Lakers head coach JJ Redick spoke about the team’s decision to no longer hold shootaround as it pertains to LeBron James.

The NBA has suspended Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder for three games for confronting and attempting to strike another player 40 minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers’ win at Crypto.com Arena on Dec.

Dennis Schröder tried to get physical with Luka Dončić postgame — but the NBA slapped him with a suspension instead. The NBA issued a three-game suspension to the Kings guard on Saturday after trying to strike a Lakers player following Sacramento’s blowout 125-101 loss to the Lakers on Dec.

Rui Hachimura appears set to return as the Lakers remove him from the injury report, with Los Angeles remaining cautious.

LeBron James has continued to operate as one of the Los Angeles Lakers ’ most impactful players, now in his eighth season with the franchise. As James’ career enters its final stages, the 41-year-old veteran superstar has nothing left to prove, even in Los Angeles.

Despite recently celebrating his 41st birthday and in his 23rd NBA season, LeBron James thinks his game is still as strong as it has ever been.

Luka Doncic, who had an off shooting night by making only eight of 25 from the field, fouls out and LeBron James, who had 26 points, has a late turnover.
