The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 94-85 in Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round, leveling the series at 1-1. The game, held at Crypto.com Arena, featured significant performances, including Anthony Edwards’ 25 points for Minnesota and Luka Dončić’s 31 points for Los Angeles. The Lakers excelled in free-throw shooting, going 100% from the line, while the Timberwolves struggled with a 38% field goal percentage.
Brandon Miller will miss his second consecutive game due to a shoulder subluxation, sustained during the second quarter of the Hornets' recent loss to the Sixers. He is scheduled for re-evaluation on October 29 after the team returns from their road trip. Want More Context? 🔎
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant emphasized that his passion for basketball drives him, not the desire for fame or to be labeled as one of the NBA's "Faces." He expressed that while he appreciates the recognition, he does not seek the pressures that come with such titles, preferring to focus solely on playing the game he loves. Want More Context? 🔎
The Houston Rockets plan to petition the NBA for a Disabled Player Exception (DPE) for Fred VanVleet, which would allow them to access $12.5 million of his $25 million salary if deemed likely to miss the season. However, the team currently lacks the cap space to utilize this exception, though they prefer to have it available for potential future use. Want More Context? 🔎
