The NBA’s latest update marks a turning point for the Los Angeles Lakers as the franchise builds toward its next era.

While no NBA team—and certainly not one with a legacy as rich as the Los Angeles Lakers'—hangs a banner for a 2-1 start, the Purple and Gold should be generally pleased with how they've opened the new campaign.

The 2025 NBA Cup is here, which means the weeks-long tournament will tip off on Friday night. We'll get some drama, some in-season intensity as all 30 teams try to win a trophy that will be handed out in Las Vegas. After the Lakers and Bucks have won, we'll see who brings home a title.
