The Lakers are dedicating tonight’s game to the Los Angeles community.

The #NBA has named Domantas Sabonis of the Kings and Darius Garland of the Cavs as last week’s Players of the Week.

What sticks out?

The NBA is postponing Lakers-Hornets game tonight at Crypto Arena due to raging wildfires across the Los Angeles.

#NBA is flexing Knicks vs Thunder on NBA TV for Friday night, it is replacing the Pelicans vs Sixers game.

Rockets 1st half rebounds 28

Lakers 1st half rebounds 14

Amen Thompson 1st half rebounds 9

Scary good.

Dominant 2nd half by the Thunder. Holding the Celtics to 27 total points.

They still don’t have Chet Holmgren back.

Udonis Haslem was the soul of Heat Culture. Once he retired everything changed.

#NBa Scheduling update:

The Memphis Grizzlies’ Jan. 17 game vs the San Antonio Spurs has been flexed onto national TV (ESPN).

Gametime has changed to 8:30pm CT.

It was so hard to watch, even on the condensed replay.

The Nets didn’t make a FG the last 7 mins of the game against the Bucks.

The Bucks still lost.

Good morning.

Both Anthony Davis and Gabe Vincent are now listed as out for tonight’s Lakers vs. Trailblazers game.

Alex Sarr of the Wizards has been named Rookie of the Month.

The Wizards last rookie to do so?

Bradley Beal back in January of 2013.

Vibes

The Phoenix Suns are the 11th seed in the West, don’t have their first round pick until 2031, and have absolutely $0 of cap space to spend on free agents and can’t make a substantive trade without moving Nurkic or Beal and Beal would have to waive his no-trade clause.

The Celtics are about to be up 50.

In an actual NBA regular season game.

My word.

Jimmy Butler on if he wants to be in Miami.

Good time to share this.

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed on a trade sending D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton.

Until the last 5 minutes lol

With Luka being ineligible for All NBA, the first teamers seem likely to be Shai, Jokic, Giannis, and Tatum:

Who gets the fifth spot?

Went scoreless for almost 2 minutes.

No one thought it would be like this.
