With Anthony Davis out, all hopes rest on LeBron James’ shoulders
After it was revealed on Sunday that Anthony Davis would miss at least one month with a right foot injury, the Lakers’ season might be in serious jeopardy. Their 8-time All-Star has seriously dealt with the issue of ‘durability,’ on the same note, Davis had to leave Friday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. According to the most recent sources, he was initially evaluated on Saturday and declared unfit for Sunday’s game due to “right foot pain.”
He was scheduled to undergo another evaluation on Sunday. For the Lakers, who were riding Anthony Davis as he played some of the finest basketball of his career, it is a crushing blow. Davis averages 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game this year. It will now be extremely difficult for the Lakers to be competitive this season.
Even with Davis playing well and in good condition, they still had problems with it. The Lakers’ situation will become extremely, extremely, dangerous with him out.
It will be even more crucial to build on Thomas Bryant’s recent outstanding performance. Damian Jones, who has been sitting on the sidelines, might get more playing time soon. The upcoming recovery of Wenyen Gabriel will also be crucial. LeBron James will probably play at center more often this season as well. All of those, however, are insufficient remedies for the issue.
