The latest lakers rumors and news are buzzing so lets get right into them! With the Lakers sitting at 13 in the NBA Western Conference standings, LeBron James and the Lakers are in a precarious position.
- The Lakers worked out Meyers Leonard and DeMarcus Cousins over the weekend, and according to Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, both of them looked great and could be a part of the Lakers' future plans.
- Anthony Davis has been ramping up his on-court activity, but is not yet ready to return to action as his foot heals. Davis has been doing light shooting and dribbling, but is not ready for full contact.
- The latest lakers trade rumors are pretty quiet, as ESPN's Dave McMenamin said the Lakers might wait until the 2023 NBA offseason to make a significant trade, if they don't find one they like at the 2023 NBA trade deadline.

Lakers insider Mike Trudell on the latest Anthony Davis injury news:
“He is getting on the court a little bit more, in the half court. You can see here, taking a couple shots, a little bit of dribbling. What he's not doing yet is running up and down the floor, doing full-court activity in that sense. There's no timetable, there's no day set yet. They have to sort of see what he can do in terms of can he do something like this but then also run to the other end of the court and how does his foot feel that day or the next day.”

ESPN's Dave McMenamin on Lakers trade rumors:
“If the right deal emerges that will make them — in their eyes — a better team over the next like three years, that's their priority. They want the team to get to the best level it can get while LeBron James is still on the roster. But if that means not making that deal in February and playing out the rest of this season with the group that they have and knowing that they feel like there's gonna be a better deal in July in the offseason, they'll do that.”
