The Los Angeles Lakers will likely have backup big man Jaxson Hayes for Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Hayes has been upgraded to probable for tonight's game as he is diagnosed with right shoulder soreness.

Lakers star big man Anthony Davis is set to miss at least one week due to an abdominal injury he suffered on Tuesday against the 76ers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with a string of big men in recent weeks. Additional depth at the center position is a genuine area of need. Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes are yet to show they’re reliable options for a potentially deep playoff run.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be very active ahead of the February 6th trade deadline. With a 26-19 record and a team that has very much overachieved this season, their roster is in a prime position to be improved.

The Lakers have glaring needs, including another big and secondary playmaker. Here's who they should go after before the Feb. 6 deadline.

The former lottery pick would be a strong fit next to Anthony Davis within the Los Angeles Lakers rotation and would fit JJ Redick's system.

Top trade target Walker Kessler is "essentially unavailable" in Lakers trade talks due to the Jazz's steep asking price.

With Anthony Davis out for the next week, that won't change the Lakers' plans as far as what they do at the trade deadline.

Tyrese Maxey scored 43 points to lead a Philadelphia 76ers team without injured Joel Embiid and Paul George to a 118-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

Norman Powell scored 22 points, James Harden had a double-double and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 116-102.

With Anthony Davis sidelined due to an abdominal strain, the Lakers are left scrambling to fill the void in their frontcourt.

The Los Angeles Lakers gave Bronny James some meaningful playing time on Tuesday during a 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers and it didn't go well.
