Lakers had a chance to tie in Denver with 2:05 left to play

Free throw missed, outscored by 6 points rest of game

Durant had a Jones fracture.

Denver Nuggets were up 16-3 4.5 minutes into game

Never lost the lead and avenge January defeat vs Lakers

back-to-back edible watch for Lakers vs Pacers tomorrow:

- Luka Doncic (40:24)
- Austin Reaves (38:02)
- LeBron James (33:42, elbow, 41)
- Marcus Smart (32:11)

Two notable Lisfranc injuries, both to right feet

Chet Holmgren (injured in August 2022, missed rookie season, 2026 All-Star)

Jason Preston (injured as Clippers rookie in 2021)

Nuggets a bottom-10 offensive rebound team (just like the Lakers) but Bruce Brown got a massive one there

Bron back. wouldn't be surprised if it's another funny bone situation

LeBron hurt his left elbow

just got back from a meeting and I'm sure there will be more to say but just wanted to share bluntly how upsetting the Yanic injury is

This was part of the last time we spoke. There was a lot to look forward to. Still is! needless to say, speedy recovery to Yanic

Clippers announce that center Yanic Konan Niederhäuser has a Lisfranc injury that requires season-ending surgery.

Mark Williams out at least 2-3 weeks. Devin Booker just got back and Jalen Green is stringing some games together but Phoenix is getting hammered post All-Star break

Darius Garland will not play Friday in San Antonio. Sets up the Vanderbilt alum to play in Tennessee Saturday.

Kawhi Leonard will play on the front end of the back to back.

Spurs are hosting Pistons tonight.

Also … when I play, I have absolutely thrown passes to strangers that were almost like icebreakers. I need people to expect to receive my gifts dammit lol

Hannah you should have seen this man’s face when he threw that pass I knew right then I had to pin that moment somehow

You need aspirin?!???

Celtics, Lakers and more NBA teams riding droughts that feel impossible but aren’t From coast to coast, every franchise has numbers to be proud of — and a few anomalies that make you go, "Really?"

I've been known to drop some easter eggs in stories, whether it's a Clippers/Lakers piece or Power Rankings or tiers

So with Easter a month away, here's a list of NBA items that may be of interest to some

www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Some matchup rankings headed into Lakers at Denver for Thursday night

In January, the Lakers got plenty of points from Luka Doncic but started the comeback with Jaxson Hayes finishing the game due to Deandre Ayton injury. Nikola Jokic was also out, but the stars are all here now

Asked Darius Garland about what was one of my favorite moments of last night's game, his incomplete pass to Kris Dunn

DG: "Yeah, (KD) came down and told me, he was like, 'I ain't had that pass in a long time, nobody threw it in a long time'"

Asked Isaiah Jackson about:

- facing Pacers for first time
- staying ready as 3rd string center
- chemistry with Bennedict Mathurin

When Yanic was ruled out with a right foot injury, I immediately thought of Brook Lopez having his early career interrupted by multiple right foot injuries. Fortunately, Lopez overcame those, and hopefully Yanic avoided a major injury.

Asked Lopez about YKN and Isaiah Jackson

I asked Tyronn Lue about Isaiah Jackson needing to move up the depth chart after Yanic Konan Niederhäuser injury

T Lue provided insight on a challenge that Jackson had as far as playing time: "Just gotta work on the plays, making sure we're executing the plays right"

good morning

pardon on the delay for sharing some sound from last night at Intuit Dome

but I got y'all on my end

Yanic Konan Niederhäuser won’t play in San Antonio or Memphis pending further evaluation for what Clippers are only calling a “right foot injury” for now

First NBA points for Norchad Omier 🇳🇮
