Anthony Davis Articles - Page 42

The fantasy basketball season has been filled with surprises in the early going, just as the 2022-23 season of the NBA as a whole has been as well. With about a quarter of the season officially in the books, it feels like a good time to revisit our top fantasy basketball power forwards rankings and […]

The painful loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday is a thing of the past now for the Los Angeles Lakers, who recovered their moxie right away by flattening the Portland Trail Blazers at home Wednesday night, 128-109. The win was just another reminder to the rest of the league that the Lakers are hitting […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were having a lot of fun on Tuesday night. The players were all smiles as they amassed a 17-point lead over the Indiana Pacers in the fourth quarter and were on the brink of logging their sixth win in the past seven games. And then, disaster struck. The Lakers somehow allowed […]

The Los Angeles Lakers snatched defeat right from the jaws of victory on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. After yet another masterful game from Anthony Davis, the purple and gold lost via a buzzer-beating triple from rookie Andrew Nembhard. There was a lot of blame worth throwing around after the Lakers piled on and […]

A Los Angeles Lakers fan won more than just the $75,000 cash prize after he banked the half-court shot during a break in Monday’s game against the Indiana Pacers. The fan, identified as Jaime Murry, banked the shot from long distance with ease and got the prize in the process. It wasn’t the best moment […]

Anthony Davis missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ previous game — a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday — after being listed as questionable on the injury report with a left calf contusion he suffered the night before (also a win over the Spurs at the AT&T Center). AD was initially listed as questionable […]

The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to keep their hot streak going on Monday when they take on a surging Indiana Pacers side that has lost just two out of their last 10 games. LA has likewise been on quite a roll of late despite the myriad of injuries they have been dealing with, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers started 2022-23 on a sour note. LeBron James was injured in the 11th game of the season, and they were one of the worst teams at one juncture due to a 2-10 record. Newly hired head coach Darvin Ham had a plethora of problems from the onset despite the elite star […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis was virtually unstoppable for the last two weeks. So much so that the only thing that halted his hot streak was – you guessed it – injury. AD was forced to sit out the LA’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night due to a left calf […]

As if there was ever any doubt, LeBron James will suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers in the second game of their back-to-back against the San Antonio Spurs. James just returned on Friday after a five-game absence due to a left adductor strain, so there were some concerns that the Lakers would opt to […]

Anthony Davis’ dominant stretch has now come to a screeching halt. This is after the Los Angeles Lakers ruled out their superstar big man just moments before their Saturday’s matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Davis will officially miss Saturday’s game due to a left calf contusion. The injury […]

The Los Angeles Lakers welcomed LeBron James back on Friday night with a 105-94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. LeBron was finally able to recover from a groin injury that sidelined him for five games, and his return could not have come at a better time for a Lakers side that has picked up […]

LeBron James finally made his much-awaited return for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs and it resulted in a 105-94 win for LA. This was LeBron’s first time back coming off a five-game injury spell, and it is clear that the Lakers are more than happy to get their talisman […]

Lonnie Walker IV received a tribute video from the San Antonio Spurs before his former team’s matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers at AT&T Center on Friday. The 23-year-old—whom the Spurs selected no. 18 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft—averaged 9.4 points on 41.4 percent shooting across four seasons under Gregg Popovich. Must be nice, […]

To say that Anthony Davis has been on a hot streak over the past few games would be a complete understatement at this point. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar put up another mind-blowing line on Tuesday in a loss to the Phoenix Suns, amassing 37 points, 21 rebounds, five steals, and five blocks. It seems […]

Anthony Davis gave the statisticians tracking Tuesday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns all the work they can handle, as he posted a ridiculous stat line that no one before him had ever pulled off in the NBA — or at least since the 1973-74 NBA season (via ESPN Stats […]

The Los Angeles Lakers (5-11) lost ground in the standings after losing to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, but they may have built chemistry in the locker room. Anthony Davis, meanwhile, continues to dominate. Midway through the fourth quarter of the Suns’ 115-105 win, Devin Booker hard-fouled Austin Reaves. Booker then stood over Reaves. Deandre […]

The Los Angeles Lakers, simply put, have been terrible to begin the 2022-23 campaign. They have now fallen to 5-11 after losing to the Phoenix Suns, 115-105, and they are slowly running out of chances to turn things around. LeBron James’ injury hasn’t helped matters, that’s for sure. However, one player cannot be put at […]

Late in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers road game against the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Davis hit the deck hard. He lay on the ground for several minutes, appearing to be holding his left forearm or wrist. Davis was attempting to convert an alley-oop and was fouled by Suns guard Devin Booker. Booker […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might have finally turned a corner after starting the season off terribly. Much of that turnaround is because of the play of Anthony Davis. Davis is averaging over 25 points per game, to go with 12 rebounds this season. It’s the first time since the 2018-2019 season that he is posting […]

It turns out that Anthony Davis and LeBron James are just like us when it comes to meeting with celebrities. The two Los Angeles Lakers players are some of the most recognizable names even outside of basketball. However, when they met Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel, the star duo couldn’t help but ask a […]

Is Anthony Davis officially back? It seemed like the consensus amongst NBA fans was that the Los Angeles Lakers forward’s best days were behind him. Over the last few weeks, though, Davis has looked like the same beast that dominated the league in 2020. He’s averaging nearly 30 points and 13 rebounds over the last […]

For just the second time this season, the Los Angeles Lakers have logged back-to-back wins. This run has a lot to do with Anthony Davis going full beast mode for his team over the past two games. Davis has been so good that it’s almost easy to overlook the fact that LeBron James isn’t even […]

It was all smiles for the Los Angeles Lakers (4-10) after they pulled away from the Detroit Pistons (3-13) for a much-needed 128-121 victory at Crypto.com Arena on Friday. Perhaps, even, an appropriate opportunity to kick back and pour an earned, chilled glass of Lobos to cap off a successful evening at the office. Well, […]

Los Angeles Lakers’ center Anthony Davis is living in the paint 13 games into the 2022-23 season. That’s exactly where the Lakers want him — and where he wants to be. AD — who has exclusively played center amid Ham’s four-out, one-in system — has curtailed his jumpers (he’s 4-of-16 from 3) and made a […]

For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves on the outside looking in on the Western Conference playoff picture. There’s still much basketball to be played, but all early signs point to the possibility of the Lakers squandering another year of LeBron James’ career. The team has just a 3-10 record, the second-worst […]

Three games past the statistical threshold for when net rating and win percentage kinda matter, the 3-10 Los Angeles Lakers have, self-evidently, a “laundry list” of issues. The roster is shallow on talent. Russell Westbrook’s move to the bench has been productive, but he still frustrates teammates with decision-making, wants to close alongside LeBron James […]

Based on Anthony Davis’ latest comments on his injured Los Angeles Lakers teammates Dennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant, it looks like the two are really ready to play. The two have been listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Detroit Pistons after some time on the sidelines. They returned to practice on Wednesday, and […]

Amid the Los Angeles Lakers’ struggles to win and his struggles with back tightness, Anthony Davis got off to an impressive start to the 2022-23 season. AD’s first six games amounted to arguably his best stretch of two-way basketball since the bubble. He averaged 23.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 2.2 steals. He mitigated […]

Anthony Davis is from Chicago and didn’t grow up caring about the NFL. Yet, early in his NBA career, while a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, he became a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan due to friendships he made. So much so, in fact, that Los Angeles Lakers fans should probably adopt the Cheeseheads […]

The Los Angeles Lakers destroyed Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in their first meeting of the season on Sunday, and it’s thanks in large part to Anthony Davis. With LeBron James still sidelined due to an adductor injury, Davis carried much of the workload to lead the Lakers to the 116-103 win. More than […]

Despite the fact that the Los Angeles Lakers lost their 10th game of the season on Friday, there’s no denying that this team has still made some sort of progress at this point in the campaign. It’s obviously not enough for them to get some much-needed wins, but at least there’s some sort of silver […]

LeBron James may be out with no definite timetable for his return, but it’s not all bad news for the Los Angeles Lakers on the injury front. As Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported, the Lakers are also seeing positive developments when it comes to their other injuries. Apparently both Thomas Bryant and Dennis Schroder […]

Anthony Davis is off to a great statistical start to the season. However, the Los Angeles Lakers season is teetering on the edge of being over practically before it begins. Los Angeles sits near the bottom of the Western Conference at 2-9. Only the Houston Rockets (2-10) are worse in the NBA. That has prompted […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are out to a 2-8 start in the 2022-23 season, leading many to wonder just what this front office is going to do to fix this mess. Will the Lakers try to make a big trade to right the ship? Will they just ride things out with this group and try […]

The Los Angeles Lakers entered the past weekend with renewed hopes after back-to-back victories against playoff contenders Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans. However, harsh reality hit the Lakers hard as they have now lost three straight games to fall to 2-8, the second-worst record in the entire NBA (only the Orlando Magic and Houston […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ season-opening struggles continued in their latest loss to the Utah Jazz, as the Jazz blew out the Lakers by a score of 139-116. The Lakers received a strong outing from Anthony Davis with LeBron James forced to miss the action, but Davis came away from the game unhappy at the fact […]

After two straight wins against the Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers have proceeded to drop their next two games to drop to 2-7. In their latest loss, a 114-100 defeat at the hands of the scorching Cleveland Cavaliers, the Lakers managed to keep the game close, even leading by six […]

After another heartbreaking loss, the Los Angeles Lakers are seemingly all out of options. The trio of Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook have tried different things to make the partnership work. However, every attempt they’ve made to fix this team has ended in failure. After their recent loss, it seems LA might be […]
