Anthony Davis ready to be Lakers' No. 1 offensive option: 'I've got goosebumps just thinking about this year'

LOS ANGELES — To say Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is eager to embark upon the 2022-23 season would be an understatement.

“I’m so excited that I’ve got goosebumps just thinking about this year,” Davis told Yahoo Sports this week. “I’m looking forward to a healthy year and doing what I know we can do.”

Having played in only 40 games due to injuries last season, and with the Lakers missing the playoffs altogether, the 29-year-old power forward said he’s on a mission to help lead the franchise to a bounce-back year.

“I went into this summer focusing on strengthening my body,” Davis told Yahoo Sports.
