.RohanNadkarni offers three thoughts on the injury to Lakers star Anthony Davis, who will reportedly miss around a month of time due to a foot injury
1. Davis Deserves Better Than the Inevitable Criticism
You can write in ink that AD will catch heat for this foot injury. People will say they weren’t surprised. That he’s brittle. Charles Barkley will almost certainly call him “Street Clothes.” It’s a bummer, and it’s unfair to Davis, who has seemingly done everything in his power to stay on the floor this season. And more than that, Davis had returned to form after a hellish post-bubble stretch that had an unquantifiable impact on the players who made deep playoff runs.
In any case, the real disappointment here is not being able to watch this version of Davis on the floor. AD was putting together one of the finest seasons of his career, averaging 27/12 on a career-best 59.3% shooting. He was controlling the paint on both ends of the court, and his offensive explosion was particularly impressive, as he excised outside shots and started putting more pressure on the rim. Every ounce of Davis’s effort was needed.
