LeBron James confirms he will get MRI on foot now that season is over

For the entirety of the Lakers' run in the NBA playoffs, the team listed LeBron James on every single injury report they released with "right foot soreness," which was a bit of an oversimplification of what James was actually playing through, even if his foot probably was sore from it.The issue stemmed from a torn tendon in his right foot, an injury he said every doctor he saw other than "The LeBron James of feet" told him would require surgery to heal.

Celtics OK with their 'good look' at end of OT loss

Jamal Collier, ESPNMay 7, 2023, 09:12 PM ET


PHILADELPHIA -- As he considered a question about whether the Boston Celtics should have called a timeout to set up their final possession at the end of regulation or in overtime of a 116-115 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 on Sunday, star Jayson Tatum recalled how the strategy paid off a year earlier.

Lakers would give championship rings to all 26 players to play for them if they win title

As their postseason run continues, the Los Angeles Lakers have made a decision that if they do win three more rounds of the NBA playoffs and claim their 18th banner, no players' contributions will have been too small to celebrate; not even Patrick Beverley.They will all get championship rings.This is pretty much exactly what we predicted on this site back when Beverley reiterated that both he and Russell Westbrook would want some jewelry if their former team won the title, and TNT sideline reporter Chris Haynes confirmed as much during the network's pregame broadcast on Monday:

"They [Lakers] would extend a championship ring to ALL players who were on the roster at any point during this season."

Should Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley get rings if Lakers win NBA title?

(Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)

The Lakers are still alive in the NBA playoffs, tied at one game apiece with the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley are no longer part of the team this postseason after being dealt by the Lakers before the NBA's trade deadline in February and landing on teams that are done for the season.

The Lakers do have an officiating advantage over some other NBA teams, but not for the reason you think

Over the course of the 2022-23 NBA season, a lot of podcast topics were filled and ink was spilled on the Los Angeles Lakers leading the league in free throw attempts, averaging 26.6 per game.That number was less than a full free throw per game more than the Detroit Pistons (25.7), the latter of whom suspiciously few argued that the refs were rigging games for, but I digress.

Local podcaster says he wants championship ring from Lakers

Professional podcaster and part-time NBA player Patrick Beverley may have said his main goal after being traded by the Lakers was to knock the team out of the NBA playoffs entirely with the Bulls - even after he had already done so much to help with that task during his brickfest of a tenure on the team, it was a task he proved too small for - claimed he had actually demanded a trade after weeks of rumors he wanted to leave even before the Russell Westbrook trade, and then complained that Lakers fans were celebrating his downfall, but he still wants his championship ring if his former team goes all the way to the title.
