Getting warmer. The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t set a target date for LeBron James to return to the lineup, and the organization has provided few details on his recovery. Officially, the message was more of the same from Frank Vogel on Monday. In his pregame Zoom with reporters, the coach was asked to give an […]

Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis made his much-anticipated return to the court recently after sustaining a serious, calf injury. Davis was on the sideline for so long that when he played again there was something new with the team – a 6’10, 279-pound addition in the form of Andre Drummond. Davis spoke […]

Anthony Davis is back. Rusty, no doubt. But back. Following a two-month absence, Davis made his long-awaited return to the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting lineup on Thursday. Davis said he felt “100 percent healthy” on Wednesday, yet Frank Vogel kept his word and capped his workload at 17 first-half minutes in L.A.’s 115-110 loss to […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis finally made his long-awaited return in their game against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.

For 15 minutes against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, and with 14 games left in the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to welcome back Anthony Davis to the lineup. Frank Vogel confirmed that Anthony Davis, if he has no soreness in the morning, will start tomorrow vs. Dallas and be on […]

Los Angeles Lakers All-Star Anthony Davis spoke to the media on Wednesday following the team’s 14th practice of the season. Davis has remained around the Lakers since re-aggravating his calf/Achilles, but the unannounced Zoom was his first time speaking to reporters in roughly two months. After sitting out the past 30 games, Davis is expected […]

Playing for a franchise with a huge market is always a good thing for NBA players. The allure of having more media coverage and a lot of fans watching your every move will definitely do wonders for a baller’s career. Just take a look at guys who gave suited up for teams like the Boston […]

Andre Drummond has played a handful of games for the Los Angeles Lakers already since joining the team as a free agent a few weeks back. He’s taken some time to make the necessary adjustments with his new team, and Drummond has recently opened up about how life has been in LA. Drummond acknowledged that […]

It looks like it’s not just fans of the Los Angeles Lakers who are looking forward to the return of Anthony Davis. Per Lakers Nation’s Ryan Ward, newcomer Andre Drummond is excited for a reunion with the superstar big man, which could be coming sooner rather than later: Andre Drummond on Anthony Davis: "Played with […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are surely ecstatic to welcome LeBron James and Anthony Davis back into the fold. Davis (Achilles/calf) has been out since Feb. 14, James (ankle) since March 20. Since LeBron went down, the Lakers have scrapped for seven wins in 16 games, signed a starting center and backup wing, and dealt with […]

His Airness. The King. The Greek Freak. An awesome nickname is a cherry on top for NBA players. They help provide an aura of mystique and usually represent a key facet of that player’s game. However, not all players were fortunate enough to be bestowed with such monikers. Look no further than Los Angeles Lakers center […]

Andre Drummond hasn’t been playing for the Los Angeles Lakers for very long, but he’s already making his mark. In six games so far, Drummond is averaging 12.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks. The Lakers center is also sporting a new look in the form of a flashy new grill: https://t.co/QtSCPaf5xw New team, new […]

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). Another resilient and gritty win for the short-handed Lakers (despite the Jazz DNPs), 127-115. After giving up the lead late in the […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma is baffled why Andre Drummond’s old teams let go of such a phenomenal talent. Prior to the Lakers’ hosting of the Boston Celtics on Thursday, Kuzma did not hold back in criticizing the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers for giving up on the two-time All-Star. As far as […]

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Boston Celtics. Drummond, who the Lakers previously acquired via the buyout market, is still recovering from the toe injury he hurt versus the Milwaukee Bucks in his debut.  Drummond’s toe was stepped on during the Brooklyn Nets game where he […]

The newest acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers in center Andre Drummond will still need more time to adjust to his new team in order to be more effective. On Tuesday night, he came out with a disappointing performance but remained optimistic that he will be able to get his groove sooner than later, especially […]

Los Angeles Lakers big man Andre Drummond is nicknamed “The Big Penguin” for some reason. It sounds odd. It’s so unusual, even Drummond himself doesn’t exactly know why. But as it turns out, penguins are actually one of his favorite animals. Drummond made the all-important, mind-shattering revelation after the Lakers’ 101-93 win over the Charlotte […]

There’s a cliché in the NFL: If you have two quarterbacks, you have none. Over in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers, as currently constituted, have three centers: Andre Drummond, Marc Gasol, and Montrezl Harrell. When Anthony Davis (calf strain) returns and slides to the 5 for large chunks of playoff games, they’ll have four. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers competed against the Brooklyn Nets in a national TV affair on Saturday night. In a game where LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Kyle Kuzma were sidelined, it was believed the Nets would stroll through this game for an easy win, even with James Harden out himself. Instead, the shorthanded Lakers took […]

The Los Angeles Lakers franchise has been home to some of the greatest centers in NBA history. However, not a lot of them managed to do what Lakers newcomer Andre Drummond just accomplished on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. In just his third official game as a member of the Purple and Gold, the 27-year-old […]

If there’s one play that could give you an idea of how the Los Angeles Lakers-Brooklyn Nets blockbuster went down, it’s when Andre Drummond absolutely bullied LaMarcus Aldridge down on the block. LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma definitely enjoyed seeing that as they flexed their muscles after Drummond’s weight room bucket over Aldridge. […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving just has a knack for finishing tough shots inside the paint. On Saturday, it did not matter that Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond was standing in his way. In the first half of the encounter between the two juggernaut teams at Barclays Center, Irving found himself deep in the […]

Los Angeles Lakers’ recently acquired center Andre Drummond flexed his skills against Brooklyn Nets’ fellow buyout acquisition LaMarcus Aldridge on Saturday. The newest Laker scored a dribble hook shot in front of Aldridge’s face, giving his team an advantage in the first quarter.  Drummond and Aldridge were considered two of the biggest acquisitions during the […]

Technically, Thursday’s matchup with the Miami Heat was Andre Drummond’s second appearance for the Los Angeles Lakers. For all intents and purposes, though, the Finals rematch at AmericanAirlines Arena was Drummond’s first full game with the defending champions (well, what’s left of them). The two-time All-Star was signed via buyout two Sundays ago and suited up […]

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler felt a bit disrespected after Los Angeles Lakers big man Andre Drummond switched on him in their game on Thursday. So much so that after knocking down a jumper right in Drummond’s face, Butler had some choice words. After being switched, Drummond, being much slower than Butler, remained cautious and […]

There’s no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers are in a tough spot right now. Injuries to their stars have led to this team slipping down in the standings out West. However, in the mind of the great Charles Barkley, it’s only a matter of time before a full-strength LA side starts dominating the league […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were a tad shorthanded on Thursday as they faced off against the Miami Heat in a rematch of the 2020 NBA Finals. As such, new LA recruit Andre Drummond decided to take on some point guard duties for the defending champs. Here’s a look at Drummond leading a transition break for […]

Since revising their timetable for Anthony Davis’ return from a right calf strain on multiple occasions, the Los Angeles Lakers haven’t gone into much detail on when AD and LeBron James (high ankle sprain) will return to the floor. Frank Vogel and the team have stuck to ruling out James “indefinitely” and providing sparse details […]

Midway through the Los Angeles Lakers’ inspired performance over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, the team announced the signing of Ben McLemore to a rest-of-season contract. McLemore, who was bought out by the Houston Rockets on Saturday, will fill the team’s final roster spot. He’s the second buyout addition for the defending champions, who stood […]

Los Angeles Lakers newcomer Andre Drummond will be back in the rotation for Thursday’s game against the Miami Heat. The source? Andre Drummond. The two-time All-Star posted an Instagram saying he is “still missing a toenail” but also promising his return to the Lakers’ lineup:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared […]

Los Angeles Lakers veteran center Marc Gasol made a statement in Tuesday night’s win over the Toronto Raptors. Gasol had been displaced as the starter when the Lakers signed Andre Drummond. But he regained that spot after Drummond suffered a toe injury in his first game with the team. Gasol dominated the Raptors on both […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have continued to add talent to the roster as the defending NBA Champions are looking to repeat this time around. With injuries also playing a factor as of late, the Lakers most recently landed veteran center Andre Drummond, who previously spent time with both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons. However, […]

Still out with a toe injury, Los Angeles Lakers big man Andre Drummond had some ample time to sit and reflect about Easter. He wasn’t shy to share his query with his Twitter followers. Drummond sent out a survey about participating in an Easter egg hunt despite being over 25 years old. Drummond seems serious […]

Andre Drummond’s missing toenail is far more than just a cosmetic concern, according to Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel. “He’s still having trouble putting his shoe on the first two days through it,” Vogel told reporters via Zoom, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “He’s just not there yet. He’s still in a great […]

Marc Gasol said he was committed to the Los Angeles Lakers for the rest of the 2020-21 season — though he sounded decidedly non-committal when he uttered the words on Friday night. It’s been a roller-coaster stretch for the 36-year old. First, a quick recap: Gasol started at center in his first 38 appearances with […]

After signing center Andre Drummond, the Los Angeles Lakers have one open roster spot remaining, presumably to be filled with a second addition from the buyout market (unless they buyout Marc Gasol, then they’ll have two spots). The 2020-21 Lakers, like any team, always could have used a few tweaks, but since LeBron James joined […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got some good news on Thursday regarding their newly-signed center, Andre Drummond. Specifically, his toenail. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin and Adrian Wojnarowski, Drummond is expected to miss no more than one or two games with a nauseating right toe injury. Drummond — who was signed by L.A. on Sunday via […]

The post-NBA trade deadline moves were almost as intriguing as some of the actual trades that were made throughout the league. The Brooklyn Nets started the season with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving headlining their lineup. They then traded for James Harden and scooped up both LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin on the buyout market. […]

Andre Drummond made his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers (30-18) on Wednesday. Well, half of a debut. Drummond is 6-foot-10, but he faced an even taller order in his first game at his new job: deal with the reigning MVP, as L.A. hosted Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks (30-17) at Staples Center. In […]
