Anthony Davis is not proud of the Lakers’ 2021 season. When Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook and others joined he and LeBron James in Los Angeles, the goal was to compete for an NBA championship.
Prior to Davis returning to the court on April 1 in the Lakers' game against the Pelicans, the eight-time All-Star had missed the previous 18 games with a sprained foot in his second extended absence of the season. From December to the latter part of January, he missed 17 consecutive games with a MCL sprain in his left knee.
When he returned, Davis had only played in 37 games while being out for 39 this season.
