Per ESPN Research Ant Edwards is now 0-12 on go-ahead/game-tying FGAs in final 5 seconds of 4th quarter or OT in his career.
That’s 2nd-most misses w/out a make by any player since Edwards entered NBA (20-21). Only LeBron has more attempts w/out a make (0-19) during that span. – 6:53 PM

The Lakers have done their due diligence in gauging trade interest around the league, and are open to using their tradeable first-round picks for players who are a fit for this iteration of the Davis-James team as well as for several years to come under Redick, sources said. -via ESPN / January 22, 2025
With the Feb. 6 trade deadline a little more than two weeks away, league sources told ESPN that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are growing concerned about the Lakers’ ability to make significant roster upgrades with their two tradeable first-rounders. James, a four-time champion, and Davis, a one-time champ, have expressed that they want the franchise to make moves to contend for a championship, with the co-stars believing the Lakers are potentially a piece or two away, sources said. -via ESPN / January 22, 2025
“Bronny is his own person and he’s learning and wants to learn and be better and he’s going to continue to learn and he’s going to have his growing moments the same way I did when I was 19-20 in college. It just happens that he’s the son of the greatest basketball player ever to play and people are holding him to a standard that he didn’t… like, he’s not his father. He’s his own person and he continues to work hard and is the best version of himself and as he continues to grow around the people on the team whether it’s South Bay [Lakers] or the Los Angeles Lakers, he’ll eventually hit that stride and we’ll see that he is his own player. Not his father.” -via ScoopB.com / January 21, 2025
Jovan Buha: The Lakers say Bronny James Jr. (illness) has been downgraded to out for tonight’s game vs. Miami. -via Twitter @jovanbuha / January 15, 2025
LeBron went on to say that if naysayers were to meet Bronny, they would feel like “such an idiot” due to him being “the most chill, easy, fun kid in the world.” “I think it’s gonna make him to be even greater, because having to deal with all of the things that he’s dealing with and still being able to come back from a life-threatening situation and still have the motivation,” LeBron added. “He didn’t have to.” -via People / January 15, 2025
