The Lakers are currently the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 33-21 record in 54 games.
They have gone 6-4 over their last ten games.
Following the All-Star break, the Lakers will resume action on Friday when they host Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers.
Via ClutchPoints: “Mavs fans… history has a funny way of repeating itself 👀 In the first 49 games of their Dallas careers: Luka Doncic – 999 points Cooper Flagg – 999 points Exactly the same… and you can’t script that. Different eras and expectations. But the symmetry? It hits 😤 History doesn’t always repeat itself. Sometimes… it rhymes in Dallas.”
The Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the 2025 playoffs.
