"We are extremely honored to have been part of this organization for the last 20 seasons," Joey and Jesse Buss told ESPN in a statement. "Thank you to Laker Nation for embracing our family every step of the way. We wish things could be different with the way our time ended with the team. At times like this, we wish we could ask our Dad what he would think about it all."

Victor Wembanyama is remaining optimistic about his development despite another challenging outing in the new NBA season, after the San Antonio Spurs fell 118-116 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. "Personally, I haven't seen this kind of defense from teams," Wembanyama said. "So we need to adapt as a collective. In the Phoenix game, it was the case as well. We got stalled out sometimes. We're learning."

The Lakers were not whole for their season opener and that meant Luka Doncic had a heavier load to carry while LeBron James sat on the bench injured in this game against rivals Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. So, the question while James recovers from sciatica injury on his right side, is who will fill his void and help Doncic navigate the stretch his running mate is out.

"This project was an amazing, collaborative environment with such creative people and we all came together to try and portray the Lakers' impact, not only in LA but around the world," Natalia Bryant said. "Everyone has their own connection to the Lakers. "I hope those who already love this team watch this project and remember what that pride feels like. And if you're not a Lakers fan yet, I hope you watch this, and it makes you want to be."

The Lakers have, I guess, sniffed around Wiggins. I didn't really understand that.

Dalton Knecht erupted with 25 points on 9-18 shooting, helping the Lakers overturn a 14-point deficit. He scored the first four points for LA and hit his first 3-pointer.
