The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly plan to be active before the trade deadline, with a 3-and-D player among their priorities.

While LeBron James will one day get his jersey retired by the Lakers, one former NBA All-Star believes he's hurting Los Angeles.

The San Antonio Spurs held off the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday, Dec. 10 in a 132-119 victory in the final game of the NBA Cup quarterfinals. San Antonio had seven different players reach double figures in scoring, but guard Stephon Castle posted a 30-point double-double with 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, Reaves' hot streak has hit a road bump. The team announced on Friday that the 27-year-old has been diagnosed with a calf injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least seven days. Lakers reporter Dan Woike of The Athletic was among the first to break the news on social media.

The Los Angeles Lakers can't run away from the very real, very threatening defensive problems that could, if not corrected, derail any hopes they have of competing for an NBA title.

Stephon Castle led the Spurs to a 132-119 win with 30 points and 10 rebounds as seven San Antonio players scored in double figures. Luka Dončić paced the Lakers with 35 points, and LeBron James had 19 points and 15 rebounds.

LeBron James, playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, continues to shatter records in his 23-year NBA career. Recently, during a game against the Phoenix Suns, he was fouled twice in a mere 0.2 seconds, a notable event in his career.

Lakers veteran guard Marcus Smart spoke about how other teams are preparing their scouting reports against them.
