Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison says he underestimated the level of outrage fans would feel before trading superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made an official injury designation regarding Michael Kopech, a key member of their pitching staff.

The Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in February.

BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Angels take on the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Los Angeles has a 21-21 record in home games and a 44-47 record overall. The Angels are 29-8 in games when they scored five or more runs.

The Los Angeles Lakers could potentially lose a valuable piece of their rotation to free agency this offseason.

The Lakers will begin by participating in the California Classic, which starts for them on Saturday, July 5. The main Las Vegas summer league starts on Thursday, July 10, and on that day, they will take on Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers' first four games of the main summer league have been announced.
