Lily Allen isn’t getting involved in her daughters’ relationship with her ex David Harbour.
Following the former couple’s breakup in February after four years of marriage, the “Smile” singer—who is mom to Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 12, with ex-husband Sam Cooper—shared that the Stranger Things star still keeps in touch with his stepkids.
But as Lily told The Observerin an interview published Dec. 20, “I stay out of it.”
Indeed, the 40-year-old—who alluded to infidelity in their relationship on her recent album West End Girl—pointed out that her kids are able to stay connected with David, 50, without her involvement.
“They’ve both got phones,” she continued. “They all text each other.”
Shortly after David exchanged vows with Lily in September 2020, he described the positive impact that Ethel and Marnie had made on his life after being “thrust into” a paternal role.
“I’m in a relationship with three women who all have very different opinions of me at various times,” he told People that December. “Making that kind of a commitment, which I haven’t for most of my life, was a huge thing for me. And it just makes you feel a little bit more like a man, to be honest. I just feel a little bit more like an adult.”

Pain levels are also mixed, with some experiencing no stomach issues while others report upset tummies.
The race for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft is solidifying after 15 weeks of the 2025 season. Only five teams have at least a 1% chance at landing the top pick, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) projections. So we called on our NFL reporters and analysts to size up each of those bottom-tier franchises again after taking a look at midseason.
Our NFL Nation reporters looked at what went wrong for each team to get them in this position. Seth Walder used FPI to make sense of each teams’ chances in their final three games. Dan Graziano rated each team’s likelihood of trading the No. 1 pick on a 1-10 scale. And finally, Jordan Reid spun it forward and suggested one prospect each front office could consider if it kept the top selection.
Let’s start with the Raiders, who currently have the best odds at the first pick.
FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 37.6% FPI chance to earn top-five pick: 92.7%
What was the biggest problem this season?
Las Vegas has been a complete mess on offense. Since firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, the Raiders have scored only 31 points in three games. They totaled 75 yards in a 31-0 loss to the Eagles this past Sunday. Quarterback Geno Smith has regressed over the course of the season, and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has been underwhelming. The offensive line’s inability to hold protection or create space hasn’t helped either player. The Raiders are currently 22nd in pass block win rate (61.0%) and tied for 18th in run block win rate (70.6%). — Ryan McFadden
What lies ahead in the schedule? Are they favored in any remaining games?
They aren’t favored in any games but don’t make the mistake of thinking that the Raiders have the No. 1 pick locked up. Their Week 17 game is against the Giants, who are fourth on this list, and Week 18 is against an already eliminated Chiefs team. Who knows what that game will look like. — Walder
On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it they would trade the pick?
1. All of these grades will be based on whether the team likes the top QB prospect — Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza or whomever else it could become — enough to justify taking him No. 1. The Raiders desperately need a real, long-term solution at quarterback and would be foolish to let an opportunity to draft one slip past them. — Graziano
Who is the best prospect fit right now for them at No. 1?
Mendoza. Adding Smith as a veteran presence backfired. The Raiders desperately need a franchise QB, and this year’s Heisman Trophy winner could fill that void as the top option in this class. His toughness, poise and accuracy are traits that can translate quickly. The franchise hasn’t selected a QB in Round 1 since 2007, when it took Jamarcus Russell with the top pick. — Reid
FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 20.3% FPI chance to earn top five pick: 89.3%
What was the biggest problem this season?
Offense. For the second straight season, the Browns have one of the most anemic offenses in the NFL. Cleveland is tied with Tennessee for the lowest mark in yards per play (4.3) this season. The Browns are last in offensive EPA, per NFL Next Gen Stats, and have cycled through three different starting quarterbacks — Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. But the issues span beyond the QB, from an oft-injured and underperforming offensive line to a lack of playmakers on the outside. — Daniel Oyefusi
What lies ahead in the schedule? Are they favored in any remaining games?
They are most certainly not favored in any games. The Browns face the Bills, Steelers and Bengals, a high degree of difficulty stretch. FPI favors Cleveland’s opponents by at least 8.5 points in each of those matchups, though it remains to be seen what the state of the Bengals is in Week 18. Still, Browns fans hoping to see their team lose out have a good chance of that happening.— Walder
On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it they would trade the pick?
4. Anyone who tells you they know what the Browns are going to do at QB next season is lying. They have two rookies (Sanders and Gabriel), Deshaun Watson still on the roster at a price of $46 million and two first-round picks in 2026. If they fall in love with Mendoza, I feel confident they’d take him here. If they aren’t in love with any QB prospect and feel good about Sanders, Gabriel and/or Watson for one more season, then they could trade it and address the problem with even more draft capital in 2027. — Graziano
Who is the best prospect fit right now for them at No. 1?
Mendoza. I don’t think Gabriel and Sanders have shown enough this season to stop the Browns from continuing to find their long-term answer under center. This season, the Browns are 30th in passing yards per game (171.9) and last in Total QBR (24.6). Arguably the most consistent passer in this class, Mendoza has the potential to bring stability to a franchise that has lacked it since Baker Mayfield was traded in 2022. — Reid

Stephen A. Smith calls out Browns coach Kevin Stefanski for refusing to develop other quarterbacks while the team tries Shedeur Sanders at QB.
FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 18.9% FPI chance to earn top-five pick: 88.9%
What was the biggest problem this season?
Lack of complementary football. There have been games when the Titans’ defense played well but eventually wore down after being on the field too much because the offense couldn’t sustain drives. Tennessee is currently 28th in time of possession and second worst in total yards per game (250.5). But the offense has given the defense a chance to close out games, like in Week 11 (a 16-13 loss to Houston). It didn’t happen. — Turron Davenport
What lies ahead in the schedule? Are they favored in any remaining games?
They aren’t favored in any games by FPI, but there are a couple of winnable games. The Titans are getting the Chiefs fresh off their playoff elimination and without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (torn ACL). Will Kansas City pack it in in a meaningless game? It wouldn’t be that shocking. And though the Saints are playing well, that’s not a sure-fire loss for Tennessee in Week 17. But Week 18 could easily be a loss if the game is meaningful for the Jaguars’ playoff hopes. — Walder
On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it they would trade the pick?
9. I’d be shocked if Tennessee took a QB at No. 1 two years in a row. It has never happened. The only reason it’s not a 10 is because a new coach could decide he’s not sold on rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Though, why take the job if that’s the case? This front office, led by first-year general manager Mike Borgonzi, drafted Ward No. 1 last spring and believes in him. So trading the pick for future draft capital would make sense. — Graziano
Who is the best prospect fit right now for them at No. 1?
Arvell Reese, Edge/linebacker, Ohio State. In need of talent on both sides of the ball, Reese is a versatile defender who’s capable of playing edge rusher and off-ball linebacker. His combination of explosiveness, power and physicality are all qualities that give him the potential to be a building block for a defense that already has star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. — Reid
FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 16.1% FPI chance to earn top five pick: 76.3%
What was the biggest problem this season?
The entire program. The Giants fired coach Brian Daboll, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen and assistant defensive line coach Bryan Cox at different points this season. The defense has been extremely disappointing given the talent (tied for 30th in yards allowed per play), but that is just part of a bigger problem. The Giants’ leadership, culture and locker room are all sour. How else do you explain winning five of the past 31 games? — Jordan Raanan
What lies ahead in the schedule? Are they favored in any remaining games?
FPI, which is particularly fond of the Giants this season, favors them this week against the Vikings (though Minnesota is a 3-point favorite at DraftKings). Next week, both the betting line and FPI agree the Giants should be favored against the Raiders. And our model makes the Cowboys-Giants Week 18 game a pick ’em. All of that is a big part of the reason why the Giants aren’t higher on this list. — Walder
On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it they would trade the pick?
8. Similar to what I said about the Titans, except that the Giants could have a new coach and new GM if Joe Schoen is replaced. And if that new leadership has concerns about quarterback Jaxson Dart‘s durability and felt 100 percent convinced on a QB prospect in this class, maybe they make that move. But again, it would be a major surprise from an organization that has reason to believe in last spring’s first-round selection. — Graziano
Who is the best prospect fit right now for them at No. 1?
Reese. Like the Titans, the Giants have their QB in place with Dart. With edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026, Reese could turn into an edge rusher, off-ball linebacker hybrid if Thibodeaux is not brought back. Simply taking a best player available approach, he would make a lot of sense as another key addition on a defense with plenty of young talent. — Reid

Why a full offseason could be key for Jaxson Dart’s growth
Jason McCourty and Jeff Saturday explain how the upcoming offseason will be important for Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart.
FPI chance to earn No. 1 pick: 6.8% FPI chance to earn top five pick: 77.8%
What was the biggest problem this season?
Everything except special teams. The defense regressed badly under defense-minded coach Aaron Glenn and coordinator Steve Wilks, resulting in Wilks’ firing after 14 games. The offense was weighed down by poor quarterback play, as the Justin Fields experiment was a resounding failure that cost them $30 million in guarantees. The Jets have some players on offense, but neither Fields, Tyrod Taylor nor Brady Cook were able to galvanize the unit. The team is currently ranked 27th in Total QBR (40.6). — Rich Cimini
What lies ahead in the schedule? Are they favored in any remaining games?
The Jets aren’t favored at the Saints, against the Patriots and at the Bills to close out the season. The Saints are playing well enough that they probably will be able to take care of the Jets, so the big risk comes in Week 18 if the Bills have already lost the AFC East and don’t have much to play for. — Walder
On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it they would trade the pick?
1. The Jets are a complete blank slate at QB moving forward. They don’t have any major cap issues connected with Fields or Aaron Rodgers anymore. They need a star at QB and would be unwise to pass up a chance to draft one with the top pick. — Graziano
Who is the best prospect fit right now for them at No. 1?
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon. With five first-round picks over the next two seasons, the Jets have the most draft capital of any of the QB-needy teams. They’d love to keep that future capital to build around Moore after the Fields signing did not work out. Moore’s poise and ball placement project well in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand’s system given his potential as a true distributor. — Reid
Today was the deadline for Google to reveal how it’s complying with Judge James Donato’s order to crack open Android for third-party app stores, stop illegally tying its Google Play Billing system to its app store, and let developers link to ways to download their apps outside the Play Store in the US.
But Google isn’t just letting app developers do things however and whenever they’d like. The company’s quietly updated its support pages with a January 28th deadline to enroll in specific Google programsfor “alternative billing” and “external content links” — and these programs will come with large alternative fees of their own, assuming Judge Donato doesn’t opt for Epic and Google’s proposed settlement instead.
While it isn’t collecting fees yet, Google says it will charge developers $2.85 for every app and $3.65 for every game a user installs within 24 hours of clicking a link that takes you outside Google’s app store to download them outside the Google ecosystem.
Plus, it’ll take a 20 percent cut of any in-app purchases and 10 percent of any auto-renewing subscriptions. Apps still need to be submitted to Google for review, use a Google API to track them, and developers have to report all transactions (including $0 free trials) if they want to participate.
Google’s service fees for external links.Image: Google
Meanwhile, developers who want to offer their own billing solutions will only get a 5 percent discount compared to Google’s current fees, likely making it not worth the effort to try alternative billing at all. Google will charge 25 percent for in-app purchases and 10 percent for auto-renewing subscriptions there; devs will need to integrate a Google API to track those, and report all transactions within 24 hours.
The company will cap some of these fees at 10 percent of a developer’s first $1 million of earnings, making it a bit easier for small developers, but perhaps no easier than it is currently. Google already offers a similar cap at 15 percent, so this too is a 5 percent discount.
How will Judge James Donato react? When Apple told Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers it would require a 27 percent fee for external payments in the parallel Epic v. Apple case, she found Apple in contempt of court, and an appeals court backed up that decision just days ago. However, the appeals court did suggest that Apple may be able to collect some fee, writing that:
Apple should be able to charge a commission on linked-out purchases based on the costs that are genuinely and reasonably necessary for its coordination of external links for linked-out purchases, but no more.
Google currently claims that “the fees associated with the external content links program reflect the value provided by Android and Play and support our continued investments across Android and Play.”
But Google also says it won’t collect any fees quite yet, writing:
In the future, Google intends to apply a service fee on successful transactions and downloads completed via external content links. At this time, however, Google is not assessing these fees and is therefore not requiring developers in this program to report these transactions or downloads to Google.
In their joint progress report today, Epic and Google’s lawyers write that while Epic agrees with the January 28th deadline and other requirements, “Epic has indicated that it opposes the service fees that Google announced it may implement in the future and that Epic will challenge these fees if they come into effect.”
Of course, none of this will come to pass if Judge Donato accepts Google and Epic’s proposed settlement instead, which would generally apply worldwide (instead of just in the US) and comes with lower standard transaction fees.
But Google signaled that settlement, too, would come with fees on alternative billing and external app downloads, and Judge Donato seemed skeptical of the settlement in November. He’s ordered an evidentiary hearing on January 22nd before he makes a decision.
Since Google’s support pages seem to be fluid as Epic v. Google continues, we’ve archived copies of their current text below.

Sarah Barshop covers the Los Angeles Rams for ESPN. She joined ESPN in 2016 to cover the Green Bay Packers for ESPN Milwaukee. She then moved to Houston to cover the Texans. She came to ESPN after working as a writer and editor for Sports Illustrated.
Brady Henderson is a reporter for NFL Nation and covers the Seattle Seahawks for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2017 after covering the team for Seattle Sports 710-AM.
Through the first 15 weeks, the Seahawks looked like one of the best teams in the NFL while compiling an 11-3 record.
On Thursday night, with so much on the line in one of the biggest regular-season games in recent memory, they looked like a team of destiny. The story was all but written about how Seattle would have to take the long road in the playoffs, with two losses to the Rams essentially ending its hopes of winning the NFC West and claiming the conference’s top seed, with the first-round bye and home-field advantage that comes with it.
But the Seahawks are now in the driver’s seat for both after an utterly improbable comeback. Seattle erased a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, after the game was turning into a blowout following two Sam Darnold interceptions against the same team that picked off four of his passes last month at So-Fi Stadium.
The Seahawks got a special teams touchdown by Rashid Shaheed to kick off their comeback, which continued with Darnold throwing a touchdown late in regulation and another one in overtime.
Mike Macdonald went for two and the win, and Darnold delivered, hitting tight end Eric Saubert in the back of the end zone, capping a thrilling win and punching Seattle’s ticket to the playoffs.
Before Thursday, the Seahawks were 0-155-0 all time when trailing by 16-plus points in the fourth quarter, according to ESPN Research.
Here are the most important things to know from Thursday night for both teams:
Most surprising performance: The Seahawks entered Week 16 allowing the second-fewest points of any defense in the NFL. You rarely see Macdonald’s unit get gashed the way it did Thursday night.
Explosive passing plays were the big issue, as Stafford hit them early and often, completing seven throws for 25-plus yards. The Rams racked up 257 yards in the first half — which was eight more than they managed over four quarters in their win over Seattle in Week 11 —and finished with 581. Even with some longer-developing plays, the Seahawks did not sack Stafford.
But in the end, the defense came up big without safety Coby Bryant, nickelback Nick Emmanwori and cornerback Riq Woolen, who all went down in the fourth quarter.
Trend to watch: The Shaheed trade is paying off big. The speedy receiver made two catches on the Seahawks’ winning field goal drive last week, continuing his emergence as a secondary option to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
On Thursday night, Shaheed returned a punt 58 yards for a touchdown to kick-start Seattle’s fourth-quarter rally. It was Shaheed’s second return touchdown since the Seahawks acquired him before the deadline from New Orleans for fourth- and fifth-round picks. Shaheed added a 31-yard carry.
Stat to know:Kenneth Walker III had a 55-yard run for a touchdown as well as a 46-yard catch on a screen play. He’s the first Seattle running back with a 40-yard reception and 40-yard rush in the same game since Shaun Alexander in 2002 against the Vikings, per ESPN Research.
The Seahawks’ run game has been a slog for much of the season, and running back screens haven’t been a big part of Klint Kubiak‘s offense. But Seattle had both going against the Rams. Walker (100 yards) and Zach Charbonnet (32) combined for 132 rushing yards, and each scored a touchdown.
Turning point. The Seahawks’ fourth-quarter rally included one of the stranger 2-point tries. Darnold’s quick screen to Charbonnet was tipped at the line of scrimmage and rolled into the end zone for what looked like an incomplete pass. But Charbonnet made a head’s-up play, grabbing the ball at the goal line just in case. Officials reviewed the play and determined that Darnold’s pass went backward, meaning it was a fumble that Charbonnet recovered for a successful try. The Seahawks converted 2-point tries on their final three touchdowns. — Brady Henderson
The Rams entered the game with a 62% chance to win the NFC West, but after their loss to the Seahawks, those chances dropped to 25%, according to ESPN Analytics.
The Rams fell to the No. 5 seed in the NFC after Seattle took over the No. 1 spot. Los Angeles’ final two games are against the Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football” in Week 17 and at home against the Arizona Cardinals.
After the Rams took a 30-14 lead in the fourth quarter, their win probability sat at 97%, according to ESPN Analytics. Had Los Angeles won, it would have had a 91% chance to win the NFC West.
Instead, the Rams are no longer in the driver’s seat in the NFC West.
What to make of the QB performance: Even without an injured Davante Adams, who was inactive after aggravating his left hamstring injury in Week 15, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was more effective for much of the game against a Seahawks defense that had a lot of success when these teams played in Week 11. On Thursday night, Stafford completed 29 of 49 passes for 457 yards and 3 touchdowns, including one in overtime, but it was not enough for a victory. His 457 passing yards are the fifth most in a game in Rams history and most since Jared Goff had 517 in 2019 Week 4.
Trend to watch:Puka Nacua has 573 receiving yards in his past three games. It’s the most in a three-game span since Josh Gordon had 649 for the Browns in 2013. With Adams injured, Stafford relied even more on Nacua, whose 225 receiving yards are the most by a Rams player since Isaac Bruce in 1997.
Stat to know: Entering Thursday, the Rams were the only team in the NFL that had yet to allow a rush of 30 or more yards, according to ESPN Research. That ended against Seattle on Thursday, when Walker ran for a 55-yard touchdown in the third quarter. — Sarah Barshop

The 2025-26 version of James is also like no other previous version of himself. Sciatica forced him to miss opening night for the first time in his career. After sitting out the Los Angeles Lakers‘ first 14 games, he has shown more inconsistency and a different play style than ever before.
With his 41st birthday just 12 days away, he looks mortal. And he’s taking a clearer backseat to teammates Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for the 18-7 Lakers.
Let’s examine how James looks different this season compared to the past two decades — and what that means for the Lakers, who need an elite version of the future Hall of Famer if they want to contend in a top-heavy Western Conference.
For just about any other player in NBA history, simply playing into his 40s would be a remarkable accomplishment. Scoring 17.6 points per game would be unprecedented. The previous scoring leader at this age was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who averaged 10.1 points in his age-41 season, at the end of a long, gradual aging curve. His last season with at least 24 points per game came when he was 33.
James, in contrast, averaged at least 25 points for 20 consecutive years after his rookie campaign, dipping only slightly to 24.4 last season.
Year-by-year points per game from scoring leaders
That longevity and consistency helped James pass Abdul-Jabbar on the career leaderboard. The Hall of Fame center scored more points during each player’s peak age range, but James got a head start by entering the NBA right out of high school and never really declined — until now.
James’ 6.8 PPG drop is the largest among any of the 47 players who averaged at least 20 PPG last season. (At the same time, Reaves’ 7.6 PPG increase is the largest for any 20-point scorer last season.)
A large part of that decline is a deterioration of James’ historic consistency. He has three games with at least 20 points this season, but he has also had games with 13, 11, 10 and eight points. That eight-point outing, most famously, ended his record 1,297-game streak of double-digit points in the regular season.
Generally speaking, production in the NBA is a function of efficiency and volume — and James’ scoring downturn is the result of problems on both ends of that equation. GeniusIQ tracks the expected effective field goal percentage for every player in the NBA, based on factors such as shot distance and defender location. And in every season of the tracking era (since 2013-14) until now, James had overperformed his expected eFG%.
In 2025-26, though, James has slightly underperformed his shot quality for the first time on record.
A different playing style
On top of his efficiency dropping, James is also receiving fewer opportunities to score. In every previous season of his career, his usage rate was at least 28%, and he ranked among the league’s top dozen players in each of his first 20 seasons. In his 21st and 22nd seasons, he fell only slightly, to 21st and 14th place, respectively.
James has never before driven so little of his team’s offense. To wit:
James is touching the ball for 4.32 minutes per 100 possessions, according to GeniusIQ. His previous low in the tracking era was 7.23 minutes; last season it was 7.56. That year-over-year drop is the second largest for any rotation player this season. (The largest belongs to Tyler Herro, now playing in a new offensive system in Miami.)
James has 8.0 drives per 100 possessions, per GeniusIQ, down from 14.5 last season. His previous low was 11.3.
James is using 7.1 isolations per 100 possessions, per GeniusIQ, down from 11.4 last season. He has never been below 9.1 before.
When he’s the ball handler, James is receiving 10.7 picks per 100 possessions, down 59% from last season’s 26.2, according to GeniusIQ.
The pattern is the same across every play type; basically, every graph of James’ usage stats looks like this:
There’s some year-to-year variation from the start of the tracking era through last season, but generally tremendous consistency over that span — especially considering that James aged from 29 to 40 in that time. But then comes the 2025-26 season and a sudden drop-off.
James is still productive and efficient when he does run the offense. He ranks in the 83rd percentile in iso scoring, and in the 92nd percentile on picks. He’s just not receiving nearly as many opportunities, instead picking and choosing his spots more than ever before.
James’ rest-of-season prognosis
What does this new-look version of James mean for the rest of his — and the Lakers’ — season? Has Father Time actually caught up to the man who for so long seemed to defy his influence?
The good news for James is his shooting will likely improve as the season continues — even if not all the way back up to his norms from previous decades. His true shooting percentage is 53.9%, which would represent his worst mark in a full season since he was a rookie, but full-season stats can obscure streakiness in smaller stretches. Within the past decade, James has had worse true shooting marks in nine-game spans in:
March 2025
November to December 2024
December 2023 to January 2024
October to November 2022
December 2019 to January 2020
January to February 2018
February 2016
December 2015
In every previous instance, he emerged from his slump and ended the season just fine. Three of those seasons ended with trips to the NBA Finals. And even though he’s dealing with unprecedented age and injury issues, there’s no reason to think he can’t rebound again in the next several months

Stephen A.: LeBron’s winning pass a perfect example why he’s a top-2 player
Stephen A. Smith credits LeBron James for ignoring his double-digit scoring streak and passing to Rui Hachimura for the winning 3-pointer.
For instance, James’ free throw percentage is down to a career-low 62%. He missed two technical free throws against Phoenix on Sunday (before making two of three from the line to win the game after a 3-point foul in the final seconds). But it would be exceedingly strange if a career 74% shooter on more than 11,000 attempts suddenly started struggling this badly from the line.
James has also made just 29% of his 3-point attempts. He had hit 37% of his 3-point tries over the past five seasons, and such a sudden, dramatic drop-off is unlikely at the same time he is making a high percentage of his midrange jumpers. Advanced pose data from GeniusIQ shows no glaring changes in James’ body measurements that would suggest his legs have abandoned him on his long-range attempts.
Even if James’ production might tick back up closer to his career norms, however, his play style has probably changed for good.
Statistics around usage and play types tend to be “sticky” — meaning, in statistical parlance, that the early trend tends to remain true over time. In other words, don’t expect James to start driving and isolating and using dozens of screens per game again.
Here’s another data point supporting that theory: Out of nearly 1,000 games James has logged in the GeniusIQ database, he has tallied fewer than five picks just five times. One was in November 2013, one was in the 2023 playoffs, and three have come this season.
That’s not a fluke; that’s the new normal.
James’ influence on the Lakers
Another strong indicator of James’ current form and role is what his own coaching staff thinks about him. And there lies a revealing statistic: In games in which James, Doncic and Reaves have appeared together, James hasn’t played a single minute without at least one of the two others. Here’s the distribution from those seven games, according to PBP Stats:
It makes sense that Lakers coach JJ Redick would structure his rotation with at least two of his big three on the court at all times; indeed, those lineups have accounted for 90% of the Lakers’ minutes across these games. (The 10 minutes without any member of the big three were all in low leverage.)
Just last season, Redick generally made sure to stagger Doncic and James after the midseason trade for the former. James played 55 minutes by himself in games with all three creators in 2024-25.
Yet this season, Redick is staggering Doncic and Reaves instead. That’s a logical move, given Reaves’ star turn and the desire not to foist such a burden on a soon-to-be 41-year-old, but it’s still suggestive about James’ placement in L.A.’s offensive hierarchy.
The most worrisome part for Los Angeles is that its big three doesn’t seem to be working as expected. When James, Doncic and Reaves have shared the court this season, the Lakers have been outscored by 10 points in 132 minutes.
That continues a concerning trend. In the 2024-25 regular season, that trio outscored its opponents by just two total points in 423 minutes. And then the Lakers were blown out in the playoffs, with a minus-24 margin in five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Overall, the James-Doncic-Reaves trio is minus-32 in 695 minutes together. It has a negative-2.2 net rating, according to Cleaning the Glass. James, Doncic and Reaves are less than the sum of their parts.
The defense has unsurprisingly been an issue when the three offensively oriented stars share the court. The Lakers’ 120.5 defensive rating in those 695 minutes, per Cleaning the Glass, would place them near the bottom of the overall team rankings.
But the offense is also a reason for concern. The theory of the Lakers’ case is that their offense could be so dominant with Doncic, James and Reaves together that it could compensate for any defensive weakness. But instead, the big three’s offensive rating is only 118.3 — a good number, certainly, but far from a dominant one. That’s the same as what the Spurs’ ninth-ranked offense has done this season.
For comparison, look at another famed trio of star playmakers. In their limited time together in the 2020-21 season, the Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving had a scorching 129.5 offensive rating — more than 10 points ahead of the Lakers’ big three.
Or look at what Doncic and Reaves have accomplished when playing together withoutJames: a plus-15.3 net rating and 122.9 offensive rating in 585 minutes. That duo struggled last postseason, but Doncic and Reaves have absolutely torched their opponents in the regular season when James isn’t sharing the court with them.
The ultimate problem, then, isn’t that James is at long last starting to show his age. The problem is that James, Doncic and Reaves aren’t meshing as well as they need to compete with the best teams in the West.
After briefly going dark in the US to comply with the divest-or-ban law targeting ByteDance that went into effect on January 19th, TikTok quickly came back online. It eventually reappeared in the App Store and Google Play as negotiations between the US and China continued, and Donald Trump continued to sign extensions directing officials not to apply the law’s penalties.
Finally, in mid-December, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew told employees that the agreements to create TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, which includes Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX as part owners, have been signed, and the deal is expected to close on January 22nd, 2026. His letter said that for users in the US, the new joint venture will oversee data protection, the security of a newly-retrained algorithm, content moderation, and the deployment of the US app and platform.
