Patrick Beverley, just like the rest of the NBA world, couldn’t believe that Jayson Tatum’s clear foul on LeBron James in the final seconds of the Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics game was not called. In fact, he even brought a professional camera to show the obvious hit. With the game tied at 105-105 and with […]

Despite the fact that LeBron James is on the wrong side of his 30s, there’s no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar still remains to be one of the top players in the game today. Well, not for Stephen Jackson, though. The 44-year-old former NBA journeyman recently named the best five players in the […]

It has now been a month since Lonnie Walker IV last suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers. The 24-year-old appears to be making significant progress on his road to recovery from a knee injury of late, and there was initially a slim chance that he was going to be able to suit up on […]

At least by his standards, Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James had a hard time finding the bottom of the net against the Spurs on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers (23-26, 13th) have been making slight headway in the Western Conference, but could still use some help on the perimeter. Austin Reaves (10.8 points per game) could provide some-needed reinforcement in that area, but his most recent injury status update offers little clarity on when he could be expected back on […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Rui Hachimura trade might have decreased the team’s chances of signing a star free agent in the upcoming offseason.

The 1976-77 scoring champion would play 10 seasons in the league before retiring at the end of the 1979-1980 season due to persistent injuries. However, anybody you ask about “Pistol” Pete says […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James definitely knows how to market a product.

It has been a roller-coaster season for the Chicago Bulls, who sit at 22-26 with just under two weeks to go until the 2023 NBA trade deadline.

For the second game in a row, late-game execution was a problem for the Boston Celtics.

The Los Angeles Lakers addressed an area of need (in theory) by trading for Rui Hachimura on Monday — kicking off the NBA’s unofficial trade season and hopefully jump-starting the market ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline.

Los Angeles Lakers fans were hyped to hear the news that Anthony Davis is now expected to make his highly-anticipated return to action on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs.

He scored 46 points — on 16-for-29 shooting from the field and 9-for-14 from three-point range — dished out seven assists, and grabbed eight rebounds in the team’s 133-115 loss. So when the Lakers host Keldon Johnson, Jakob Poeltl, and the Spurs […]
