Luke Doncic went ballistic on Friday night as he led the Dallas Mavericks to a 112-106 win over the Houston Rockets.

Luka finished the game with 50 points on 17-of-30 shooting, […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James won’t be giving gifts this Christmas … at least not in the Christmas special of ClutchPoints’ animated series “The Association.” In the latest teaser for the special, LeBron was in tears as he misses his old pal Kyrie Irving.

The Sacramento Kings handily defeated the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday by a final score of 134-120.

So after the game, James […]

Domantas Sabonis has been dominant for the the Sacramento Kings in recent weeks, and his incredible play has allowed him to make history not seen in 52 years.

LA is still within striking distance of the playoffs right now, but this could quickly […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be awfully shorthanded for their matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Monday night at the Footprint Center.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James remains one of the most physically dominant players in the NBA on the cusp of his 38th birthday. His secret to staving off — no, beating — Father Time? It began in elementary school. Following a 33-point, 7-rebound, 9-assist performance in the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Washington […]

[…]

The Los Angeles Lakers escaped with a 119-117 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena, capped by a goofy final sequence in which LeBron James turned a potentially crippling turnover into a game-winning dunk in the span of seconds.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is one proud friend after witnessing Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul graduate from Winston-Salem State.

You might assume that Anthony Davis injuring his foot in the first quarter and exiting at halftime against two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the red-hot Denver Nuggets would spell doom for the Los Angeles Lakers. Assume again. The Lakers didn’t just withstand Davis’ absence; they cruised to victory. (AD will have his right foot re-evaluated […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James couldn’t be more hyped up after seeing Quinn Cook explode in China.

He actually went full Stephen Curry in […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have improved their report card for the 2022-23 season within the last few weeks.

LeBron James is not a scorer. This was one of the early criticisms the naysayers had on the Los Angeles Lakers superstar way before he established himself as one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball. While there is some truth to this notion — after all, LeBron is a pass-first type of […]

Plenty of critics rolled their eyes when the Los Angeles Lakers used their taxpayer mid-level exception on Lonnie Walker IV. Walker was not the 3 and D wing many fans wanted alongside LeBron James. He was coming off a season where he shot only 31.4 percent from deep, and he hasn’t received the best reviews […]

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers’ Achilles heel is perimeter shooting. In the three-point driven meta of today’s NBA, the Lakers are lagging behind.
