The absence of Anthony Davis didn't stop LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers from putting up a season-high 134 points Thursday night against
The Los Angeles Lakers' road trip will continue as they head out to face the Washington Wizards at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Capital One Arena. The Lakers might want some stickum for this one as the team gave up 22 turnovers on Tuesday.
If they decide to push for the playoffs, ClutchPoints proposed a trade that would send Washington Wizards swingman Corey Kispert to the Sixers. The Wizards are nowhere near playoff contention, so trading Kispert would make sense. The proposed trade is as follows:
LeBron James is listed on the injury report with left foot injury management, and it's not certain if he will suit up.
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James saw his first real NBA action since opening night, falling to Tyrese Maxey and the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers 118-104. And Bronny, in 15 minutes, did not perform well, at least according to coach JJ Redick.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a prime opportunity to get back on track despite being shorthanded against the Washington Wizards.
The 2025 NBA trade deadline is on the horizon. The Philadelphia 76ers will presumably be buyers, though they are not among the most eager teams to make a big splash. The Sixers prefer not to tank the remainder of this season, but their losing record will surely influence their approach before the deadline on Thursday, February 6.
The Wizards have gone bare bones and are depending on lottery luck to save them. Meanwhile, the Raptors, who have now won five straight, are approaching their own rebuild a little differently. Which track will bear the most fruit?
The subplot involving Harris, Philadelphia and the 76ers is so twisted. But it shouldn't overshadow the main focus for Washington on Sunday.
The Magic need perimeter scoring. They're on track to be the worst three-point shooting team in more than a decade and their offensive rating has been stuck in the NBA's bottom third since 2011-12. Complementing Banchero, Wagner and Suggs now could further open Orlando's window of contention.
No Anthony Davis, no problem for the Lakers on Thursday night. Because even without their All-Star big man, the Lakers had advantages across the board against a Washington Wizards team that’s contending to be one of the worst teams in NBA history.
