JaVale McGee calls Lakers ‘best team in the world right now’
LOS ANGELES — Wearing a jet-black Deion Sanders Atlanta Falcons jersey after a 112-103 win over the LA Clippers on Sunday, Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee made a declaration that would have made the boastful “Prime Time” proud. “It was very important,” McGee said when asked to put the Lakers’ win over their Staples […]

LOS ANGELES — It started most mornings over the summer around 3:30 a.m. No matter if he was at the gym he had built for himself on the set of Space Jam 2 at the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California, or at the Los Angeles Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo, LeBron James […]

Given the huge Sunday afternoon audience on ABC, it’s not surprising to see Milton become the most-added player in ESPN leagues during the past week. He’s now rostered in two-thirds of leagues.

The Lakers said Davis, who played his first seven seasons in New Orleans, has a sore right knee. Caruso has a sore right hamstring.

Last May, alongside general manager Rob Pelinka, Vogel took the podium on the team’s practice court. Just hours earlier, Magic Johnson had accused Pelinka of backstabbing him during his rocky tenure as the Lakers’ president, a post Johnson had relinquished the previous month during an impromptu hallway resignation. Johnson’s departure was soon followed by the […]

Davis suffered his injury, which the Lakers are calling a gluteus maximus contusion, taking a hard fall on his lower back after trying to block a shot by Julius Randle of the New York Knicks last week. Rondo suffered a nondisplaced volar plate avulsion fracture to his right ring finger in Saturday’s victory over the […]
