Austin Reaves was willing to throw himself under the bus for the Lakers’ biggest issue through their first two games. But he didn’t mean to drag fellow Lakers star guard Luka Doncic down with him. It’s hard to be too critical of the Lakers after their first two games of the season – home wins over the Warriors on Wednesday and Clippers on Friday.

Luka Doncic dismantles the Warriors after Yaxel Lendeborg riles him up with his trash-talk during the Lakers' season-opener tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick has some high praise for his newest big man Walker Kessler after another dominate performance.

Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler lead the Lakers to a 125-117 victory over the Clippers, improving to 2-0.

The Los Angeles Lakers have announced their starting lineup for Wednesday night's season opener against the Golden State Warriors.

With Ziaire Williams and Matisse Thybulle earning their respective roles in the starting lineup, the wing duo have infected the team with defensive intensity.

Outside of Reaves and Luka Doncic, the Lakers lacked ball-handling in the preseason, which is what Sexton will provide off the bench. His ability to put pressure on the rim while also being a quality 3-point shooter will be crucial for L.A.’s second unit.

The Lakers receive an unfortunate injury update ahead of their Clippers showdown, forcing JJ Redick to reconsider his rotation.
