Anthony Davis Articles - Page 45

With the NBA Trade Deadline now firmly in the rear-view mirror, trade talks in the league have become strictly hypothetical. One absurd NBA trade rumor surfaced on Sunday, as Chris Broussard revealed a conversation he had with “somebody who works in the league.” Broussard and his source apparently discussed the possibility of a wild Los […]

There’s no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers are in a lot of trouble right now. It’s true that there’s still a lot of basketball to be played this season, but at the same time, it’s just hard to imagine how this team will be able to miraculously turn their season around to make a […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are holding out hope that Anthony Davis will return before the end of the regular season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. “The Lakers are saying it’s a month before he’s re-evaluated,” Woj reported on NBA Today. “I’m told the hope is they can at least get Anthony Davis back in the […]

After an MRI on Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Anthony Davis has been diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. That timeline puts Davis on track to be re-evaluated around March 10. The Lakers (27-31) visit the Houston Rockets the day before and host the Washington Wizards night […]

The Los Angeles Lakers simultaneously endured their worst and enjoyed their best night of the season on Wednesday. Anthony Davis suffered a disturbing ankle injury before LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Austin Reaves erased a 14-point deficit to defeat the Utah Jazz, 106-101. In a span of two quarters, the Lakers — and the Crypto.com […]

The New York Knicks found another way to let themselves down Wednesday night in a 111-106 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Knicks were up by as many as 28 points in the second quarter, but squandered it all, as they just couldn’t stop the Nets in the second half, while also sputtering on […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were handed yet another Anthony Davis injury blow on Wednesday night as the big man rolled his right ankle after going up for a rebound. While it looked very bad at first, the X-rays did come back negative and it was determined to be just a sprain. Per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered yet another injury setback on Wednesday, as Anthony Davis sprained his right ankle in the team’s stirring victory over the Utah Jazz — their final game before the All-Star break. Davis’ ankle bent 90 degrees when he came down on Rudy Gobert’s heel while attempting to catch a lob in […]

Anthony Davis gave Los Angeles Lakers fans another injury scare after a brutal landing on his right ankle against the Utah Jazz.

AD had to be helped off the court and couldn't put any pressure on his ankle.pic.twitter.com/QRHyMlvgrA — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) February […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis just couldn’t catch a break from injuries. Just over two weeks since returning from a knee issue, the big man sustained another injury on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Late in the second quarter of the game, Davis went down after grabbing a rebound against Rudy Gobert. He quickly […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had a day off on February 14, which means most of their players were out with their girlfriends or wives on Valentine’s Day. Malik Monk, meanwhile, meanwhile took out his new fling, Iggy Azalea, on a double date with Anthony Davis and his wife at a swanky Italian restaurant in Santa […]

It’s been a tough season thus far for the Los Angeles Lakers. A lot has been made of the functionality of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook playing together. Westbrook has been the subject of many issues with the team, and many expected the Lakers to make a move at the deadline. But not […]

At this point in the season, it isn’t looking very good for the Los Angeles Lakers. This team is likely going to squeeze their way into the playoffs but quite frankly, they do not look like a squad that’s going to win it all this year. In the mind of ESPN’s NBA insider Stephen A. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, but it was a spirited effort and one of the more exciting games of the season. While there’s really no place for moral victories at this point, perhaps the Lakers can use this as a springboard for a strong […]

Historically, the Los Angeles Lakers don’t subscribe to moral victories. The franchise has built its brand on winning. Satisfaction after a loss is blasphemous. After Saturday’s effort against the Dubs, though, the Lakers will absolutely take the moral dub. Yes, Los Angeles blew a six-point lead in crunch-time and lost to the Golden State Warriors, […]

The 2022 NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone, with the Los Angeles Lakers failing to make any moves to strengthen their roster. While that’s undoubtedly left many fans of the team disappointed as they currently sit below .500, head coach Frank Vogel remains optimistic that LA has the perfect core to turn things around. […]

After the Los Angeles Lakers declined to make any moves at the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline, the team’s vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka took questions from reporters on a conference call. While generally explaining that there was no offer that both satisfied the franchise’s short and long-term goals, he was […]

For the third consecutive season, the Los Angeles Lakers passed on pulling the trigger at the NBA Trade Deadline. This time, their inactivity was more surprising than in years past considering their place in the standings (ninth) and the state of the team (messy). In March of 2021, the Lakers could have acquired Kyle Lowry […]

The Los Angeles Lakers should have taken care of business Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, but they just couldn’t close the game out, in part because Anthony Davis seemingly forgot how to function in the fourth quarter. Davis played all but three minutes in the final period of the Blazers game and practically […]

This current Los Angeles Lakers side is a far cry from the squad that won the title 16 months ago. From being the most dominant team in the league, LA has now faltered to becoming a mediocre team that has been the laughing stock of critics and naysayers. All hope is not lost for the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got a rude awakening on Tuesday night as they were badly beaten by the defending champion, Milwaukee Bucks. LeBron James even admitted post-game that his team is nowhere near being a title contender and it appears LA has resorted to the fact that their Big 3 just isn’t working, with the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have not met their championship expectations thus far this season. They were expected to be one of the best teams in the NBA entering the season but have struggled with injuries and consistency. The Lakers sit in ninth place in the Western Conference with a record of 26-28. Superstars LeBron James […]

There’s no bigger factor towards the success of the Los Angeles Lakers than health. If LeBron James or Anthony Davis are out of action, LA is going nowhere fast. It’s also safe to say that the Lakers need more than just LeBron and AD to get them to where they want to go. Russell Westbrook […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis has been killing it since he returned from his knee injury. While he only scored eight points in his return game against the Brooklyn Nets on Jan. 25, he has scored at least 27 points in each of the other five games he has played, with three games of […]

Anthony Davis has been everything the Los Angeles Lakers needed and more. The former All-Star center missed significant time this season due to multiple injuries. However, since his return to the lineup a few days ago, he’s been determined to prove his value on this team. After a huge comeback win against the New York […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ season has been challenging to say the least. They are three games under .500 more than halfway through the season. It’s definitely not what the Lakers organization envisioned entering the year. One of the reasons for the lack of success has been health. Both LeBron James and especially Anthony Davis have […]

An unlucky bounce was all it took to upend the Los Angeles Lakers’ comeback bid on Thursday night against their rival Clippers. Anthony Davis had his clean look to take the win roll around and out as the buzzer sounded. CLIPPERS WIN. WHAT AN ENDING. pic.twitter.com/w6LFFJco6G — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) February 4, 2022 The Lakers […]

Had the Los Angeles Lakers prevented Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson from scoring a go-ahead layup in transition with 4.1 seconds to go, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook would be in much cheerier spirits in their postgame press conferences minutes later. Instead, Jackson spun through the “double-team” of Austin Reaves and Westbrook and converted […]

LeBron James was reduced to a mere spectator as the Los Angeles Lakers took on their rival L.A. Clippers at Crypto.com Arena. Even without the game’s biggest star on the floor, both LA teams managed to put on a show in the closing seconds. With no timeouts remaining, Anthony Davis put the Lakers on top […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers both took the floor on Wednesday night without franchise-defining superstars. What proved the biggest difference in the Blazers’ third straight loss? Los Angeles has another one. Portland fell to the Lakers 99-94 at Crypto.com Arena, missing Damian Lillard more than ever with its starting backcourt struggling from […]

Did the entire galaxy conspire to make this season the worst campaign for the Los Angeles Lakers? That must be the question lingering in the minds of Lakers fans as the team just couldn’t catch a break. Just when Anthony Davis made his return after an extended absence, LeBron James has suddenly been sidelined due […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have completed their six-game, 11-day “GRAMMYs” road trip. It was eventful: LeBron James got hurt, Anthony Davis returned, and Russell Westbrook rebounded, among other things. Let’s recap the major developments. Recapping the Lakers’ wild 6-game road trip LeBron James gets injured LeBron dominated the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday — culminating in […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were dealt a bad beat against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night with both LeBron James and Anthony Davis out with injuries. But it looks like the purple and gold are getting some good news for their next tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. According to ESPN insider Dave McMenamin, Anthony Davis […]

LeBron James (left knee soreness) will miss his third game in a row when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday afternoon (1 p.m. ET). Anthony Davis (right wrist soreness) is listed as questionable. Lakers injury report for Hawks game Sunday (at 10am PT): OUT:LeBron JamesKendrick Nunn Questionable:Anthony Davis Probable:Russell WestbrookMalik Monk […]

LeBron James and Anthony Davis will miss the Los Angeles Lakers road game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday at the Spectrum Center. Russell Westbrook and Avery Bradley will play, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel announced in his pregame press conference. All four starters had been listed as questionable. The game marks the second leg […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are suddenly as banged up as they’ve been all season — and that’s saying something. At least according to their length injury report for their road game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, the second leg of a back-to-back. Four starters: LeBron James (left knee soreness/effusion), Anthony Davis (right wrist soreness), […]

The Los Angeles Lakers took on the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night without LeBron James. While it was just one game missed due to a sore left knee, it offered a preview into a future wherein the four-time NBA champion no longer dons the purple and gold. Without LeBron James in the lineup, it was […]

Predictably, the Los Angeles Lakers — playing without LeBron James (left knee soreness, “day-to-day”) — were blown out by the Philadelphia 76ers, 105-87, at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday. Arguably, though, it was a good night for L.A. Anthony Davis is back. In his second game back from a 17-game absence, Davis scored 31 points […]

The Philadelphia 76ers took their home floor Thursday night for a nationally televised matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James was a late scratch, leaving LA without a key piece of their big three. While Anthony Davis did what he could to lead the charge, it was not enough to keep up with Joel […]
