Unfortunately, Embiid might need to form a separate list of […]

The 2020-21 NBA season has been an up-and-down one for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Dennis Schroder was the MVP for the Los Angeles Lakers in Saturday’s wacky 127-115 OT victory over the extremely shorthanded Utah Jazz at Staples Center (with fans in attendance, for the second time).

Obviously, Luka’s epic game-winner on Thursday deserves […]
