Dallas storming back in the third quarter, then the Lakers returning the favor in the fourth. This was former Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s first game back […]

It was a fun night inside a very frozen American Airlines Center in Dallas. Although the visiting Los Angeles Lakers were able to pull out a 116-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas fans were once again able to welcome one of their own back home. Luka Doncic returned to Dallas as a visitor […]

While there is still much the Lakers have to figure out with their roster and lineup, it does appear they’ve found a solution to some of their bench scoring woes. Upon his return from injury, Rui Hachimura came off the bench as he was playing under a minutes restriction. However, as many thought would be […]

What a truly hilarious and odd game from the Lakers. If you simply fell asleep at halftime and woke up for the final minutes of the contest, you’d think it was a straightforward, comfortable win where the Lakers controlled things throughout. Across the first, second and fourth quarters, the Lakers outscored the Mavs 112-75. They […]
