The Los Angeles Lakers got back in the win column against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night, and a big reason for that was the play of Deandre Ayton inside.
The best-player discourse in the NBA today revolves around a few regular names. Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has to be there, as does three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
January 21-22, 2006 delivered two unforgettable performances separated by 24 hours. One became college hoops lore because of JJ Redick’s record-breaking performance.
It's hard for everything to go right in the NBA, whether that's due to managerial decisions, bad luck with injuries, or other factors. In league history, there are some moments that stand out, moments that could have gone in a completely different direction and drastically changed the league.
Leading up to his untimely calf injury, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves was playing at an All-Star level. Despite Luka Doncic and LeBron James missing their fair share of games, Reaves was a steady force that pulled out unlikely wins against quality opponents.
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic returned to the lineup Sunday against the Toronto Raptors after missing Saturday’s 132-116 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers due to left groin soreness, a nagging injury that had limited him throughout the week.
The Lakers have a 14-10 record with LeBron James and 11-6 without him. This doesn’t paint the picture of the 41-year-old leading his team to championship dreams.
Luka Doncic’s bromance with Austin Reaves had a hilarious highlight (or lowlight) on Sunday. Although Reaves has yet to see action on the court since the calendar flipped to 2026, he made a bit of an impact late in the contest against the visiting Toronto Raptors at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif.
The Raptors visited Los Angeles tonight and went away with a 93-110 loss to the Lakers. On the second night of back-to-back games, Drew Timme played 16 minutes for the Lakers after a solid outing against the Trail Blazers last night.

The Los Angeles Lakers are at the point in the season where they’re looking to find a trade that will improve their team. It almost feels like clockwork at this point, and last season, they shocked the entire NBA world when they were able to acquire Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks for Anthony Davis.
The Los Angeles Lakers found a gem in 2021 when they signed undrafted free agent Austin Reaves. The University of Oklahoma product proved to be much better than expected, as he earned a roster spot and eventually became a starter and now holds his own playing alongside superstars LeBron James and Luka Doncic.
