When the LA Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks last night, all eyes were bound to be on Luka Doncic. Not too long ago, he looked like a Mav lifer, but everything changed after the 2024 finals.

Luka Doncic had 38 points, Rui Hachimura scored 13 of his 21 points in a pivotal third quarter and the Los Angeles Lakers pulled away in the second half to beat the Charlotte Hornets 121-111.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 135-118 on Tuesday night for the sixth straight time thanks to 43 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds from Luka Doncic and 25 points from LeBron James.

The Lakers got the win, but Luka Doncic had another rough night. Following a 118-104 victory over the Pelicans, head coach JJ Redick addressed his star guard’s recent struggles and shared an optimistic update on the team’s overall health heading into Saturday’s game.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James pointed to a trend that the team will likely rebound from after a poor shooting night on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Lakers can clinch West Group B of the Emirates NBA Cup with a victory over the L.A. Clippers on Tuesday night.

Despite a slow start for the Los Angeles Lakers, James and co. pulled away late from the Utah Jazz and secured a 140-126 victory to cap the 40-year-old’s season debut. As soon as he stepped on the floor, James became the first player in NBA history to appear in 23 seasons.
