Ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers had finally caught a break. The team has struggled with injuries to its stars all season, from Luka Doncic and LeBron James earlier this year to Austin Reaves,

“Free agent center Deandre Ayton has agreed to sign a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources told ESPN on Wednesday night. The deal includes a player option, sources said. Between Portland and L.A., Ayton will earn $34 million next season,” ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote.

Conflicting reports have clouded Austin Reaves’ return timeline as the Lakers await clarity ahead of their next road game. The post Lakers Injury Update: Conflicting Reports Cloud Austin Reaves’ Return Timeline appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The ESPN insider confirmed he'll trade breaking news for buckets in the Celebrity Game during All-Star Weekend.

“Dončić being just 26 gives the Lakers a far longer timeline to build a championship-contending team, but that doesn't mean they can slow down and take their time. Dončić told Lakers president Rob Pelinka and coach JJ Redick in May that he's not interested in taking the slow approach in building a contender,” CBS Sports’ Jasmyn Wimbish wrote.

For months, persistent rumors have been swirling that LeBron James‘ 23rd season in the NBA could also be his last. ESPN reporter Shams Charania is putting it on the record: his future may no longer be with the Los Angeles Lakers.

When it comes to chasing the scoops of daily NBA news, there aren't many (or any) reporters as prolific as ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania. Basketball is literally his life. But for the first time since his high school days, the public will get a chance to see if Shams can ball.

This year's Celebrity Game at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles will feature someone that fans in LA know very well.
