It has been, by any measure, a busy summer for the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft and the NBA Summer League MVP. “I look at it pretty simply,” Ball said Mond...

LOS ANGELES >> His play-calling was measured, effective and, at times, even inspired. At the end, it was something else completely, something shocking after witnessing the Rams mostly depress all of last season. Sean McVay’s play-calling, to cap his head-coaching debut Sunday, was celebratory. He ordered his team to assemble in victory formation and his backup quarterback to take a clock-emp...

Despite Noel Mazzone’s departure to Texas A&M, UCLA head coach Jim Mora continues to keep in touch with his former offensive coordinator. They texted regularly this spring and summer, but that communication has stopped this week. It’s game week. “As good of friends as we are, I want to kick his tail and he wants to kick mine,” Mora said Tuesday as the Bruins prepare for their season opener aga...

Tampering is an NBA problem, no doubt. Particularly when the tamperers and tamperees are one and the same. Paul George made it known, through the many media outlets and “industry sources” at his and his agent’s disposal, that he wanted out of Indiana and into Staples Center. His contract doesn’t end until next year. So now the NBA is investigating the Lakers for getting too public about George. This has become the definition of tampering, apparently. You might as well punish an ostrich for buryi...

Throughout the touament portion of the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, most of the Lakers success could be traced back to Lonzo Ball. Ball was named summer league Most Valuable Player.

The gesture usually serves just a photo opportunity. Otherwise the moment becomes forgettable perhaps except for the player holding his uniform. When Lakers rookie forward Kyle Kuzma displayed his No. 0 jersey at his introductory press conference as the team’s No. 27 draft pick on June 29, however, ...

The Lakers had a healthy amount of dialogue both with and about veteran guard Rajon Rondo, and whether he would be a good fit for their young roster.
