Payton just switched his representation to Bill Duffy, who is the agent of Luka Doncic and Deandre Ayton. ClutchPoints insider Anthony Irwin claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Payton is "very much on the Lakers' radar."

The Lakers' Darius Bazley appeared to suffer a serious leg injury during the second quarter of an NBA Summer League game against the Celtics.

Bronny James used an impressive second half to finish as the Los Angeles Lakers' leading scorer versus the Boston Celtics in the NBA Summer League.

He knows about what it takes to win multiple titles in close proximity as one of the only players to have won multiple titles with 3 different teams.

According to a report from Anthony Irwin of ClutchPoints, Los Angeles is interested in Golden State Warriors' free agent wing Gary Payton II. "There were some whispers connecting Gary Payton II to the Lakers even before he signed with Bill Duffy," Irwin wrote on X. "I can safely say he's very much on the Lakers' radar."

Shaquille O'Neal expects the Los Angeles Lakers to be a top-four seed in the Western Conference during the 2025-26 season.
