An interview was scheduled, but before it, he told Lakers public-relations staff he couldn’t quite place a face with my name. He knew I wrote about his childhood at the Akron, Ohio, private school he attended when his dad played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but otherwise, he needed a memory jolt. So, after a recent Lakers win, in the locker room, I was called over to say hello ahead of our discussion the following day. As soon as Bronny saw me, his face lit up as though he remembered. I saw the same smile I recalled from when he was…
On a night when not much went right for the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers, Bronny James was the bright spot. The oldest son of LeBron James set career highs with 17 points and five assists in his most extensive NBA minutes in a 118-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. With his injured star father watching from the bench, James was the Lakers’ most effective offensive player in a game in which they were missing their top four scorers because of injury.

Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone had a lengthy answer on what has changed about the Los Angeles Lakers. Over the last few seasons, the Denver Nuggets have had no problems in dealing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Be it the regular season or the playoffs, the Nuggets have given constant nightmares to the Lakers Nation. However, after going winless in last season’s series, the Lakers have walked away with a 2-2 record vs the Nuggets in the 2024-25 NBA season.

The Lakers were due a schedule loss, even despite basically having one in Denver on Friday. But this game, their sixth in eight days, was one of the most predictable schedule losses since the lockout-shortened season when teams were playing back-to-back-to-backs. There isn’t a lot to take away from this game. The Lakers played 10 games, two of them were two-way players and only about a small handful of them will play in meaningful games in the postseason. So, let’s dive into the loss. As always, grades are based on expectations for each player. A “B” grade represents the average…
