Dwight Howard vowed to make a change to commit and improve since the All-Star break, and also says that playing with Kobe Bryant will make him not only a better player, but a better man.

Pau Gasol has made the next step in his rehabilitation process and ran for the first time since tearing his plantar fascia.

Metta World Peace twisted his ankle late in the fourth quarter Tuesday night and blamed it on doing the "Harlem Shake" after hitting a three.

It's been four weeks since Pau Gasol was diagnosed with a plantar fascia tear, but Gasol will seek medical clearance to participate in running drills once the Lakers return home Thursday.

Dwight Howard says that he and Phil Jackson exchange text messages.

Kobe Bryant suffered from an ulnar nerve contusion to his right elbow but returned to the game after being treated by Gary Vitti.

Dwight Howard says that he could have sat out till March while rehabilitating his back and improving his conditioning, but wanted to return as soon as possible to seize "great opportunity" with older teammates.

Dwight Howard says he's making progress with his conditioning and credits this to his ability to move through the paint and grab rebounds down.

The Utah Jazz are on the clock in regards to their plans with the alienated Raja Bell, but the Lakers may not be a likely destination any more.

Pau Gasol is off of crutches and back in the training room and, Steve Nash believes his tweaked back will be healed shortly.
