Anthony Davis is not well. Despite having a spectacular start to the campaign, the Lakers center has problems in his left foot, which showed up last night in the game against the Detroit Pistons.
It was exactly in the last quarter when his pain in his left foot aggravated. There were several plays in which La Ceja appeared uncomfortable when falling from some jumps, whether in defense or to face the final basket. In all these actions he grabbed his foot until he finally lay down on the parquet with clear expressions of pain. He finished the game, which they lost 115-103 to the Detroit Pistons, but there are concerns that he may be forced to stop for a while. This is how he explains it himself.
«I will talk to my coach and we will try to find out what exactly is happening. Honestly, this is something I’ve been keeping an eye on since this summer. My goal for every game is to be on the court. I simply landed directly on the affected area. We will solve it,” he explains.
Davis has not been ruled out for the Lakers’ game in Memphis on Wednesday. However, since ESPN They point out that this foot problem, which has accompanied the interior player from the end of last season until the Paris Olympic Games, will be treated as day-to-day.
LeBron speaks
As soon as the game ended, LeBron James was questioned about what Davis’ absence would mean. At first he made no assessments, but finally he pointed out what we all know.
“Don’t know. I’m going second by second… I don’t play the what if game… We’ll go by what AD says and see how he feels in the next few days and go from there, but you don’t have to be a scientist to know the impact that fact has whether AD is inside or outside,” he says.
