A bit like Joel Embiid in Philadelphia, Anthony Davis is an official fright provider for Lakers fans. With 30 points and 11 rebounds against the Pelicans, the Los Angeles interior had done everything to reassure his world.
But in the last quarter, there was concern. While Davis is under the New Orleans circle, going for the offensive rebound, Larry Nance Jr. pushes him. In the seconds that follow, the Lakers interior asks to go out, walking very slowly and grimacing on the edge of the floor.
“I was in the air and, I know he’s not a bad player, but it was definitely a dangerous action”, plague the All-Starwho spoke of a “hyperextension” and a “blocked back”.
The play-in against the Pelicans is Tuesday evening, and therefore only a few hours away. Should we be worried about Anthony Davis, known to be very physically fragile? “No doubt: I will play”warns the Los Angeles player, who could put heating bands on his back, to gain flexibility and to hold his place well.
