Lonzo Ball has not played since Jan. 13 while dealing with a sprained left MCL, and while the Los Angeles Lakers have been quick to shoot down the severity of his injury, he’s not expected back until sometime after the All-Star break. He may even miss this weekend’s Rising Stars Challenge. Head coach Luke Walton [...]

Isaiah Thomas is following Jae Crowder’s lead. After his first game with the Utah Jazz, Crowder didn’t shy away from celebrating the team’s culture at the expense of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, just a few days into his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, Thomas has done the same thing. From Lakers Nation’s Matthew Moreno: [...]

LaVar Ball continues to stay LaVar Ball. And the latest in LaVar Ball is, mind you, very LaVar Ball.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without their starting center for at least three weeks. Brook Lopez injured his ankle in the 2nd quarter of the Lakers 116-114 overtime loss to the Warriors on Kobe double jersey retirement night and X-rays showed that he has a moderate sprain in his right ankle.

Could you imagine a prime Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Tracy McGrady playing together on the same team? Of course you can’t. The notion is ludicrous.
