The Los Angeles Lakers did not hide their elation to welcome Andre Drummond into the fold.

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).

The Philadelphia 76ers acquired George Hill, while various reports indicated that […]

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.

The Atlanta Hawks snapped the Los Angeles Lakers’ four-game winning streak on Saturday, but that was far from the most significant development at Staples Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Los Angeles Lakers limped into the All-Star break, both literally with missing Anthony Davis (injured) and with the results, losing two straight entering the break. They have emerged from the brief hiatus winning three straight out of the gates, with the Lakers’ defense stepping up big without Davis. They held the uptempo Warriors to […]

Kyle Kuzma called the Los Angeles Lakers’ first half a “win.” All things considered, he’s right. They’re 24-13 with the league’s best defense, despite rarely fielding their best effort.
