The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in a potential trade for a star wing upgrade.

One possible candidate, Heat small forward Andrew Wiggins, is making a good deal of money and still provides value on the perimeter, making any agreement complicated. Still, if the Heat end up deciding to move on from his contract, the Lakers have expiring contracts to match his salary.

In other news, Luka Doncic sustained an injury in the first quarter of Slovenia's game against Italy at EuroBasket on Sunday.

The Lakers star provided an update, confirming he will be fine for Wednesday's game.

Finally, LeBron James opened up about his post-retirement plans, specifically whether he plans to coach.
