The Los Angeles Lakers‘ big positional weakness is the center position, where they have starter Jaxson Hayes, someone who is best suited to being a backup, and G League players Christian Koloko and Trey Jemison III, both of whom are on two-way contracts.
The center spot will not significantly improve until possibly this offseason, when the Lakers can explore making an addition there through the trade market of free agency. However, they could be getting a bit of help there soon.
Big man Maxi Kleber, who was included in the Luka Doncic trade, has been unable to play due to a broken foot.

LSU baseball travelled to Oklahoma for their first ever meeting as SEC foes on Thursday night. LSU took game one as ace Kade Anderson went the distance for the 2-0 win.
This game was a pitchers’ duel between Kade Anderson and Kyson Witherspoon.
Both starting pitchers looked phenomenal in this one, and it shaped up to be one of those games where the first team to score would win. In the top of the third inning, LSU did just that as Jared Jones hit an RBI single to score Derek Curiel and give LSU a 1-0 lead.

Specifically, he posted 35 points, 20 assists and 17 rebounds, while shooting 12-of-19 in a 126-113 win.

Ja Morant can’t stop playing with fire.
On Thursday night, the Memphis Grizzlies star hit a three against the Miami Heat at Kaseya Center and mimicked shooting a rifle to celebrate.
Morant lacks shame — failing to learn the one lesson everyone’s waiting on him to grasp, which is to grow up already.
Days earlier, Morant landed in hot water for pointing finger guns at the Golden State Warriors’ bench during a 134-125 loss, taunting Warriors guard Buddy Hield after Hield mocked him with the same gesture earlier in the game.

The 56-20 Boston Celtics will play host to the 35-41 Phoenix Suns at their home arena of TD Garden on Friday (April 4) night. The Celtics hope to get back into the win column after seeing their last, extended winning streak snapped at home by the Miami Heat.
The Suns are on a streak of their own, but a losing one, with four losses in a row compounded by a key star player being sidelined, perhaps for the rest of the regular season. Boston may be without a key player as well. The Celtics should win this one without much fuss, but as we saw with Miami, a subpar outing can sink any game.
