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 […]

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. Undoubtedly, the most important moment of the defending champions’ day–and season, to this point–came with 10:48 remaining in the second quarter. As MVP frontrunner LeBron James attempted […]

Point guard Dennis Schroder of the Los Angeles Lakers is brutally honest. If you have any doubts about that fact, ask Dwight Howard and Mike Budenholzer about his time on the Hawks. Or recall what Dennis Schroder said about expecting to start when he was traded to Los Angeles from the Thunder. Dennis Schroder is […]

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. L.A. has flaws — shooting, rim protection, wing depth — but it’s difficult to gauge how pernicious those will be when the games really count, as […]

Following a win on February 28, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James lamented the continued absence of fans at Staples Center. “It just gives you an extra boost,” he told reporters. “I would love for us to start having fans here in California, especially here at Staples. It would just add so much for us.” […]

Halfway through his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dennis Schröder has already proven his worth. In 33 games, Schröder is averaging 14.9 points and 4.5 assists. The Lakers are 7-7 without Anthony Davis, but 7-3 as long as Schröder is playing. This Schroder move on D-Book 👀 (via @Lakers)pic.twitter.com/18EHhTTFYh — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) […]

After being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dennis Schroder quickly became an important part of the Lakers’ roster. It’s been speculated he may leave after this season however, as back in December he turned down a contract extension. That may just be a thing of the past though, as Dennis Schroder recently bought a […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got off to a surprisingly flying start to the 2020-21 regular season despite a mentally taxing championship run that ended in mid-October, a uniquely abbreviated offseason, and the acclimation of multiple rotation pieces. In addition to being the best defensive team in the league (where they remain, per defensive rating) through […]

The Los Angeles Lakers took on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday in a battle of two top-tier Western Conference teams. Only two games separate the Lakers from the Suns, who are right behind them at the no. 4 seed. During the game, Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder dusted off first-time All-Star Devin Booker not once, […]

In the words of the L.A.-based band, The Eagles, Los Angeles Lakers fans can take it easy. Inevitably, the midseason swoon is over. After back-to-back wins at Staples Center against Western Conference playoff contenders — 102-93 over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, 117-91 over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday — the Lakers ship […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry tried to fish for a foul from Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder—a move that the two-time MVP has done a million times from downtown. But on this particular occasion, Schroder let Curry know that he didn’t like such antics. Schroder had every right to be upset. After all, […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schröder returned to the court on Friday to help his team (23-11) snap a four-game losing skid against the Portland Trail Blazers (18-13), 102-93. The aggressive point guard sparked the Lakers with his signature energy on both ends of the floor, dropping 22 points and hitting 9-of-9 from the free-throw […]

Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard had no chill against Dennis Schroder on Friday, who was just returning from a four-game absence for the Los Angeles Lakers. The two point guards were matched up in the post in the fourth period of the two teams’ showdown at Staples Center. Dame completely faked out the playmaker […]
