The first 10 games of the 2023-24 season weren’t a whole lot of fun for the Los Angeles Lakers. They scuttled to a 3-5 record, beset by injuries, unfamiliarity, and porous shooting. Entering Tuesday’s In-Season Tournament matchup vs. the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers owned a bottom-seven scoring margin (-4.9). They were back […]

Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers added to the woes of the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2023-24 NBA season by wallopping their Western Conference rivals in a 134-107 win at home Tuesday night.

The NBA on Tuesday night might just be better than the UFC on fight nights. If fans thought the Draymond Green chokehold on Rudy Gobert was the only physical altercation in the association, they would be wrong. Santi Aldama and Anthony Davis also got into it during the showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers and […]

It has been quite a Tuesday night in the NBA. Shortly after a melee broke out in the Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies followed suit with a scuffle of their own, with Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell getting slapped with technical fouls. Techs handed out after Lakers-Grizzlies […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been very inconsistent to begin the 2023-24 season, as they find themselves with a 5-5 record. Thought to have a lot of depth around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Los Angeles’ offense has been underwhelming. This has led to questions about if the Lakers will be able to replicate the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have played 10 games. They’ve won five, each by six points or fewer. They’ve lost five, by an average margin of 10.2 points per game. They’ve already dealt with a rash of injuries and a tough schedule, so they can easily accentuate the positive (hey, it’s better than 2-10). Of course, […]

Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers (5-5) overcame the absence of LeBron James and held off the Portland Trail Blazers (3-5) on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena.

LeBron James (left calf contusion) has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena. LeBron was initially listed as questionable. James injured his calf in a collision with Kevin Durant at the 4:22 mark of the first quarter of the Lakers’ in-season tournament […]

LeBron James and Anthony Davis made it safely through the Los Angeles Lakers’ 122-119 win over the Phoenix Suns, though not without momentary hiccups.

The Los Angeles Lakers have limped to a disappointing start to the 2023-2024 season based on the princely sum of talent they acquired this past offseason. An injury to team centerpiece Anthony Davis has caused a tremendous amount of stress for the team heading into its in-season tournament showdown vs. the Phoenix Suns. A trade […]

Another season, another slow start for the Los Angeles Lakers. After getting blown out 128-94 by the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, the Lakers’ record through their first eight games sits at just 3-5, and their start to this campaign has been quite reminiscent of last season’s when they won just two of their first […]

LeBron James is reserving judgment on the 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers dropped to 3-5 and 0-5 on the road thanks to a 128-94 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday at the Toyota Center. Anthony Davis (adductor) was a last-minute scratch, and the Lakers’ “energy and effort” — a favorite Ham phrase — […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have stumbled out of the gates somewhat in 2023-24, with their most recent loss occurring against the Miami Heat on Monday night. The Heat game was a back-and-forth affair all night; however, ultimately the Lakers’ look at the buzzer was no good and the team’s record dropped to 3-4. Now, however, […]

Expectations were high for the 2023-2024 Los Angeles Lakers entering the season, but few could have anticipated the start they had so far.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Monday’s contest vs. the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center with a depleted rotation — especially in the frontcourt. To make matters more complicated, Anthony Davis was forced to exit the proceedings after 25 minutes. Thanks to an electric LeBron James (30 points), a fully-back Austin Reaves (23/10/8), and quality […]

Anthony Davis has a reputation for going down in the middle of the season because of an injury. This year looks like it is no different. The Los Angeles Lakers star was in apparent pain when they faced off against last year’s runners-up, the Miami Heat. Darvin Ham and LeBron James’ squad looked very concerned […]

Early returns have skewed largely positive for the Los Angeles Lakers. Emphasis on large. On the negative side, they were manhandled by the Denver Nuggets, suffered a disappointing loss to the Sacramento Kings, and eked out wins over the shorthanded Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic. Their hot shooting hasn’t carried over from the preseason. Transition defense […]

When he’s on, Anthony Davis is arguably the most impactful player on the Los Angeles Lakers. That’s quite the statement, but it’s also true. Davis’ ability to score in bunches while being a menace on the defensive end is incredibly valuable. That was on full display against the Orlando Magic, where Davis’ 26 points and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ minutes plan for LeBron James lasted a grand total of … seven quarters.

The Lakers scrapped and clawed their way to a 100-95 victory over Kevin Durant […]

Anthony Davis has been the subject of some harsh criticism from fans and pundits over the past few years; even supporters of the Los Angeles Lakers demand more from Davis. After all, Davis showed back in 2020 that he could be an incredible, title-winning player when he’s at his best and playing aggressively on both […]

After the Los Angeles Lakers lost in their season opener to the Denver Nuggets as Anthony Davis went scoreless in the second half, analyst Colin Cowherd went off on the star, even comparing him to a milkshake machine.

The Los Angeles Lakers (excluding D’Angelo Russell) showed up for opening night against the Denver Nuggets motivated to make an early statement and cleanse their palate after last season’s sweep.

The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Denver Nuggets in the first NBA game of the 2023-24 season.

The NBA season is finally upon us, and what a doozy the league gave the world on opening night to tipoff the 2023-24 season.
