One thing isn’t proper with the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve misplaced their final two video games by a mixed 70 factors. That features a 134-93 loss to the Warmth on Wednesday evening. On Monday, the Lakers had been on the street and misplaced 109-80 to the Timberwolves. A significant component why the Lakers haven’t performed effectively of their final two video games is the dearth of manufacturing from Anthony Davis. LeBron James is 39 and can flip 40 this month. He’s taken a slight step again this season in his consistency and Davis has been the Lakers’ greatest plater.
The massive man is averaging (26.9) factors, (11.3) rebounds, (3.4) assists, (1.2) steals, and (1,9) blocks per sport. That’s far and away essentially the most manufacturing of any Laker in 2024-25. Nonetheless, Davis has struggled big-time within the staff’s final two video games. Davis had 12 factors, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists in Monday’s loss to Minnesota. On Wednesday, he adopted that up with a good worse efficiency. He had eight factors, seven rebounds, and 5 assists in a 134-93 loss. Davis is the perfect participant on the Lakers’ roster and so they can not afford to have him play at this degree. This can be a small stoop for the all-star PF who might be desperate to play effectively on Friday vs. the Hawks.
