The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t get the best news regarding Anthony Davis, as the superstar will be out indefinitely with a right foot injury. This was the last thing the Lakers and AD wanted right now, as they were climbing back up on the leaderboard, and their situation could get worse now.
The good thing is that the Lakers passed their first test without AD, beating the Washington Wizards in an exciting duel. Now, they need to do the same in the next games, which include duels against the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic.
This new AD injury is worrisome for the team, as they were starting to play better, and Davis was showing that he wasn’t done. Shams Charania reported on Sunday that Davis will be out for at least one month with this new injury, sending the alarms for the Purple and Gold.
Anthony Davis’ Injury Might Be Worse Than Expected, Says Brian Windhorst
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst has given his two pennies on this situation, revealing more troubling details about this new injury. During the most recent episode of his “The Hoop Collective” show, the insider made some huge revelations about Davis’ new injury and how hard it could be for him.
Right off the bat, Windy says that the Lakers hoped to see something more promising from their player, but this injury is looking more serious than expected.
“He’s not gonna be out a game or two, he’s gonna be out an extended period. Hopefully, it’s an injury he can get some treatment on and get it healed. It’s not good, it’s not a sprained ankle, it’s not a sprained foot. From what I understand, it’s something more concerning than that.”
Windhorst explains that the Lakers were seeing their season turning around until last Friday, especially with their improved 3-point shooting, Russell Westbrook thriving off the bench, and AD playing like the best version of himself. But now, the absence of AD can be huge for the Purple and Gold.
Many fans reacted to this sad news, as everybody wanted to see the Lakers playing well and see if they could compete against the top teams in the Western Conference. Now, the situation doesn’t look that promising, but we hope Davis gets the help he needs and can come back to the court to help his squad secure a playoff spot and compete in the postseason for the championship.
