Kyle Kuzma Able to Shoot on Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) was able to get up shots during Monday's practice. However, Kuzma was landing on one foot in order to take off stress from his recently injured foot.

DeMarcus Cousins Tears ACL

Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins has torn his ACL during workouts.

Rockets Sign Tyson Chandler

The Houston Rockets have signed veteran center Tyson Chandler, who played 55 games last season for the Suns and Lakers.

Fantasy Spin: Kawhi Leonard And Paul George To The Clippers

Reggie Bullock Intends To Sign With Knicks

Small forward Reggie Bullock has agreed to a two-year deal to join the New York Knicks. While it’s hard to see how the team’s new glut of power forwards will fit together, slotting Bullock into the lineup will be much easier as he can contribute at the two and the three off the Knicks bench. […]

Mike Muscala Agrees To Deal With Thunder

Free agent power forward Mike Muscala has agreed to a deal to join the Oklahoma City Thunder. Muscala bounced around last season, opening the year in Philadelphia before a brief stop with the Clippers before being traded the next day to the Lakers.

Jones is likely just going to be a depth piece if he […]

Diamonds in the (Very) Rough: NBA Draft Sleepers Of The Second Round and Beyond

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant".

Kyle Kuzma Will Sit on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) will sit out of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers have no incentive to win, so anyone that is banged up will likely just sit out. The team has been using a committee approach to fill the void.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock (neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
