Lakers News: Positive Updates On LeBron James' Injury

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 04:19 PM PST

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James is currently playing his 19th season in the NBA. Despite being one of the oldest active players in the league, James continues to establish an impressive performance in the 2021-22 NBA season. In six games he played, the 36-year-old superstar is averaging 24.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.3 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

However, his recent injury showed that father time is already starting to catch up with James.

Latest Injury Report

James is currently on the sideline after suffering an abdominal strain. The four-time NBA champion has already missed the Lakers' last four games and as of now, it remains unknown when he will return to the court. However, NBA insider Brian Windhorst revealed in a recent appearance on ESPN's This Just In that James' injury isn't "severe."

"This is not a severe injury," Windhorst said, as quoted by CBS Sports. "He is rehabbing this, and, from what I am told, the rehab is going well. He may have to do some reconditioning a little bit, but this is not going to keep him out an extended period."

JJ Redick's Comments

James is no doubt one of the best athletes when it comes to taking care of his body. This is one of the main reasons why, despite his age, he could still play at a high level. However, retired NBA player JJ Redick said that James no longer possesses an iron-man body.

After seeing him go down with another injury, Redick said that James is already starting to look like "human."

"It's the first time in my life, and I've known LeBron since he was 15 years old, where LeBron looks human," Redick said on ESPN's Firs Take via Twitter.

Lakers' Injuries Piling Up

James' isn't the only player on the Lakers' roster who is dealing with health issues. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the Lakers only have nine active players on their roster when they recently faced the Miami Heat.

Veteran point guard Rajon Rondo and rookie shooting guard Austin Reeves weren't able to play in the Lakers' 120-117 victory over the Miami Heat as they were both suffering from hamstring sprains. Meanwhile, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, and Trevor Ariza are yet to play a single game in the 2021-22 NBA season as they are still recovering from their respective injuries.

Learning How To Win

After James went down with an abdominal strain, the Lakers suffered back-to-back losses, one from the hand of the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder and the other against the Portland Trail Blazers. However, they managed to bounce back in their games against the Memphis Grizzlies and the Heat where they both walked away with victories in overtime.

While James and their other teammates are recovering, Anthony Davis said that they are focused on trying to find ways to win games.

"So, these last two games have definitely been fun, for sure," Davis said. "Guys are having fun. Guys are realizing and starting to realize how good of a team we are."

Inside Kaley Cuoco's 'Monochrome' $12 Million Hidden Hills Home

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 04:14 PM PST

Kaley Cuoco and her ex-husband, billionaire heir Karl Cook, made headlines in February 2020 when they splashed nearly $12 million on their marital home in Hidden Hills, California. At the time, the couple had been married for two years, although they waited to move in together until they found their dream home.

With the pair going their separate ways in early September 2021, it is believed that Kaley continues to live at the 1.5-acre residence post-divorce. The Flight Attendant star, who turns 36 on November 30, recently posed in front of the home for a glamorous photo shared to her Instagram feed after the couple announced their split.

This suggests she's keeping the Los Angeles manse, which has everything she needs right down to a private horse barn. Check out her stunning house below.

'Monochrome' Mansion

Kaley certainly has a colorful personality but the movie star chose a monochrome palette for her modern home, notes Hello! magazine.

Visitors first laying eyes on the spacious Hidden Hills abode are greeted by a black exterior, whose dark tones make the surrounding vegetation pop. Within the ebony walls, the atmosphere changes to 180 degrees, with all of the interiors featuring a contrasting white tone.

The Big Bang Theory alum recently gave fans a good glimpse at the sleek jet-black facade when she took to Instagram on September 19 to share a slideshow of herself standing in front of her house. She wore a bright yellow Stella McCartney minidress that further emphasized the ember exterior. See the photos below.

Outdoor Pool & Jacuzzi Section

The property comes with an "enormous" backyard equipped with several comfortable amenities, including a swimming pool and a separate jacuzzi section. Among the exterior features is also an enclosed seating area nestled just below the upstairs balcony. Wooden lounge chairs with white cushions complete the scenery, hinting at what visitors can expect to see inside the home.

Kaley gave fans a good look at the pool and her enchanting garden in an Instagram post from April 5. As she prepared to join the SAG awards from home, The Wedding Ringer actress posed in her backyard in a gorgeous Prabal Gurung gown -- a strapless hot-pink number with off-the-shoulder sleeves and lavish floral decoration in the front. See her post below.

Horse Barn & Home Gym

Just when you thought Kaley's backyard couldn't get any bigger, social media photos shared by the actress revealed a chic dining pergola across the pool. Furnished to match the lounging area on the other side, it also includes a quaint stone oven.

The trendy farmhouse-style home comes with a private horse barn large enough to accommodate all of Kaley's equine companions.

Pictured above with her horse Netty, Kaley and her ex-husband are keen equestrians, with Variety reporting that many of the neighbors also have horses. The media outlet also noted the numerous riding trails in the guard-gated community.

The posh L.A. abode is equipped with a home gym, with the Harley Quinn star often sharing her workouts on Instagram. Footage from her home gym was recently posted by her personal trainer, Ryan Sorensen, who shared videos of Kaley's rigorous exercise routine. Scroll through the embed below to see Kaley training with Ryan.

Stunning Bedroom

Upon stepping inside Kaley's luxurious home, guests are greeted by a massive photograph of her horse Pokerface displayed right at the entrance. Ultra-high ceilings and a grand staircase add to the wow factor. The mansion also boasts a top-of-the-line kitchen, whose white furnishings are complemented by an electric-blue island.

Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the all-white decor, with its built-in cupboards and tall headboard adhering to the alabaster aesthetic. The room also features an electric fireplace with a marble surround, framed by exposed shelving.

Kaley offered a glimpse into her stunning bedroom in a video filmed for the SAG awards in April. Watch it below.

Trendy Living Room

Downstairs, the expansive living room is the epitome of modern chic, featuring an extended L-shaped couch, a fireplace, and a mega flatscreen TV mounted on the wall. The lounge space connects to the kitchen via a home bar, with hanging light fixtures creating the perfect ambiance.

Balancing out the nearly all-white interior, black-and-white throws drape the gray couch, as seen in the December 2020 photo above of Kaley's now-ex-husband and their four dogs.

Earlier this year, Kaley posed on the living room's natural wooden floor after coming home from the Golden Globes in March. See the photo below.

Chanel West Coast Goes Full Barbie In Skimpy Gym Look

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 02:03 PM PST

Chanel West Coast is rocking her best Barbie vibes and shouting out gym-ready fashion - while affirming her love of luxury label Louis Vuitton. The 32-year-old rapper and MTV star made 2020 headlines for rocking a Louis Vuitton swimsuit as she went "Louis V in the sea," but it was less about the bikini action and more about the two-piece spandex in a summer share this year.

Posting for her 3.5 million Instagram followers, Chanel stunned in her skimpy two-piece, and she looked like a total doll.

Itty-Bitty Louis Vuitton Crop Top

Scroll for the photos, ones seeing Chanel go "Pink gang." The "No Plans" hit-maker opened shot against stone-painted walls in blue and pink. Posing with her rock-hard abs on show, West Coast showcased her golden tan and muscles while in monogrammed leggings in purple, pink, and black, with the Louis Vuitton emblem also seen on a matching sports bra.

Donning a pink baseball cap and resembling a Barbie doll, the new Miami transplant further sported a monogrammed pink LV bag with a cross-body finish.

See The Photos Below

All parted lips and with pink lipstick on, the former Fantasy Factory face drove fans to swipe right, where a rear-view snap flaunted the famous booty - here, Chanel whipped her head around at just the right time, also sending out a foxy vibe.

West Coast is known for her inability to pick the "best" photo - handy for captions where she asks fans to pick their favorite. "Pic 1 or 2 tho?" the star asked fans. Swipe below for both shots, scroll for more.

A Fast-Food Workout Philosophy

Chanel, last year launching a fitness YouTube channel, has opened up on diet and exercise. In 2019, she spoke to Hollywood Life, revealing the sweat sessions are purely there to balance out the greasy fast-food.

"You need to work out! I mean a lot of people like to start themselves on cute diets but the truth is you can really eat whatever you want as long as you workout on a daily basis. I try to eat healthy but since I work out I still enjoy a large pizza by myself!" she began.

In-N-Out For Life

The LOL Cartel founder continued: "But In & Out burgers and all those things, you can have those as long as you workout."

The "Alcoholic" rapper further stated: "I wouldn't say any workout is bad or I hate it but for women focus on your cardio, because if you do too much weights and you are a woman then you are going to bulk up a little bit you know." West Coast has since made headlines for dropping pandemic weight, even joking about her baggy gym spandex.

Don Lemon Files Legal Complaint Against Megyn Kelly

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 02:01 PM PST

CNN host Don Lemon has filed a legal complaint against former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

Kelly, who now hosts her own show on SiriusXM radio, recently talked to Dustin Hice, a heterosexual man who claims Lemon sexually assaulted him.

Hice is suing Lemon -- who is openly gay and married -- and claims he was assaulted at a bar in Sag Harbor in July 2018.

The CNN host has vehemently denied these accusations, with his lawyers accusing Hice of blackmail and extortion.

Read more below.

Hice's Allegations

As The New York Post reported, Hice claims Lemon rubbed his hands on his genitalia before shoving them before Hice's face.

Hice told Kelly that he "wouldn't be surprised" if Lemon sexually harassed other people as well.

"Anybody that acts like that in public without any fear of what it might do to somebody or the consequences it might have, that's a pattern," Hice said.

"He's protected by the fact that he's African American, gay man on television and I'm just some nobody," he argued.

Watch a clip of the interview below.

Legal Complaint

In a legal letter, Lemon's attorney Caroline J. Polisi accused Kelly of allowing Hice to make "false and misleading" statements "unchallenged," as reported by Newsweek.

"For years, you have made public statements-on social media, to the press, and on your show-recklessly accusing Mr. Lemon of being biased, of lying to viewers, and of treating his guests unfairly," Polisi's letter claims.

"Although you advertise your podcast as featuring 'honest' conversations without BS' or 'agenda,' your podcast today, in which you interviewed Dustin Hice, reveals that you only pay lip service to journalistic ethics," the lawyer writes.

Demands For Correction

Polisi claims in her legal complaint that Kelly has a responsibility to offer her listeners a correction, and notes that Hice initially did not even claim Lemon sexually assaulted him.

According to Polisi, Kelly should have "at a minimum" reviewed publicly available filings, which "substantially" undermine the "outlandish story he fabricated."

"You did not pose any questions to Hice about these matters, but instead, accepted his narrative wholesale, leaving your listeners with a lopsided and inaccurate understanding of Mr. Hice's allegations or the strength of the evidence he has against Mr. Lemon," the letter concludes.

Not About Money, Hice Claims

As Black Enterprise reported, Hice told Kelly that his lawsuit against Lemon was never about the money.

"This isn't about me trying to get money… At this point, I just want my life back. I don't see any kind of settlement happening without an admission of guilt or an apology, but I seriously doubt with his ego and pride that's going to happen," Hice said, claiming that he is being silenced by Lemon and others.

"Their comments have influenced people to the fact where they're calling me a liar, and there are many other websites that have taken their words and formulated their own narrative on who I am and what I've done and what I'm looking for -- my intentions here," Hice concluded.

Sixers Rumors: Philly 'Legitimately Made Sense' As Trade Destination For Kyrie Irving, Says NBA Exec

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 01:25 PM PST

The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to be one of the most active teams on the trade market before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. As the drama surrounding the team worsens, most people believe that the departure of Ben Simmons from the Sixers is inevitable. However, the Sixers don't plan on dealing Simmons just for the sake of getting out of the City of Brotherly Love.

If they decide to move him, it would be in a deal that would allow them to acquire an All-Star caliber player in return.

Sixers Linked To Kyrie Irving

One of the players that the Sixers could target in the potential deal involving Simmons is All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets. In a recent article, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype talked about Irving's situation in Brooklyn. If the Nets decide to trade him, one league executive who spoke to HoopsHype believes that the Sixers "legitimate made sense" as a potential trade destination for Irving.

"I would've said Philly legitimately made sense with the swap of Ben Simmons and Kyrie," the NBA executive said. "That's a team I could've seen who's going for it and needs a scoring guard. That's literally the only one I could see."

Sixers Finally Get An All-Star

On paper, swapping Simmons for Irving should be a no-brainer for the Sixers. Irving perfectly fits the description of the player that the Sixers are looking for in the potential deal involving their disgruntled superstar. Irving is a seven-time NBA All-Star with plenty of championship experience.

He would give the Sixers an immediate replacement for Simmons at the starting point guard position. His potential arrival in Philadephia would boost the Sixers' offense as they would be getting a prolific scorer, an incredible playmaker, and an elite three-point shooter. Last season, he averaged 26.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

Kyrie Irving's Family

Like the Nets, joining forces with Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, Danny Green, and Seth Curry in Philadelphia would give Irving a realistic chance of reaching the NBA Finals and capturing the Larry O'Brien Trophy in the 2021-22 NBA season. However, according to Scotto, there's another major reason why a trade to the Sixers would make a lot of sense for Irving.

"In theory, from a geographical perspective, it would keep Irving close to New Jersey, where he has family ties, and allow him the opportunity to play with a dominant big man, Joel Embiid, in pick-and-roll action and spread the floor more efficiently for the 76ers," Scotto wrote.

Ben Simmons' Questionable Fit

With his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, trading Irving for Simmons would definitely be worth exploring for the Nets. Unlike Irving, Simmons is vaccinated and physically ready to play. Having an elite defender like Simmons on their roster would give the Nets the much-needed boost on the defensive end of the floor.

However, it wouldn't also be a surprise if the Nets decide to pass on swapping Irving for Simmons. Despite what he could contribute to their defense, Scotto thinks that Simmons is a "bad fit" with Kevin Durant and James Harden since he also needs the ball in hands to become effective on the court.

LeBron James Mocks Kyle Rittenhouse For Crying In Court

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 01:06 PM PST

On August 25, 2020, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse wounded one and killed two people in the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The young man was arrested and charged with multiple counts of homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm, but his defense lawyers claim he acted in self defense and shot at the three rioters because they threatened him and one pulled out a gun.

The case has polarized the nation, with some expressing sympathy with Rittenhouse and others condemning his actions.

NBA star LeBron James weighed in on the case Thursday.

James Laughs At Rittenhouse

Rittenhouse's trial is ongoing, both his lawyers and the prosecutors have been making their case for the past several days. Unsurprisingly, the trial has attracted nationwide interest, with members of the press paying close attention to what is going on.

Rittenhouse spoke in court yesterday, but he was unable to form coherent sentences. Emotional and visibly shaken up, Rittenhouse cried and struggled to speak.

A clip of Rittenhouse apparently caught James' attention. The NBA star took to Twitter to laugh at Rittenhouse, and suggested that the shooter wasn't even upset, but just putting on a show.

Critics Slam James

Thousands of people liked and shared James' tweet, suggesting that many agree with his assessment of the situation.

However, as Fox News reported, dozens of prominent figures slammed the basketball star.

"You're literally known as the king of faking injuries, flopping, and crying to refs. Maybe sit this one out?" Cabot Phillips, a reporter at The Daily Wire, wrote to James.

"You are a remarkably immature person, using your platform to mock a teenager like a 12 year old trying to impress his friends," author Chad Felix Greene tweeted.

More Reactions

"If you buy anything he endorses, or watch NBA games, this is what you're subsidizing," radio host Derek Hunter wrote, while Relatable host Allie Beth Stuckey called James a "genuinely terrible and unintelligent person."

"There's only one American 'King,' and he's buried in Memphis," Fox News hos Laura Ingraham wrote to King James.

"It should give you pause if you're ever on the same side as this guy, one of the most consistently morally awful people," novelist Frank J. Fleming tweeted.

Many other prominent conservatives echoed these sentiments.

White Supremacy

Liberals, on the other hand, claim that Rittenhouse might not even end up being convicted due to white supremacy.

For instance, in an interview with Democracy Now, justice correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal said he knows "what white people are willing to do to defend white supremacy" and slammed the judge in Rittenhouse's trial.

"What we have is a judge who, from my perspective, has pre-judged the trial in favor of Rittenhouse and has decided -- again, even at the pretrial stage -- to use every bit of his power to put his thumb on the scale towards Rittenhouse's side. And that was obvious before the trial started," Mystal said.

Lourdes, meanwhile, makes fall headlines for opening up to Interview Mag.

On Her Goals

The feature, seeing Leon reveal that mom Madonna doesn't give any of her six kids "handouts," also brought the star talking about her life goals.

"I don't have a specific goal. I probably should. Financially, modeling is a smart decision. I enjoy being very hands on with the campaigns I do, so that I'm not just modeling, per se," she said, adding:

"I dance, I have a very specific sense of style, and I'm interested in aesthetics, so I like to incorporate all those parts of myself into my projects. I don't know how I feel about acting yet."

NBA Rumors: Karl-Anthony Towns To Warriors, Ben Simmons To Timberwolves In Proposed Three-Way Blockbuster

Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:34 PM PST

As the 2021-22 NBA season goes deeper, several crazy trade ideas have started to surface in the league. These include a hypothetical three-team trade scenario that would send All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns to the Golden State Warriors and disgruntled star Ben Simmons to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In the proposed trade scenario by Kenneth Teape of NBA Analysis Network, the Warriors would get Towns, Jake Layman, and a 2023 second-round pick, the Timberwolves would receive Simmons, James Wiseman, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2022 second-round pick, while the Sixers would acquire Andrew Wiggins, Jaden McDaniels, and a 2022 first-round pick.

Fearsome Foursome

Trading Wiseman, Wiggins, and multiple future draft assets would undeniably be a tough decision for the Warriors, but it would be worth it if it means acquiring a player of Towns' caliber. Towns would fulfill their dream of adding a fourth superstar who would help Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green reclaim their throne and revive their dynasty in the 2021-22 NBA season.

It would still take time for Towns to familiarize himself with Coach Steve Kerr's system but once he builds chemistry with Curry, Thompson, and Green, the Warriors could form another fearsome foursome in Golden State.

Towns On-Court Impact

Towns would be an incredible addition to the Warriors. His potential arrival in Golden State would significantly improve their performance on both ends of the floor. He would be an upgrade over Wiseman at the Warriors' starting center position, giving them a very reliable scoring option under the basket, a monster rebounder, on-court facilitator, rim protector, and floor-spacer.

This season, Towns is averaging 22.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 steals while shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

A No-Brainer For Timberwolves

The proposed three-team blockbuster deal would make a lot of sense for the Timberwolves if Towns is no longer interested in being the face of the franchise. By trading Towns, the Timberwolves would be acquiring one of their top trade targets in Simmons, an immediate replacement for KAT at the starting center position in Wiseman, and two future draft assets.

Wiseman and Simmons could immediately join D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, and Malik Beasley and form the Timberwolves' new core in the post-Towns era.

Does The Trade Make Sense For The Sixers?

While the hypothetical deal seems beneficial for the Warriors and the Timberwolves, it remains a big question mark if the Sixers would even entertain such a trade scenario. The package that includes Wiggins, McDaniels, and a future first-round pick clearly doesn't match the Sixers' asking price for Simmons.

Wiggins may be currently establishing an impressive performance in the 2021-22 NBA season, but he's still far from reaching the All-Star level. As of now, the Sixers remain hopeful that they could get Bradley Beal or Damian Lillard for Simmons.
