Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome to the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

Today we're going to get an injury update from Lakers practice.

We're going to talk a little bit about the team, potentially turning the quarter,

heading into this final stretch.

We'll also open up the mailbag joining me today.

It's editor extraordinaire, Daniel Stark, and Daniel, how are you doing?

How are you holding up with

the Dodgers playing super early in the morning? I think it's what, 3 a.m. Pacific time they're

playing out right now. Yeah, yeah, I was up all night last night. Actually, I got in a nice nap,

so that helped. But yeah, definitely not as tired as I thought I would be at this point. We're

recording this in the afternoon. So I bet a couple hours from now I'll be ready to go to bed and do it all again. But yeah, it was fun. Don't get to experience that much. Like as far as games starting in the middle of the night, I know we have a big, you know, European and Asian fan base, and I know you guys

do that all the time. So I've gained a lot more respect for you guys. This is definitely not easy. I'm happy, you know, it's only two games for the Dodgers here, so I only got to do this one more time. But that's definitely not easy. So shout out to those of you who are up in the middle of the night watching laker games i know that could you know could be frustrating at times with the way

the team plays but uh out to those of you who are up in the middle of the night watching Laker games. I know that could

you know, could be frustrating at times with the way the team plays, but, you know, you guys are

the real ones. Yeah, for sure. It gives you a new appreciation for those fans that are in different

time zones that are up in the middle of the night watching games and doing things like that.

It's crazy how dedicated fans can be really,

really amazing.

But at least the Dodgers got the win.

I'll admit I tried.

I tried.

I caught like the second inning through the fifth inning or so.
