Before Sunday’s big Battle of LA, Anthony Davis made a statement in the pregame, which was exactly as expected. The big man, who has been outstanding for the Lakers this season, arrived in style wearing a $1298 John Elliot jacket that was understated yet magnificent.

He wore blue pants and a green t-shirt to add padding to his brown and white jacket. The outfit was finished with a slender necklace and a basic pair of Nike sneakers. Davis seems to think that simplicity is key when it comes to style.

Davis wore a varsity jacket from one of John Elliot’s high-end luxury collections. Crafted from a wool blend supplemented with nylon and featuring leather sleeves, the jacket seamlessly blends style and utility to create a somewhat athletic yet refined appearance. It’s safe to say that the 30-year-old looked fairly flawless in the outfit.

In terms of the game, Anthony Davis produced another noteworthy performance, scoring 22 points and pulling down 10 rebounds to assist the Purple and Gold defeat the hot Clippers 106-103.

With 25 points, LeBron James took the lead early on, and the Los Angeles bench scored 31 points to overcome their opponents and end a four-game losing streak.

Anthony Davis is arguing for the DPOY award.

The Lakers’ top-10 defensive rating this season is mostly due to Anthony Davis.

The center has been a key component of the defense this season, even though the outcomes may not have gone their way. His impact has been so great that his chances of being named Defensive Player of the Year have increased.

Davis (+950) has the third-best odds to win the DPOY, according to FanDuel. He will go up against three-time DPOY center Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves and rookie big Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Although Davis has made the All-Defensive Team four times in his eleven NBA seasons, he has not yet taken home the DPOY award. With his outstanding performances for LA, he has a great chance to win this year.

Anthony Davis is scoring 25.3 points, pulling down 12.3 rebounds, and blocking 2.6 rebounds a night this season. He has averaged 27.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.6 blocks over his previous five games.

The Toronto Raptors will be the next team Davis and the Lakers host. They will next play the Phoenix Suns, who they have a perfect record against, in their next matchup.
