For the first time in NBA history, a father-son duo took the court together in front of a packed crowd at Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, California on Sunday evening.
The Los Angeles Lakers head into the 2024-2025 season with plenty of familiar faces, some of which played together for the past two seasons.
The Los Angeles Clippers’ intensity fell to match the aggressive play of the Philadelphia 76ers on New Year’s Day. Jimmy Butler and Avery Bradley shoved each other after fighting for a rebound and were immediately hit with double technical fouls that led to both players being ejected with 7:01 remaining in the fourth quarter. By that time, the 76ers (24-14) were already clinging onto a 15-point advantage and then Joel Embiid returned to the floor to hand the Clippers (21-16) a 119-113 loss Tuesday night at Staples Center. Embiid recorded his NBA-leading 32nd double-double of the season with 28 points
Although three Lakers players scored 20 points or higher, Eastern Conference titan Joel Embiid could not be stopped, shooting 14-20 from the field and hitting two of his three attempts from behind the arc.
The 76ers put on a show in Los Angeles Monday night, as the Clippers came close to ending their five-game slide, but ultimately came up short.
