The way that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James takes care of his body in order to remain at the top of his game on the court has become almost mythical.
The Los Angeles Lakers mounted an improbable win on Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves were all out, leaving Nick Smith Jr., Marcus Smart and Bronny James as head coach JJ Redick’s entire guard rotation on the second night of a back-to-back.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has had one of the greatest basketball careers in history. He is in his 23rd season in the NBA and has amassed 21 All-Star appearances, six All-Defensive team selections, four NBA MVP awards and four NBA championships in his career.
The Los Angeles Lakers have developed a reputation for rehabbing players’ values and their latest reclamation project appears to be Nick Smith Jr. The Lakers signed Smith to a two-way deal in free agency after he was waived by the Charlotte Hornets, a surprising move considering he was a first-round pick just two years ago.
Austin Reaves is backing the talk. Since saying he wanted to become an All-Star, the numbers don’t lie. Only four players are averaging more points than him, and even fewer match his 9.3 assists currently.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling the past week, winning their previous three games heading into a rematch against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Hours before Monday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers, a viral video circulated on YouTube, titled “BRONNY JAMES has zero idea how to play basketball.” This was just the latest in a long string of criticism surrounding the sophomore guard, something he’s dealt with since his rookie year.
The Los Angeles Lakers played without Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and LeBron James on Monday, but it didn't stop them from getting a win against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura and Nick Smith Jr. all achieved season-best point totals as the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers notched a 123-115 victory over the host Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers will hit the road for their contest on Monday as they get set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers for their eighth game of the season.
Comparisons between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have been around for years, despite the two playing vastly different styles. But with both having résumés of success as long as anyone in NBA history, it’s understandable why their names are often mentioned together.
The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a solid start to their 2025-26 campaign. The Lakers are coming off a great weekend, going 2-0, including a big-time NBA Cup win on Friday over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Los Angeles Lakers star guard Luka Doncic and backcourt mate Austin Reaves won't play in Monday night's road game against the Portland Trail Blazers on the second end of a back-to-back.
One year, the Memphis Grizzlies declined the fourth-year option on former No. 19 pick Jake LaRavia's rookie deal. Maybe the disrespect lit a fire under LaRavia, who has scored 25 points in two of his last three games for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers are thriving, and LeBron James hasn’t even stepped foot on the court yet. Nobody expected a collapse for a LeBron-less Lakers team, especially considering Luka Doncic is leading the charge.
