Yesterday, during the third quarter of the team’s double-overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors, All-Star center and greatest two-way player Anthony Davis was hard- fouled. It was a really scary moment for your Los Angeles.
As Davis blasted through three Warriors defenders to get to the rack, he appeared to get kneed in a very sensitive spot by NBA Warriors star Draymond Green (maybe unintentionally, but who knows?). After that, he lay on the floor for an excessively long period of time.
Eventually, he stood up, made his free throws, and left for the locker room in Los Angeles. Subsequently, the Brow resumed playing for the team.
After the game, the 6’10” big man admitted to having hip spasms, but he also said he was feeling better, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
With 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, and 29 points on 11 of 24 field goal and 7 of 9 long-range shooting, Davis concluded the game with a triple-double.
Los Angeles raises their season record to 23–22 while sending its main competitor in the Pacific Division to an even worse record of 19–24. The Lakers’ double-overtime triumph has proven to be a win-win situation since it improved Los Angeles’ standing in the Western Conference while simultaneously making a rival worse.
