According to NBA reporter Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers could try to trade for Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball. Ball began his career

After the Los Angeles Lakers traded Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Nets last month in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, he dropped 22 points off the bench in his season debut with Brooklyn in a 130-113 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 1.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly now open to giving up their prized draft assets to improve their roster ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick revealed before their 111-88 win over the Washington Wizards at Crypto.com Arena that Dorian Finney-Smith has been on a minutes restriction.

The Phoenix Suns head to Barclays Center to face the Brooklyn Nets in a non-conference matchup. The Suns are 21-21, which puts them in 10th place in the Western Conference. The Nets are 14-29, which puts them in 12th place in the Eastern Conference.

Portland ranks 27th in the league in offensive rating (108.6), and nearly as poorly on the other end, sitting 26th in defensive rating (117.1).

The Lakers star agreed with head coach JJ Redick's assessment that L.A. has a tiny margin for error when it comes to winning games.

Russell has appeared in six of the Nets' 11 games after joining the team in a Dec. 29 trade from the Los Angeles Lakers. The 28-year-old has averaged 13.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game on 41.7 percent shooting from the field and 36.7 percent from three.

But for all the questions about the Lakers' offensive personnel and approach, their defense has been the much bigger issue. They got carved up by the Clippers in Sunday's defeat a

While James may feel the Lakers have a home-court advantage against the Clippers, the team's record in the past few years indicates otherwise. Dating back to the 2022-23 season, the Lakers have just a 3-6 record against the Clippers in away games.
