“Do your sh*t, Dennis.” According to Dennis Schröder, that’s how LeBron James encourages the Los Angeles Lakers point guard to keep his foot on the gas — at all times, ideally, regardless of who’s on the court. On Monday against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center, Schröder did his sh*t, once again, driving the Lakers’ […]

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schröder is sitting on valuable information. On Monday, after leading L.A. to a 114-103 victory over the Orlando Magic, the point guard claimed to know precisely when LeBron James will make his long-awaited return to the Lakers’ starting lineup. Being a good company man, though, he refused to spill […]

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 […]

For the most part, the Los Angeles Lakers have hung tough since LeBron James sprained his ankle on March 20. They’ve gone 7-11 over the 18 games, all of which besides the last two — both losses to the Dallas Mavericks — came without Anthony Davis. There have been silver linings during this undermanned stretch. […]

LeBron James may have been on the sidelines for the Los Angeles Lakers’ tilt against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, but Dennis Schroder made sure that his team wasn’t going to miss their superstar too much. Schroder came up with a huge jam early in the fourth period vs the Mavs and it looked […]

Dennis Schroder has been a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for less than a year after being traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder last November. And yet, he’s already shown loyalty to the Lakers, even defending his team against a fan in an unlikely place – the video game live streaming site Twitch. Apparently, […]

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 […]

Even with Anthony Davis back in the lineup, Dennis Schroder and the Los Angeles Lakers still succumbed to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, 115-110. Once owners of the best record in the Western Conference, the reigning champions have dropped all the way to the fifth spot with a 35-24 slate. But as far as Schroder […]

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 […]

The worlds of sports, music and gaming collided on Thursday with the release of the latest trailer for Call of Duty: Warzone, which also teases a different version of the Verdansk map. With the game set to take players to a 1980s version of the Verdansk map to match the plot of Call of Duty: […]

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 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a huge win on Saturday as they took down the league-best Utah Jazz in overtime, 127-115. After the game, LA guard Dennis Schroder had a bit of a message for the rest of the NBA with regards to the Lakers’ status moving forward. Schroder just had to remind everyone […]

On the second leg of a back-to-back at the end of a seven-game road trip — the final five of which came on the East Coast — the Los Angeles Lakers earned a hard-fought, sneakily impressive win over the similarly undermanned Charlotte Hornets, 101-93, at the Spectrum Center on Tuesday. The victory moved the Lakers […]

Boy, oh boy is it a good time to be a fan of the New York Knicks. Julius Randle has blossomed into a legitimate two-way star, RJ Barrett is right behind him, and the rest of the team is really buying into head coach Tom Thibodeau’s rough-and-tumble defensive philosophy. There remains one big flaw, though: […]

On their Monday night encounter, the New York Knicks had their eyes peeled as they observed a particular player of the Los Angeles Lakers not named LeBron James who is expected to make a significant buzz in the upcoming offseason. Head coach Tom Thibodeau and his staff are eyeing to make a run for Lakers […]

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers put together their best performance in the 11 games since LeBron James joined Anthony Davis on the injury list, shocking the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. LA was even more short-handed than usual, playing without Kyle Kuzma (calf strain), Marc Gasol (hamstring), and Wes Matthews (Achilles soreness), in addition […]

The Brooklyn Nets surprisingly lost to the shorthanded Los Angles Lakers in a heated contest on Saturday night. Without LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, or Anthony Davis in the rotation, the Lakers reserves were able to cap off a 126-101 win over the Nets. However, during the game both Kyrie Irving and Dennis Schroder were ejected, […]

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 […]

Through the first half of Saturday’s potential NBA Finals preview at Barclays Center, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder kept pace with Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kyrie Irving, step-for-step. The defending champions were playing especially short-handed—without LeBron James (high ankle sprain), Anthony Davis (calf strain), Kyle Kuzma (calf strain), Wes Matthews (Achilles) and Marc Gasol […]

Kyrie Irving and Dennis Schroder were both ejected during the third quarter of the Brooklyn Nets – Los Angeles Lakers showdown on Saturday night. Asked about his thoughts on the officiating and the ejection of his good buddy, in particular, Kevin Durant offered a pretty blunt response. Via Brian Lewis of The New York Post: […]

The marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets was bound to get testy. Despite the absence of stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and James Harden, it certainly lived up to the billing. In the third quarter, the game got pretty chippy after Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving and Lakers’ point guard Dennis […]

As far as Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Shroder is concerned, his teammate Montrezl Harrell won’t have to shell out his own money to pay for his league-imposed $25,000 fine. After the Lakers’ 110-104 loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday, Schroder was made aware that the reigning Sixth Man of the Year was penalized […]

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 […]

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers visited Tampa to face the displaced Toronto Raptors. The matchup marked the first of a five-game East Coast swing for L.A., who were playing without Andre Drummond (toe) for the third straight game. It could have been another dull affair; the latest underwhelming performance to dismiss as the Lakers […]

Tuesday’s bout between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors featured a heated scuffle between the two teams which resulted in ejections for Montrezl Harrell and OG Anunoby. Dennis Schroder, the guy that started it all, has spoken out about the incident as he shared his post-game thoughts on the matter (h/t Mike Trudell […]

If your glass is half-full: There’s no reason for the Los Angeles Lakers to be concerned about Anthony Davis’ prognosis. However, if you feel like you need to re-fill your beverage of choice as a Lakers fan, you might be a bit uneasy about the recent updates and corresponding buzz surrounding Davis that has emerged […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were unable to resurrect LeBron James on Easter Sunday, and fell to their Staples Center co-tenant, the Los Angeles Clippers, 104-86. Truthfully, the short-handed Lakers — playing without Andre Drummond, nursing a toenail injury — didn’t have a chance against a motivated Clippers team following two straight losses. Rajon Rondo made […]

On the night Kyle Kuzma received his first championship ring, which came minutes before his fourth NBA season began, the Los Angeles Lakers forward had a bonus reason to rejoice. Earlier that December, he signed a three-year, $40 million contract extension. “It’s good being in a situation to have my family set for life,” Kuzma […]

Extension talks between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dennis Schroder have been an interesting topic throughout the season. While the Purple and Gold have offered Schroder an extension, the German guard gave a cryptic response to a comment on Instagram that could give fans insight on what he intends to do. https://twitter.com/LegionHoops/status/1378446962165354498?s=20 Schroder posted a […]

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 […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder wants to explore his options in the upcoming offseason as he reportedly turned down a four-year, $84 million extension with the team, per Bleacher Report. The German national is already playing in the last season of his four-year, $70 million contract signed with the Atlanta Hawks back in the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers did not hide their elation to welcome Andre Drummond into the fold. Following an ugly 96-93 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel could barely contain his giddiness when discussing the addition of Drummond, which was formally announced by the team just before tip-off. OFFICIAL: We […]

The injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis have presented unexpected opportunities for the Los Angeles Lakers’ supporting cast to temporarily step into the spotlight. Until Friday’s 100-86 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Staples Center — their first dub without James this season — it hadn’t gone all that well. But even if they […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder has obviously been learning a lot from teammate LeBron James, evidenced by the epic chasedown rejection he just pulled off against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Staples Center on Friday. Lakers center Montrezl Harrell threw an errant pass around the six-minute mark of the third period, leading to a steal […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been forced to alter several aspects of their game plan in the absence of Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Now that no trades shook up the roster, perhaps the biggest adjustment the shorthanded Lakers need to get accustomed to is a slimmer margin of error. Even before James went down, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers nearly traded Dennis Schröder on Thursday. In the minutes leading up to the deadline, Schröder was still included in a proposed package that would send him, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and draft compensation to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for six-time All-Star Kyle Lowry. The deal fell through, as Toronto (smartly) held firm […]

The dust has settled, and Kyle Lowry is not a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, the Lakers’ roster remains wholly intact (albeit depleted). Lowry ending up in L.A. looked like an increasing possibility in the final hours before Thursday’s trade deadline. The Philadelphia 76ers acquired George Hill, while various reports indicated that […]

Aaahhhh — reports of surprise teams emerging at the last minute: an NBA trade deadline tradition unlike any other. On Wednesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski came in extra-spicy to his trade deadline special with Zach Lowe. Here was the juicy pre-Bomb he dropped, just to wet our beaks. “Kyle Lowry is very much available…Philadelphia, the Miami […]

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers played their first game since LeBron James suffered a high ankle sprain, which has thrown the final eight weeks of their season into unexpected peril. Their first test wasn’t an easy one. The Junior Varsity Lakers faced the Phoenix Suns (28-13) on the road in the second leg of […]
