Anthony Davis has a bad history of injuries. Throughout his career, Davis has suffered a plethora of serious injuries when his team needs him the most.

During the Los Angeles Lakers’ comfortable Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Anthony Davis could have picked up another injury when he smashed into the sidelines. But a brave Lakers fan threw his body to provide AD a soft landing while another held the 30-year-old. An NBA fan on Reddit posted an image of the incredible sacrifice.

NBA fans are extremely passionate about their favorite players and teams. The above-attached post is the perfect example of it.

Davis’ availability is crucial for the Lakers if they want to have a deep run in the 2023 NBA playoffs. The anonymous fan in the image sacrificed his body, probably thinking the same.

The Lakers currently have a 2-1 lead in the first-round series vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, and Davis has played a vital role in that.


Anthony Davis Embraces The Role Of Being A Leader Of The Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis and LeBron James are the two leaders of the Los Angeles Lakers. On any given night, the duo sometimes takes turns when being the primary superstar of the team.

In the Game 3 win over the Grizzlies, Davis registered 31 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks.

 After the win, Davis addressed how he has learned to be a leader of the team, even ahead of James at times.

“Yeah. You have to embrace it. Obviously, we have another guy in LeBron,” Davis said. “I just try to do my part. They give me the ball, I try to go score and make a play. Do the right things and make the right reads. It gives me a lot of confidence that our guys, our coaches, our organization has enough confidence in me for me to be that guy to kind of lead the charge.”

Laker Nation will hope to see another dominant performance from Davis in Game 4 at the Crypto.com Arena. The Purple and Gold have a chance to take a 3-1 lead over the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies.
