The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have become fierce rivals over the last few years. As a result, when Russell Westbrook joined the Clippers after his stint was over with the Lakers, it became a huge deal.
After all, the Lakers onboarded Westbrook on the team to form a Big 3 with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Unfortunately, that Big 3 never worked out, and now Westbrook has joined their rivals.
Following Westbrook’s trade from the Lakers, Anthony Davis previously got brutally honest about his time with the 2016-17 MVP. Now, with Westbrook joining the Clippers, the media obviously wanted to know what was going on inside Davis’ head after learning about the news. Davis gave a blunt response to the question.

“I’m not part of that team. I have no idea what their locker room is like, what their chemistry is like. Honestly, I don’t really watch the Clippers like that. I got three kids. I don’t know. I mean, I know they got rid of John and Reggie, so it’s another point guard for them. I’m not sure how T-Lue and the coaching staff will utilize him, but I’m pretty sure he’s happy to stay in LA.”
Anthony Davis didn’t really get into it when answering the question about Russell Westbrook joining the Clippers. Was Davis purposely avoiding answering the question in detail?
Anthony Davis Decided To Steer Away From A Personal Opinion About Russell Westbrook Joining The Clippers
It is evident that Russell Westbrook is incredibly happy since joining the Clippers. Coming back to AD’s answer about Russ, it was definitely an interesting take by the big man.
After all, Davis tried to stay away from a more personal opinion about Westbrook’s move to the Clippers. Instead, he gave a bland answer about knowing nothing about the Clippers’ locker room and chemistry. So much so that he even revealed that he doesn’t watch the Clippers’ games.
In our opinion, this may seem a bit weird at first, but the Clippers are indeed the rivals of the Lakers. So seeing one of your own teammates join forces with them must have had some negative impact on Davis. With rumors about Davis himself wanting a move away from the Lakers going around, AD will receive a lot of attention from the media in the coming weeks.
