The Los Angeles Lakers have underachieved beyond their fan’s wildest nightmares this season, as a team that was pegged as a preseason title contender is barely good enough to clinch a berth in the play-in tournament.

On-brand with a frustrating 2021-22 season, the Los Angeles Lakers simultaneously offered, respectively, encouraging and discouraging updates about the health of Anthony Davis and LeBron James on Monday.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the disappointment of the season. Many expected them to seriously contend for the title, but it has not turned out that way. The Lakers are a full 25 games back from the first seed, where some saw them before the season. They are currently 29-39 and just ninth in the […]

Ultimately, if the Los Angeles Lakers want to salvage their 2021-22 season and make some unexpected noise in the playoffs, their path will quickly lead them to the Footprint Center. Inconveniently, the Phoenix Suns happen to own the Los Angeles Lakers, at the moment. Phoenix torched the Lakers on Sunday like the Arizona heat in […]

Prior to the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Davis made some interesting comments.

Anthony Davis is once again sidelined with injury, a familiar theme in what has otherwise been an amazing career for the Los Angeles Lakers big man.

The absence of Anthony Davis has caused a lot of chaos for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers need Anthony Davis back as soon as humanly possible. This has become an undeniable fact, especially considering how this team has looked since the All-Star break.

Just like the 10-East when I drive from Santa Monica to Crypto.com Arena on game nights, the brain trust atop the Los Angeles Lakers organization seems a bit overcrowded.

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.

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

Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks further added to the misery of the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday after the Mavs took a 109-104 victory over a hapless LA side in their own home court. The Lakers put in a major effort to climb back from a huge deficit in the third quarter — they […]
