Anthony Davis’ leg rescued from WILD celebrations after Nuggets star’s kind act

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Anthony Davis

The second Playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Nuggets was an exhilarating one. With a last-second buzzer-beater, Jamal Murray emerged victorious in the game. But there was another unsung hero who received less attention. Anthony Davis was about to get his legs broken from the post-game celebration when Kentavious Caldwell-Pope intervened.

Jamal Murray made a spectacular buzzer-beater to steal a crucial game away from the Lakers as Anthony Davis was defending him, despite the latter’s legs being in the way of the Nuggets player’s wild post-celebration. However, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a former Laker, was present to help his old friend.

The celebration could have ended with Davis getting an injury. He has already missed several games due to injuries, but KCP demonstrated his agility and composure at the moment by helping his old companion. Many people responded to the viral video of him rescuing Davis, praising the Denver Nuggets star.

It’s admirable that he supported his friend even after his team won the game, since after that specific shot nobody could have remained in their seat. In that specific instance, he displayed the sportsmanship that a player ought to possess.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets was, in fact, quite frustrating. From Jamal Murray’s incredible last-second buzzer-beater shot to not being fouled when Michael Porter Jr. slapped D’Angelo Russell in the face, Murray’s shot may have angered Anthony Davis excessively because the Lakers star was there to guard him at the last second and the shot went just above him.

Following these remarks, Davis abruptly ended the conversation by dropping the mic. He was frustrated, and why wouldn’t he be?

Finishing with 32 points and 11 rebounds, he had an incredible night. The group failed to meet expectations and was unable to cope with Davis, when they had the game in the palm of their hands.
