In addition to an infuriating defeat suffered against the Warriors this Saturday (121-128), the Lakers are now worried about the state of health of Anthony Davis. Injured in the eye, he had to leave the field at half-time and LeBron James’ comment following the incident is enough to make one pessimistic.
Responsible for welcoming the Warriors to the Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers hoped to obtain an important victory this Saturday. However, the plan did not go as expected since the Dubs inflicted a defeat on them, sending them back to 10th place in the Western Conference. This meeting also generated some controversies and ultimately turned into a nightmare for LA.
Because in addition to this disillusionment, the latter had to be abandoned during the meeting by Anthony Davis following an accidental blow to his left eye, carried by the rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis while AD was heading in double-step towards the basket. The star midfielder was only able to spend 11 minutes on the pitch before being taken back to the locker room and examined by doctors.
LeBron’s worrying reaction to Anthony Davis’ injury
Anthony Davis is still in the locker room after getting poked in the eye. No foul was called🤨
Author of 8 points at 50% (3/6), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 interception and 1 block in very little playing time, Anthony Davis had to leave the rest of the work to LeBron James . But despite the 40 units at 65.2% (15/23), 8 rebounds and 9 caviars from the King, success could not be obtained by the 2020 champions. And doubt now reigns concerning the injury of the Unibrow after the declaration of the four-time MVP.
His eye was completely closed at halftime
Already handicapped by the absences of numerous players throughout the season due to their physical condition, the LA franchise could see the former Pelicans added to the medical assessment as the playoffs approach, he who was until then almost impeccable on this point. His situation will, however, be re-evaluated in the coming days, while the Lakers keep their fingers crossed for reassuring news.
Victim of an accidental blow during the match against the Warriors, Anthony Davis went to the locker room at the start of the match without returning to the field. And fear is now running through the minds of the Lakers after LeBron James announced that his teammate was unable to open his eye.
