Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent praised Austin Reaves for his recent play knowing the team needs to rely on him.

The NBA trade deadline is just weeks away and teams have started to put themselves into position to make a splash. One team that is expected to be very active ahead of the deadline is the Los Angeles Lakers.

It’s been more than a month since it became evident that Gabe Vincent was starting to round into form offensively during his second season with the Lakers. And the sixth-year guard has sustained that offensive rhythm,

Vincent finished Wednesday's 117-108 victory over the Heat with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes. Despite being one of Los Angeles' primary bench options in the backcourt and even making five starts this season,

The Lakers are in a unique spot where they can either go all-in for another star or just add more talent around the edges. In this new trade scenario, Los Angeles does the latter and builds up more depth for the postseason around stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Los Angeles has long been interested in adding Brown Jr. and almost did in free agency a few seasons ago. His versatility and shooting could give the Lakers a big boost. Plus he is on a $23 million expiring contract, giving Los Angeles some potential financial flexibility after the season.

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the big teams to watch at the trade deadline. They want to make at least one more move to help them contend for a title. This trade proposal would see them add a veteran wing and a solid guard. L.A would get Torrey Craig, who is a solid wing. While he doesn't do anything super well, he does everything pretty well.

The Lakers and the Clippers both went back to work Monday night in Los Angeles’ first two NBA games since catastrophic wildfires killed at least 24 people and destroyed significant sections of their hometown.

Los Angeles Lakers sixth man small forward Dorian Finney-Smith has been ruled out for what would have been his first clash with his last team, the Brooklyn Nets

Rui Hachimura scored 23 points and Anthony Davis had 22 points and 11 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a three-game skid with a 117-108 victory over the Miami Heat.

Finney-Smith has been away from the Lakers since his partner gave birth to their child on Thursday. He’ll be in the rotation on Sunday, providing depth off the bench. Shake Milton and Gabe Vincent are likely to play fewer minutes than they did on Friday ...

Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points, LeBron James added 29 points with eight assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame the absence of Anthony Davis to earn a 102-101 victory over the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
