Despite now being with the Chicago Bulls, Alex Caruso still remains to be one of the most-loved figures within the ranks of the Los Angeles Lakers. The fans absolutely adore the high-flying guard and at this point, some of them are already wishing that Caruso never left LA. Prior to taking his talents to Chicago […]

Alex Caruso has been making waves for his new team, the Chicago Bulls, early in the season. So much so, that fans of the Los Angeles Lakers already seem to be regretting the team’s decision to let him walk away as a free agent back in the summer. Caruso recently sat down with The Athletic’s […]

Lonzo Ball is currently happy with the Chicago Bulls but two years ago, it was a different story. In 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a blockbuster trade that saw them landing then-New Orleans Pelicans All-Star big man Anthony Davis in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the draft rights to De’Andre […]

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers earned their first win in regulation without LeBron James of the season, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 114-106 at Staples Center. Barring a couple of tight moments, it was a relatively comfortable afternoon for Los Angeles. In the short term, that was just what the doctor ordered for a […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis is a proudly die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. He often wears Green Bay gear to the arena when the Lakers play on the same day as the Packers. He frequently posts about their wins on social media. He brings them up at press conferences, and (politely) cuts interviews short […]

Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, and the Los Angeles Lakers host the Chicago Bulls on Monday, which means Alex Caruso will make his bittersweet return to Staples Center. Of course, this time, Caruso will be wearing red instead of gold — a sight Lakers fans still haven’t gotten over. IRL, it will be even harder to […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is a HUGE Green Bay Packers fans, and he wouldn’t let the San Antonio Spurs prevent him from watching his favorite NFL team.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a long way to go if they want to raise the franchise’s 18th banner. That was made starkly apparent on the night when the Lakers debuted their City Edition uniforms honoring their championship-laden history. Anthony Davis knows it. “We have to decide who we want to be,” he said after […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had seemingly turned a corner this week. They responded from a halfhearted effort against the Portland Trail Blazers with gutsy and “resilient” overtime wins (without LeBron James) against the upstart Charlotte Hornets and contending Miami Heat. On Friday, in a 107-83 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center, the Lakers […]

To say that the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a disaster is an understatement. Despite it being a close match at the half, the Lakers inexplicably collapsed in the third quarter, leading to an 83 – 107 drubbing from the 4 – 7 Timberwolves. It was an embarrassing defeat for a […]

Anthony Davis has been a force on defense for the Los Angeles Lakers, oftentimes saving Russell Westbrook, who can get a bit too careless. That holds true off the court. Friday is Westbrook’s 33rd birthday. His Lakers teammates, coaches, and staff presented him with a cake at practice. As we can see in Kendrick Nunn’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got Malik Monk for an absolute bargain in free agency, signing him to a veteran’s minimum of $1.7 million.

The Los Angeles Lakers secured their second overtime win in a row on Wednesday at Staples Center, this time against the Miami Heat, 120-117.

No matter shorthanded, sheer effort goes a long way […]

The short-handed Los Angeles Lakers (7-5) have won back-to-back overtime games at home following their lackadaisical effort against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center last Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is one of the most dominant two-way players in the league when he’s healthy. But that last bit has been the biggest caveat throughout his career. With the fact that Anthony Davis is injury-prone being hard to deny, some naysayers have labeled AD as soft because of his inability […]

The Los Angeles Lakers may be forced to operate without their fulcrum, LeBron James, for either a few more games or a few more months, depending who you ask.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to deal with nagging injuries.

Anthony Davis is sick and tired of it, and for good reason. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel […]

The Los Angeles Lakers revamped their roster entering this season, mixing several new stars and role players with their existing ones. But despite that, they’ve been unable to smush the injury bug that’s plagued them for the last year or so. While there haven’t been any serious injuries, even the minor ones are causing problems […]

Anthony Davis (sprained right thumb) is questionable for the Los Angeles Lakers matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center on Saturday. Frank Vogel provided the “update” during his post-practice media availability on Friday. (“Still a sprained thumb, questionable for tomorrow” were his exact words.) I put “update” in quotes because it’s not […]

Lakers star Anthony Davis pays his ultimate respect to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after another loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But with LeBron James on the sidelines with an abdominal strain, they once again found themselves on the wrong side of a comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the second time in their last five games. LeBron James […]

Yikes. Where to even begin. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won two games. Both have come against the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. held leads of 19 or more in each one. LeBron James played in neither game. Still, the Lakers — the oldest, most accomplished team in the NBA — should beat the league’s youngest […]

Anthony Davis put up an impressive 16-point, 13-rebound double-double on Sunday as the Los Angeles Lakers logged back-to-back wins at the expense of the Houston Rockets.

Kyle Kuzma has been a crucial cog in the Washington Wizards’ 2-1 start to the season – and it hasn’t just been because of his scoring ability.
