Winners & Losers From The 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend

Loser: Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers' young core - Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball

It's not too often that the host city doesn't have an All-Star from their team. The last time a host team didn't have an All-Star of their own was in 2005 when Denver were the hosts for the Weekend. This year, in LA, there were technically two hosts - the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers but neither had a player in Sunday's game.

Facts are facts. Even considering the last few years, Los Angeles will always be a Laker town. Now, the Lakers are currently rebuilding but that doesn't change the fact that they had no player from their team playing on Sunday while the game was being played in their arena - Staples Center.

Hopefully, by the time, the All-Star Weekend returns to LA (in about 7-8 years), the Lakers will have not one but two All-Stars to show off.
