Anthony Davis' Injury and Shaq-Barkley Controversy: NBA Fans React on Twitter

“These two fat f**ks are so disgusting” – Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley laughing at Anthony Davis’ injury update leaves NBA Twitter FUMING

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis suffered a head injury during Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinal against the Golden State Warriors. The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter when Davis received a glancing blow to the head from Warriors’ Kevon Looney. Davis was removed from the game and evaluated on the bench before being taken to another room for further assessment.

While in the room, Davis experienced dizziness, and his equilibrium was off, leading to the Lakers’ medical staff using a wheelchair to take him to the locker room. The situation caught the attention of TNT’s “Inside the NBA” analysts Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, who were caught laughing about Davis being in a wheelchair. The pair joked about the situation until Kenny Smith reminded them that the situation was no laughing matter.

Following the game, Davis was seen walking out of the arena, which suggests that he was well enough to walk on his own. The Lakers lost the game 121-106, and with Game 6 scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, the team is unsure if Davis will be available to play.
