The Los Angeles Lakers are just a few months away from possibly starting to make a run at the NBA championship. Not too long after they were stuck with an incomplete and unbalanced roster, they boast one that seems to have almost everything. But there is a concern hanging over the franchise — Anthony Davis’ contract, which he can opt out of next summer one year before it expires. There has been speculation about whether the Lakers will offer him an extension and when they may do so. In an exclusive interview with Mark Medina, owner Jeanie Buss didn’t give any specifics about a possible extension, but she did seem to hint that the plan is to extend the superstar center.

“Rob said it best. Our intention is that we want to keep continuity with our team. I’ll leave it at that.” A report a few weeks ago quoted a Western Conference executive as saying Los Angeles is reluctant to give Davis an extension, partly because of his injury history.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
