Lakers blow a 20-point fourth-quarter lead and win when LeBron James makes two late free throws in win over the Suns.

The veteran forward, who fell out of the rotation when LeBron James returned from injury, could see playing time Sunday with Austin Reaves sidelined.

Lakers star Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a mild left calf strain and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week, the team said after practice Friday.

The Lakers' defense has become a glaring weakness, the team ranking 28th in defensive rating over its last 10 games while giving up dangerous transition opportunities.

Austin Reaves has to score for this version of the Lakers to beat a team like the San Antonio Spurs. He has to score because they can't stop anyone.

From Marcus Smart returns, to the Lakers' bench falling flat, here are three takeaways from the NBA Cup quarterfinal loss to the Spurs.

The Lakers trailed by as much as 24 points in the fourth quarter while losing to the Spurs in an NBA Cup quarterfinal game.

Joey and Jesse Buss, fired last month as Lakers executives, have explored pursuing an ownership stake in baseball's Athletics.

Luka Doncic finishes with 31 points and LeBron James finishes with 29 as the Lakers cap their Eastern Conference trip with a 112-108 win over Philadelphia.

He missed the last two games for personal reasons but is off the injury report and likely to be in the lineup against the 76ers on Sunday at Philadelphia.
