Lakers star Luka Doncic spoke about having the same success with the Lakers as previous stars LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

The Los Angeles Lakers left Salt Lake City with a 108-106 win that should have been easier. They almost gave up a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter but managed to hold on in the final seconds.

Unlike JJ Redick, LeBron James isn't too worried about the LA Lakers' shooting woes from beyond the arc. James expressed his confidence in the team's ability to recover their shots from 3-point range.

The star's return was also a chance for free-agent acquisition Jake LaRavia to finally get a chance to play with the NBA's all-time scoring leader.

It was another success for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Jazz did make them sweat with a 17-5 run in the fourth. But the Lakers closed it out on the back of their defense.

LeBron James hasn’t appeared in a contest with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The 40-year-old superstar was diagnosed with sciatica shortly before the start of the 2025-26 campaign, forcing the Lakers to take the floor without their pivotal do-it-all contributor early on.

LeBron James is set to practice with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, marking the first time he will join the team on the court since being sidelined in the preseason with sciatica, multiple outlets reported Sunday.
