Latest news and updates about the Lakers
Even under the best of circumstances, the Lakers probably came into Saturday’s game feeling a bit run down. An unorthodox schedule means they’re amidst a four-game road trip where the longest trip is Utah with multiple stops in Phoenix. But more often than not, they’re spending nights back in LA, even if they’re not playing […]

UPDATE: The Lakers have ruled out Rui Hachimura for Saturday’s game with right groin soreness, they announced on Saturday morning.

In basketball, just like in relationships, communication is key. For the Lakers, hearing what head coach JJ Redick wants to have happen during close games has been an issue.

During the second quarter of Los Angeles’ game against Utah, Walter Clayton Jr. collided with LeBron James’ knee, causing him to fall to the ground. James was slow to get up and was walking gingerly, trying to shake it off. Somehow, he was relatively okay, and he played the rest of the game. After the […]

The Lakers’ elimination from the NBA Cup meant there wasn’t as much game action for the purple and gold over the last week as the tournament wrapped up in Las Vegas. LA had just one game against the Suns and they took care of business despite blowing a comfortable fourth-quarter lead. Overall, it was a […]

A rival role player turned Laker is a tale as old as time. Whether it was Metta World Peace, Matt Barnes or Rajon Rondo, Lakers fans have had to clench their teeth and bear it with new signings throughout the years. A particularly bitter recent pill would have seen Bruce Brown join the Lakers immediately […]

And just like that, the Lakers are short another guard. Gabe Vincent was practicing earlier this week with Los Angeles, but he appeared on the injury report for their upcoming matchup against the Jazz as questionable with low back soreness. Now, it’s escalated even more with the team stating he’ll be out with lower back […]

If the Lakers are going to begin a winning streak during their road trip, they’ll have to do it without two of their starters. Austin Reaves is currently out with a left calf strain.

Even with deep changes in their squad this summer Wolfsburg remain a very strong team, especially when playing at home.

In the Jay-Z song “30 Something” the Brooklyn lyricist made entering his 30s sound like a man beginning to reach his prime. That might be true for Sean Carter, who can continue to rap and build up his business empire, but in sports, that ideology doesn’t work as well. The Lakers have the oldest player […]

There is plenty of blame to spread all around for the Lakers blowing a 20-point lead in the fourth and turning their matchup against the Suns into a nailbiter. Marcus Smart is certainly one of the culprits. He had an awful no-look pass attempt to Jarred Vanderbilt that landed right in the hands of Grayson […]

After weeks on the outside looking in, Jarred Vanderbilt re-entered the Lakers rotation against the Suns. He took full advantage of that opportunity, showing the best version of himself by attacking the glass relentlessly and creating havoc defensively. In nearly every sense, it was the best-case scenario for Vando in his return. He made the […]

In a tense back-and-forth contest in Philly, Sixer star Joel Embiid nails a jumper to tie the game with just over a minute remaining. In every other stint of his unprecedented 23-season career, this would be LeBron James’ time. Instead, without even a glance at the ball, he jogs up the floor to his position […]
