Austin Reaves is currently playing in the biggest season of his young career. Reaves, like many other Lakers, is on an expiring contract. In the summer, he turned down the maximum extension the Lakers offered him, setting up this to be a make-or-break season for the guard. Reaves declining the deal made perfect sense. The Lakers, […]

It’s almost time for Adou Thiero to make his rookie debut. Lakers head coach JJ Redick stated before the team’s game against the Hornets that Thiero could play during the team’s current road trip.

Kon Knueppel finished an assist shy of a triple double, but sloppy play caused the Charlotte Hornets to lose to the Los Angeles Lakers. The summary A track meet broke out to start the game.

After knowing right away that the Lakers weren’t going to win on Saturday against Atlanta, the opening minutes of Monday’s game against the Hornets were going to be notable. While it wasn’t a “blow you away” type of performance from LA, it was a far more serious approach. Impressively — and improbably — it was […]

Who doesn’t love a good bit of mystery surrounding LeBron James? While the Lakers are on a five-game road trip, LeBron is moving forward in his rehab back in Los Angeles. That progression includes the need to play in a 5-on-5 setting. Well, if the actual Lakers are in Charlotte, then the next best option […]

While much of the discussion about the Lakers’ injuries has centered on Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and LeBron James, they aren’t the only ones who have missed time. Gabe Vincent opened the season (controversially) in the starting lineup before suffering an injury midway through the third game of the season. That sprained ankle against the […]

While JJ Redick’s postgame press conference was quite funny in its brevity, there was something to take away from his answers, too. The most memorable moment came at the end of the presser when, after being asked if he realized during the third quarter that the Lakers weren’t going to win, he said he could […]

With the Lakers entering Atlanta as one of the hottest teams in the NBA and the Hawks having Trae Young, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, Luke Kennard and Kristaps Porzingis all out, it was easy to assume this game would be an LA win. It seems the Lakers felt the same and played accordingly. From the […]

Turns out the Lakers won’t be going 80-2 this season. Even if their win streak wasn’t going to last forever, there were more ceremonious ways for it to end. But even if the Lakers knew firsthand the dangers of playing against a severely undermanned team, they certainly overlooked the Hawks on Saturday and paid a […]

JJ Redick is not someone who handles losses well. He’s already admitted to spending nights alone in his dark basement when the Lakers lose. Saturday, then, probably didn’t do wonders for his mental health. The Lakers looked lackadaisical from the start against the Hawks and a fiesty, undermanned Atlanta team put them to the blade. […]

While the Lakers are finding success seemingly regardless of how many of their Big 3 are out, getting them back on the court together obviously remains a high priority. LeBron James remained in Los Angeles during the Lakers road trip to continue his rehab as he moves closer and closer to a return. Austin Reaves, […]

While there were a lot of unfair criticisms lobbied his way, one of the more fair — and persistent — critiques of Luka Dončić has been his defense. Throughout his career, Luka’s defense has come under fire time and time again. While there is no expectation of him being a top defender given his offensive […]
