ESPN’s Tim Bontemps believes there is a “legitimate chance” that LeBron James is not with the Lakers next season.
James, who turns 42 in December, is an unrestricted free agent. And for the first time in his NBA career, he is not viewed as the priority signing going into free agency. The Lakers have prioritized building around Luka Dončić, including a desire to re-sign free-agent guard Austin Reaves. Given what...
ESPNDan Woike of The Athletic reports that the Nets are expected to offer Austin Reaves a max contract when he hits free agency later this month.
The Lakers have long viewed re-signing Reaves as a priority this offseason, and the expectation was that the cost of doing business would be high. According to The Athletic, the Nets are willing to offer the shooting guard the highest deal they can, which comes to about $178.5 million over four year...
The AthleticRui Hachimura totaled 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in the loss to the Thunder on Monday.
Hachimura came alive in the third quarter following a four-point first half. He produced in the midrange and from beyond the arc before repeating the process in the fourth quarter. Hachimura made some big shots to keep the Lakers’ hopes alive down the stretch. Yet, his season ends in a fourth straig...
Jarred Vanderbilt (finger) is available for Saturday’s Game 3 against the Thunder.
Initially questionable, Vanderbilt is back after sitting out Thursday’s Game 2 defeat. He’ll provide added frontcourt depth off the bench but is unlikely to get the run needed to be an impact player for manager in playoff fantasy leagues.
Law MurrayMarcus Smart logged 14 points (4-of-13 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Thursday.
Despite not shooting the basketball well, particularly from beyond the arc, Smart was the lone Lakers starter to conclude with a positive plus-minus. He was impactful as a passer on the evening and played his usual strong defense, even though he only tallied one steal. Smart eventually knocking down...
Luke Kennard (neck) is available to play on Thursday against the Thunder.
Kennard’s availability gives the Lakers another scoring option off the bench against a Thunder defense that has overwhelmed teams throughout its title defense. The three-point specialist hasn’t had much success since the beginning of the Lakers’ first-round series against the Rockets. He’s shot 2-of...
NBA Injury Report
Luka Dončić (hamstring) is out for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.
On April 29, it was reported that Dončić, who strained his left hamstring in an April 2 loss to the Thunder, had no return timeline. He’ll remain out at the start of the second-round series, with the hope that the Lakers will get Dončić back at some point. Marcus Smart and Rui Hachimura will continu...
NBA Injury ReportJake LaRavia (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Game 3.
LaRavia’s absence from the injury report indicates that he’ll be available to take the floor for the Lakers on Friday. He’s come off the bench in each of the first two games against the Rockets in this series, posting six total points on 1-of-5 shooting from the field. He’ll likely play a similar ro...
NBA Injury ReportJaxson Hayes (foot) is available to play against the Rockets on Saturday.
Hayes hasn’t taken the floor since April 5 against the Mavericks, as a foot injury has kept him on the sidelines. However, the injury-hit Lakers get a bit of good news on Friday, as the athletic center’s name is no longer on the injury report. He’ll likely come off the bench in his return.
NBA Injury ReportDalton Knecht provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers against the Jazz on Sunday.
Knecht hasn’t played much during his second season in the league, but he got the opportunity in the blowout win. He took advantage and stuffed the stat sheet, but he’ll likely be back on the bench for the playoffs. Still, this was a productive game for him, and it may lead to a team being interested...
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers signed Nick Smith Jr. to a two-year deal.
Sunday’s transaction ensures that Smith will be available for the playoffs, a needed move since the Lakers are unlikely to have Luka Dončić (hamstring) or Austin Reaves (oblique) for the first round. The 27th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Smith has played between 11 and 13 minutes in each of the L...
Shams CharaniaDrew Timme accounted for 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder.
With LeBron James (foot) out and the Thunder starting Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, Timme made his first start of the season on Tuesday. He played reasonably well, reaching double figures for the third time in 24 appearances. The Lakers’ final three games of the regular season include back-t...
Adou Thiero (knee) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers.
Thiero has missed the last three games with a knee injury, but he will be available against Cleveland. However, even when available, he has rarely seen the floor this season.
NBA Injury ReportMaxi Kleber (back) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Pistons.
Kleber’s return is timely, as Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart will both be sidelined. Extra playing time could be available for Kleber, but he’s not worth rostering in fantasy hoops.
NBA Injury ReportBronny James (leg) is available for Tuesday’s matchup with the Nets.
James will return following a one-game absence, but his availability has no impact in the realm of fantasy hoops.
