How Anthony Davis Can Lift the Lakers Again
LOS ANGELES – Back tightness, read the Lakers injury report.
If you listened you could hear the collective groan from Anaheim.
Anthony Davis was fine, turns out. He started the Lakers preseason opener against Sacramento on Monday. He collected an assist on a Kendrick Nunn three on L.A.’s second possession. “The Chicago connection,” Davis said. He picked up a steal a few plays later. His first bucket was a fadeaway jumper from the elbow. He finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds in 16 minutes.
“That first half,” said Darvin Ham, “was really, really good.”
