Anthony Davis Articles - Page 52

The Los Angeles Lakers (and Lakers fans) have not been happy about how they’ve been officiated this season. That’s been abundantly clear to anyone who’s watched their games or witnessed the “Refs you suck!” chants that have been a regular occurrence at Staples Center. It was no different on Wednesday night, in the Lakers hard-fought […]

Washington Wizards Kyle Kuzma spoke with Malika Andrews on what he learned with the Los Angeles Lakers. “Being here has been an extremely fun opportunity to come in and lead, and use my championship backgrond. I know everything I’ve learned from those two guys in LA…This is kind of what I wanted… An opportunity to […]

Not long after the ball was tipped, it became readily apparent that the Los Angeles Lakers (8-7) were not going to beat the Chicago Bulls (10-4) on Monday at Staples Center. Not without LeBron James, and not with the game the Bulls’ three best players — all with notable Los Angeles roots — brought from […]

Anthony Davis was ejected from the Los Angeles Lakers’ blowout loss vs. the Chicago Bulls with 2:20 remaining in the third quarter. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel — along with the Staples Center crowd — was rightfully confused and peeved about the whole ordeal. Davis picked up his first technical midway through the first quarter […]

When Anthony Davis received his second technical foul leading to his ejection against the Chicago Bulls, his Los Angeles Lakers teammate LeBron James quickly came to his side. Davis was ejected late in the third quarter while he was tying his shoes. He seemed to have said something to the official as the play went […]

Anthony Davis got unceremoniously tossed from Monday’s tilt between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls. AD got his second technical foul late in the third quarter and it resulted in an early bath for the Lakers star. Contentiously, the moment that led to the ejection was Davis tying his shoelaces. Yup, you read […]

Tracy McGrady is considered by many as one of the biggest snubs in the NBA’s Top 75 all-time list. It appears that the Hall of Famer isn’t happy at all about this development and he singled out Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis as one player who he believes should not be on the list. […]

Despite now being with the Chicago Bulls, Alex Caruso still remains to be one of the most-loved figures within the ranks of the Los Angeles Lakers. The fans absolutely adore the high-flying guard and at this point, some of them are already wishing that Caruso never left LA. Prior to taking his talents to Chicago […]

Alex Caruso has been making waves for his new team, the Chicago Bulls, early in the season. So much so, that fans of the Los Angeles Lakers already seem to be regretting the team’s decision to let him walk away as a free agent back in the summer. Caruso recently sat down with The Athletic’s […]

Lonzo Ball is currently happy with the Chicago Bulls but two years ago, it was a different story. In 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a blockbuster trade that saw them landing then-New Orleans Pelicans All-Star big man Anthony Davis in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the draft rights to De’Andre […]

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers earned their first win in regulation without LeBron James of the season, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 114-106 at Staples Center. Barring a couple of tight moments, it was a relatively comfortable afternoon for Los Angeles. In the short term, that was just what the doctor ordered for a […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis is a proudly die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. He often wears Green Bay gear to the arena when the Lakers play on the same day as the Packers. He frequently posts about their wins on social media. He brings them up at press conferences, and (politely) cuts interviews short […]

Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, and the Los Angeles Lakers host the Chicago Bulls on Monday, which means Alex Caruso will make his bittersweet return to Staples Center. Of course, this time, Caruso will be wearing red instead of gold — a sight Lakers fans still haven’t gotten over. IRL, it will be even harder to […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is a HUGE Green Bay Packers fans, and he wouldn’t let the San Antonio Spurs prevent him from watching his favorite NFL team. The Lakers’ game against the Spurs started early on Sunday, which meant it would overlap with the Packers’ showdown with the Seattle Seahawks. With that said, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have a long way to go if they want to raise the franchise’s 18th banner. That was made starkly apparent on the night when the Lakers debuted their City Edition uniforms honoring their championship-laden history. Anthony Davis knows it. “We have to decide who we want to be,” he said after […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had seemingly turned a corner this week. They responded from a halfhearted effort against the Portland Trail Blazers with gutsy and “resilient” overtime wins (without LeBron James) against the upstart Charlotte Hornets and contending Miami Heat. On Friday, in a 107-83 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center, the Lakers […]

To say that the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a disaster is an understatement. Despite it being a close match at the half, the Lakers inexplicably collapsed in the third quarter, leading to an 83 – 107 drubbing from the 4 – 7 Timberwolves. It was an embarrassing defeat for a […]

Anthony Davis has been a force on defense for the Los Angeles Lakers, oftentimes saving Russell Westbrook, who can get a bit too careless. That holds true off the court. Friday is Westbrook’s 33rd birthday. His Lakers teammates, coaches, and staff presented him with a cake at practice. As we can see in Kendrick Nunn’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got Malik Monk for an absolute bargain in free agency, signing him to a veteran’s minimum of $1.7 million. Wednesday night, he proved his worth, dropping 27 points off the bench in an OT win over the Miami Heat. Despite the Lakers essentially stealing him in the offseason, Lakers star Anthony […]

The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a gutsy 120-117 overtime win at STAPLES Center over the visiting Miami Heat Wednesday night, thanks to the heroics of Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, and the others who stepped up. Westbrook, in particular, had stuffed the stat sheets in true Westbrook style, posting a triple-double of 25 points, 14 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers secured their second overtime win in a row on Wednesday at Staples Center, this time against the Miami Heat, 120-117. For the second consecutive game following their inexcusable showing against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Lakers put forth a tough, gutsy performance. No matter shorthanded, sheer effort goes a long way […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is currently out with an abdominal strain, but that didn’t stop him from helping his teammates out in last night’s thriller against the Miami Heat: LeBron gets involved from the bench in the 4th.#HEATCulture 90#LakeShow 93 pic.twitter.com/8FevhxJlqY — Bally Sports Florida & Bally Sports Sun (@BallySportsFL) November 11, 2021 […]

The short-handed Los Angeles Lakers (7-5) have won back-to-back overtime games at home following their lackadaisical effort against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center last Saturday. They gutsily defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 126-123 on Monday, then escaped with their best win of the season vs. the Miami Heat on Wednesday, 120-117. The Lakers […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is one of the most dominant two-way players in the league when he’s healthy. But that last bit has been the biggest caveat throughout his career. With the fact that Anthony Davis is injury-prone being hard to deny, some naysayers have labeled AD as soft because of his inability […]

The Los Angeles Lakers may be forced to operate without their fulcrum, LeBron James, for either a few more games or a few more months, depending who you ask. In his (and other key rotation pieces’) absence, the Lakers will need their current and former All-Stars to lead the charge, build good habits, and deliver […]

Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers were given a bit of good news on Monday ahead of their matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. LA head coach Frank Vogel provided a key update on the injury status of Anthony Davis and as it turns out, the All-Star big man might be able to take the floor […]

Anthony Davis tried to play through a stomach illness on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers, but the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was eventually forced to exit the game after just seven minutes of action. Some fans were quick to judge AD and his injury-prone ways, but as it turns out, Davis was actually in […]

Anthony Davis continues to battle against his body. The Los Angeles Lakers star was forced out of their Saturday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers big man is dealing with a stomach illness and will not return, according to a report from sideline reporter Mike Trudell. Anthony Davis (stomach illness) will not […]

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to deal with nagging injuries. From stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, to role players like Trevor Ariza and Talen Horton-Tucker, it’s been a struggle for the purple and gold to stay healthy. Anthony Davis is sick and tired of it, and for good reason. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel […]

The Los Angeles Lakers revamped their roster entering this season, mixing several new stars and role players with their existing ones. But despite that, they’ve been unable to smush the injury bug that’s plagued them for the last year or so. While there haven’t been any serious injuries, even the minor ones are causing problems […]

Anthony Davis (sprained right thumb) is questionable for the Los Angeles Lakers matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center on Saturday. Frank Vogel provided the “update” during his post-practice media availability on Friday. (“Still a sprained thumb, questionable for tomorrow” were his exact words.) I put “update” in quotes because it’s not […]

Lakers star Anthony Davis pays his ultimate respect to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after another loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers ended up allowing another comeback at the hands of the Thunder, despite leading by as much as 19 points early on. Fans may think that the team will learn its lesson from blowing a […]

The Los Angeles Lakers looked like they were turning the corner after a solid three-game win streak. But with LeBron James on the sidelines with an abdominal strain, they once again found themselves on the wrong side of a comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the second time in their last five games. LeBron James […]

Yikes. Where to even begin. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won two games. Both have come against the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. held leads of 19 or more in each one. LeBron James played in neither game. Still, the Lakers — the oldest, most accomplished team in the NBA — should beat the league’s youngest […]

Anthony Davis looked to be in serious discomfort just before the halftime buzzer of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder contest. The Lakers star was seen grabbing at his hand on the sidelines and looked to be in a lot of pain as he walked gingerly back to the locker room. Anthony Davis […]

The entire Staples Center heaved a collective sigh of relief on Tuesday night after the Los Angeles Lakers escaped the Houston Rockets with a two-point win, 119-117. Things could’ve easily gone south for the Lakers in the dying minutes, especially after the referees committed a huge blunder. Kent Bazemore was awarded two free throws with […]

Call your health insurance company, Jeanie Buss. The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a little roll lately after winning four of their last five games, but things could change ahead of their game against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. The Lakers beat the Rockets at home on Sunday, and the two teams will have […]

Anthony Davis put up an impressive 16-point, 13-rebound double-double on Sunday as the Los Angeles Lakers logged back-to-back wins at the expense of the Houston Rockets. It was an all-around effort from the entire squad, but in his mind, AD believes there was one key factor that led to the W. According to Davis, it […]

Spooky SZN is always an interesting time for NBA fans. Why, you ask? Because once Halloween hits, the players channel their inner children and dress up in costumes! Of course, since these are multi-millionaire NBA players we’re talking about, they go absolutely nuts with their fits, rivalling those of professional cosplayers at times. With that […]
