There was one gold Lakers jersey for sale at the pop-up merchandise stand in the lobby outside the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo — and it represented why some of the Lakers’ biggest VIPs transformed a practice court into a venue for nearly 700 fans Saturday night — Bronny James. In front of Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, coach JJ Redick, and players D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis and, of course, LeBron James, the Lakers’ rookie began the developmental league portion of his season, scoring six points with three rebounds and four assists in the South Bay Lakers’ 110-96 win over Utah’s G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars. “It felt pretty good to go out there and just play my game,” Bronny James said. “Not much difference. I was just playing basketball. It felt good.” James missed South Bay training camp while he was on the road with the Lakers. For Redick and South Bay coach Zach Guthrie, the goal is to help James make the transition from one roster to the other as smooth as possible. “That’s the beauty of what

After losing her home and almost her life to the Mountain Fire, firefighters helped give a Camarillo woman and her husband a glimmer of hope. Alia Phillips recently returned to the ash and rubble left of the Camarillo home she shared with her husband Sal for two years.  On Tuesday, she was building a life inside – but by Wednesday she was fighting for her life to get out. Moments after the fire jumped Highway 118, Alia was scrambling to evacuate as the flames narrowed in on her home – but was stopped. “When the firefighter comes in and says it’s safer for you to be in your home than trying to escape because there is fire all over the road that was really scary,” Alia told KTLA’s Angeli Kakade. A few moments later, she was told the time to escape was now. “I drive a Prius Prime – that car saved my life. I drove through fire,” said Alia. “There were logs of fire on the road.” Video taken by a neighbor minutes before Alia managed to get down the narrow road shows just

El primer día de octubre, dos ejecutivos de los Dodgers estaban al otro lado del mundo. Poco después del final de la temporada regular, el presidente de operaciones de béisbol, Andrew Friedman, y el vicepresidente de personal de jugadores, Galen Carr, se encontraban en Japón en un viaje de exploración. El centro de su atención: el fenomenal lanzador Roki Sasaki. Durante los últimos años, la oficina de los Dodgers ha adorado a Sasaki, enamorada de su deslumbrante repertorio, encabezado por una bola rápida de tres dígitos.

The incident occurred on Friday when a man returned to his property to assess the damage.

November 9, 2024 / 8:06 PM EST / AP Bobby Allison, founder of racing’s “Alabama Gang” and a NASCAR Hall of Famer, died Saturday. He was 86. NASCAR released a statement from Allison’s family that said he died at home in Mooresville, North Carolina. A cause of death wasn’t given, but Allison had been in declining health for years. Allison moved to fourth on NASCAR’s Cup Series victory list last month when chairman Jim France recognized him as the winner of the Meyers Brothers Memorial at Bowman Gray Stadium in North Carolina in 1971. The sanctioning body updated its record books to reflect the decision, giving Allison 85 wins and moving him out of a tie with Darrell Waltrip.

The Rams are at the midpoint of their season — and they have yet to play a game with the offensive line that coach Sean McVay projected before the season. But they are inching closer. Interior linemen Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila, sidelined since suffering injuries in the season opener against the Detroit Lions, are expected to play Monday night against the Miami Dolphins, McVay said Saturday. “It’s a start to building the foundation that you hoped to build during training camp,” McVay said. Jackson and Avila had been on injured reserve because of shoulder and knee injuries, respectively. They returned to practice this week. Joe Noteboom, who can play guard or tackle, also is set to play for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in the opener. Noteboom practiced last week, but did not play in the Rams’ 26-20 overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks. McVay declined to say what positions Jackson and Avila might play and whether they would start. He also declined to say whether Noteboom or Warren McClendon Jr. would start at right tackle in place of injured Rob

Favorable weather conditions helped thousands of firefighters get the upper hand Saturday on the devastating Mountain fire that has scorched some 20,000 acres, destroyed more than 130 homes and damaged nearly 90 others — while upending the lives of Ventura County residents. The blaze was 21% contained by Saturday evening as crews were dousing mulch fires in agricultural land north of the 118 Freeway just a few miles east from the fire’s origin in the Somis neighborhood. In Santa Paula, firefighters were extinguishing smoky areas in the Santa Clara River bottom, while in the hard-hit Camarillo Heights neighborhood, they were mopping up hot spots some 300 feet in from the fire’s perimeter amid burned-out shells of homes. “A lot of resources are going to be down there today,” Clint Swensen, operations chief with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said of the Camarillo Heights effort. The blaze started shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday morning in a remote area near Bradley and Balcom Canyon roads amid prime Santa Ana wildfire conditions, with wind gusts topping 60 mph and humidity in the single digits —
