LeBron James’ streak of 10 consecutive games played for the Los Angeles Lakers came to an end on Monday after he was surprisingly ruled out just moments before their matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.

It’s been almost two years since the Los Angeles Lakers won an NBA title in the Orlando Bubble but if you’re asking Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, that really didn’t mean much.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in shambles right now. There’s just no other way to put it.

When any team is struggling to win games, no matter the sport, the pressure is always going to fall on the head coach.

The Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t be in worse shape right now. They’re six games under .500 at 27-33 and in ninth place in the West. Even worse, LA is going to be without star big man Anthony Davis for another four weeks due to a foot injury. Things have got to a point where the […]

There’s no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers are in a lot of trouble right now. It’s true that there’s still a lot of basketball to be played this season, but at the same time, it’s just hard to imagine how this team will be able to miraculously turn their season around to make a […]

Historically, the Los Angeles Lakers don’t subscribe to moral victories. The franchise has built its brand on winning. Satisfaction after a loss is blasphemous.
