Top Lakers News

  • Lakers' Christian Wood: Headed for surgery

    Wood is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will remain out for several weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    This latest development is more bad news for the Lakers, as it seems unlikely that Wood will be cleared for game action before the regular season draws to a close. However, the team will evaluate the 28-year-old after the procedure to get a better idea of the timeline for his recovery.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Good to go Monday

    Davis (eye) is active Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Davis exited Saturday's loss to Golden State after 12 minutes upon suffering a corneal abrasion, but the team has been consistently optimistic on his status and he went through his typical warm-up procedure Monday, so he should be unrestricted in Monday's outing. LeBron James (ankle) has also been cleared for action Monday, bringing the Lakers' current rotation to full strength.

  • Lakers' LeBron James: Officially active Monday

    James (ankle) will play Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    James will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest Monday, and he enters averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 38.7 minutes across his last three appearances. The 39-year-old dropped 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in a Jan. 30 loss to Atlanta -- representing the only other meeting between these two teams this season.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Taking part in warmups Monday

    Davis (eye) is participating in his typical pregame routine ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks, but the Lakers have yet to announce whether he'll play, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    The team expressed optimism about Davis being able to play in Monday's contest earlier in the day, and this latest development is another step in the right direction. The Lakers should have official word on his availability closer to the 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Optimism for Monday's status

    The Lakers are optimistic Davis (eye), who is officially listed as questionable, will be able to play Monday against Atlanta, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Davis exited Saturday's game against the Warriors due to his injury, as his eye was swollen shut, and he was experiencing impaired vision. However, he regained his vision Sunday and feels better ahead of Monday's matchup. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old will face any restrictions if he can suit up.

  • Lakers' Cam Reddish: Out against Atlanta

    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against the Hawks.

    Reddish's streak of missed games extends to four while he manages a right ankle sprain. Even when he's ultimately cleared for action, Reddish will likely handle only a small role in the Los Angeles rotation.

  • Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Won't play Monday

    Vincent (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

    Vincent hasn't played since Dec. 20 as he continues to recover from surgery on his left knee. The 28-year-old pro has been cleared for non-contact work and is targeting a mid-to-late March return.

  • Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable against Hawks

    James (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

    James continues to receive questionable designations ahead of each contest due to a lingering ankle issue, so this is not much of an indicator of his potential availability. If he is unavailable, Rui Hachimura and Taurean Prince could see increased playing time.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Officially listed questionable

    Davis (eye) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Davis has officially been diagnosed with a corneal abrasion in his left eye after being poked in the eye during Saturday's loss to the Warriors. The injury has his status in the air Monday, but Davis stated that his vision has improved since the initial incident, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he is ultimately unable to go, Jaxson Hayes should be in line for extended run.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Dealing with impaired vision

    Davis' left eye was swollen shut and he was experiencing impaired vision after he exited early in Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Davis sustained what was described as an abrasion with 2:47 left in the first quarter, when he was poked in the left eye by the Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis. Though he initially played though the issue, Davis' eye began to swell up before he made a visit to the locker room. The Lakers then ruled Davis out for the game midway through the third quarter. According to McMenamin, Davis is scheduled to be monitored throughout Sunday's off day before the Lakers determine his status for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Delivers double-double Saturday

    Russell recorded 23 points (9-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors.

    Russell didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but he still posted a strong double-double after dazzling as a playmaker. Russell is currently going through one of the most productive stretches of the season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game since the All-Star break while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three-point range.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Efficient in loss to Warriors

    Hachimura produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to Golden State.

    Hachimura missed only three of his 10 shots from the field. Still, his contributions on both ends of the court were not enough to lift the Lakers past Golden State in this pivotal matchup with potential playoff-seeding implications. Hachimura has scored in double digits in five straight appearances, averaging 18.0 points while shooting 60.9 percent from the field in that five-game stretch.

  • Lakers' LeBron James: Sniffs triple-double in loss

    James chipped in 40 points (15-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors.

    James was forced to carry a heavier load on offense after Anthony Davis (eye) left the game in the first half. While James delivered one of his best all-around efforts of the season, it wasn't enough to lift the Lakers to victory in this pivotal matchup against an opponent in the playoff race. James has been thriving as a playmaker in recent weeks, recording seven or more assists in 14 straight appearances. He's averaging 27.4 points, 9.4 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game in that 14-game stretch.

  • Lakers' Maxwell Lewis: Returns to NBA

    The Lakers recalled Lewis from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday.

    Lewis was active for Saturday's loss to the Warriors, but he didn't see any playing time. He's appeared in four of Los Angeles' last six games but totaled just seven minutes of game action.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Exits Saturday with eye injury

    Davis suffered a corneal abrasion to his left eye during Saturday's game versus the Warriors and won't return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He finished with eight point (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 12 minutes.

    Davis left the game during the first quarter, sat out the entire second quarter, and then was ruled out roughly halfway through the third. Corneal abrasions are typically day-to-day concerns, and for the time being, Davis should be viewed as questionable for the Lakers' next game Monday versus Atlanta.
