The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from their first loss of the season with an impressive 103-87 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night at Intuit Dome.
Across the first four games of the regular season, Jarred Vanderbilt found himself entirely outside of the Los Angeles Lakers’ rotation, with head coach JJ Redick opting for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Kevon Looney as his backup big men behind Walker Kessler.
Darryn Peterson scored 18 points against the Spurs. When the game needed deciding, though, the Jazz rookie was watching. Will Hardy pulled the No. 2 overall pick with 2:05 left in regulation and didn’t bring him back for overtime in Wednesday’s 117-111 loss.
With Luka Doncic out in the second night of a back-to-back, someone needed to step up and bring energy to the Los Angeles Lakers against the L.A. Clippers.
Who is the X factor for every NBA player this season? We’re not talking about the go-to guy, like Nikola Jokic or Steph Curry. It could be a big-name player, an all-star, or a bench player, but they are the pivot point for their team.
The Los Angeles Lakers had a convincing 103-87 victory over the LA Clippers, using a balanced scoring attack to take control of the rivalry matchup.

LOS ANGELES – When the Los Angeles Lakers revamped their roster in the offseason, one of the players they targeted early was veteran guard Collin Sexton.
The Los Angeles Lakers had quite the NBA offseason. Los Angeles made sweeping roster changes, bringing in nine new players and overhauling more than half the team.
Perhaps the unsung hero of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 132-123 comeback victory over the Utah Jazz was guard Collin Sexton. The 13 points Sexton provided off the bench were important, but even more important was the energy and intensity he brought from the moment he stepped out on the floor.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton missed the entire preseason and the first game of the regular season while recovering from a right soleus strain.
After missing all of preseason and the regular season opener with a right soleus strain, Collin Sexton made his Los Angeles Lakers debut in Friday night’s win over the L.A.

In theory, Collin Sexton is a Laker. Fans are still waiting for his debut after he was sidelined for the entirety of the preseason. Things seemed to be trending toward Sexton making his debut on Tuesday after he was a full participant in practice on Monday and Tuesday.
New Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton, who has been listed as questionable leading up to the team’s season-opening game against the Golden State Warriors, has been ruled out for Wednesday night’s contest due to a right soleus strain.
If you wanted proof that absence makes the heart grow fonder, look no further than how much of a void Collin Sexton left in the Lakers’ preseason. When he signed with Los Angeles over the summer, the expectations for Sexton were simple.
Perhaps the most intriguing addition the Los Angeles Lakers made this summer was point guard Collin Sexton. The veteran guard has become an extremely reliable player who can operate on or off the ball and is expected to provide a boost to the Lakers’ bench, which was one of the worst in the league last year.
The injury bug has struck early for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Before even the first game of regular-season action, they are missing several rotation players, not counting Walker Kessler, who just made his debut.

The Lakers made a series of moves to rework their roster in early July, including the addition of Collin Sexton in free agency. In an interview with ESPN LA (Twitter video link), Sexton explains why he chose to come to Los Angeles.
Collin Sexton has a lot of reasons for being attracted to the Los Angeles Lakers early in free agency, but the biggest one was pretty simple: he wanted a chance to impact winning on one of the NBA’s biggest stages.
The Los Angeles Lakers were among the most active teams in the league early in the offseason. To address the departure of several key players, the Purple and Gold made significant moves to upgrade their roster.
Luka Doncic does not need to prove he can carry the Los Angeles Lakers on the court. Averaging 33.5 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds last season handled that rather convincingly.
These are three players who, at the right price and with the right team, could be the final pieces to an NBA championship run and may out-earn whatever contract they get next.
