The Los Angeles Lakers are getting ready to begin their playoff run with Luka Doncic joining LeBron James for the first time in their postseason history.
The 17 time NBA champions will face the energetic Minnesota Timberwolves team lead by superstar Anthony Edwards.
Playoffs ready! Bronny James dazzles Lakers teammates with impressive scrimmage performance
The squads split four games against each other during the regular season, but three of those games came before Los Angeles acquired Doncic, who wants to make a big statement with the Lakers, even more after his former team – the Dallas Mavericks – were eliminated from the playoffs Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Bronny James destroys Lakers teammates
Bronny James, the rookie with a lot to prove, is helping the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to face the Minnesota Timberwolves by taking the role of Anthony Edwards in practice, according to the team’s head coach, JJ Redick, who asigned that role to Bronny and veteran guard Shake Milton.
The Lakers posted a video of a scrimmage where Bronny James had a big role, crossing over his teammates, dishing dimes and playing like a veteran with full command of the court. It’s crystal clear that the former USC Trojan has made a lot of improvement and can be a great asset for Los Angeles in the future.
It’s one of the reasons why Bronny James earned a spot on the Lakers‘ playoff roster. The rookie only appeared in 27 games for the team, including one start, while he made most of his time with the South Bay Lakers in the G league. It was good enough to get an A+ from Redick, though. “Ho he has personally handled a lot of attention, good and bad, he doesn’t even break character,” JJ said about the rookie.
Anthony Edwards is ready for the Lakers challenge
Anthony Edwards, considered by NBA analysts like the player that could be the face of the league if he wanted to, loves the challenge of playing the Los Angeles Lakers during the first round of the 2025 playoffs. “I just love it. It’s dope,” Ant said, especially with the Lakers being considered the favorite in the series.
“I love the fact that everybody wants the Lakers to win. That’s how it’s supposed to be. They don’t want the Timberwolves to win. I get it.” Edwards averaged a team-high 27.6 points per game this season with 5.7 rebounds, and the Wolves stumbled to a 22-21 start through Jan 20.
But they went 27-12 the rest of the way, finally getting into a groove following the offseason trade to acquire Julius Randle from the New York Knicks for Karl-Anthony Towns. Randle averaged 18.7 points with 7.1 rebounds and a team-best 4.7 assists on the season. Minnesota’s 17-4 stretch to close out the season came after Randle returned from a groin strain.

Paul Skenes notches 9 strikeouts, leading Pirates to 3-0 win over Dodgers
Friday night's matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates featured an enticing clash between National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes and the reigning World Series champions.Would the Pirates' pitching sensation be humbled by one of the most formidable lineups in Major League Baseball? Or would one of the NL's top pitchers handcuff a Dodgers offense that hasn't yet performed to expectations?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis time around, Skenes prevailed with 6 1/3 scoreless innings in Pittsburgh's 3-0 victory. The right-hander notched nine strikeouts with no walks and five hits allowed.“I think that he’s one of the best in the game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “Tonight, we really couldn’t muster much.”However, Roberts also felt that Dodgers hitters helped Skenes out by continuing a trend of chasing pitches out of their hitting zone."I think that it's hard to […]
Chelsea si poradila s Evertonem a dál drží naději na Ligu mistrů
Anglický reprezentant v brance Evertonu Pickford udržel ve své kariéře proti Chelsea sedmkrát čisté konto, tentokrát ale kapituloval po střele, kterou za hranicí šestnáctky vyslal Jackson. Pro senegalského útočníka to byl desátý ligový gól v sezoně a první od poloviny prosince. Pět minut před koncem se trefil podruhé, ale z ofsajdu. Nejlepší střelec londýnského klubu Palmer, který před rokem dal stejnému soupeři čtyři branky, se tentokrát ke střele vůbec nedostal.Trenér domácích Maresca sledoval zápas kvůli žlutým kartám jen z tribuny a s generálkou na čtvrteční semifinále Konferenční ligy ve Stockholmu mohl být spokojen. Jeho svěřenci si dál udržují šanci, že se po dvouleté přestávce vrátí do Ligy mistrů, kterou bude hrát pět zástupců kolébky fotbalu.Anglická fotbalová liga - 34. kolo:Chelsea - Everton 1:0 (27. Jackson)

Muller aponta mandante difícil de ser batido no Brasileirão: “Arrebentou”
Muller, em participação no programa "Resenha" da ESPN (Reprodução) Muller, antes de Ceará x São Paulo, projetou dificuldades para o Tricolor no Brasileirão. Além dos desfalques, a força do Vozão atuando como mandante fez o ex-jogador descartar o favoritismo atrelado ao time de Luis Zubeldía. Em campo, Pedro Raul e companhia vão contar com o apoio da torcida no Castelão para manter o aproveitamento de 100% no Castelão e somar mais três pontos. “O São Paulo vai jogar contra o Ceará que, em casa, joga bem. O Ceará arrebentou com o Vasco. Sem dúvida nenhuma, diante de todos esses desfalques, o São Paulo vai ter dificuldades. O Ceará vem com o time completo e está fazendo uma boa campanha no Campeonato Brasileiro.”, disse Muller, no programa Gazeta Esportiva.
