Wizards Notes: Davis, Defense, Dybantsa, Start To Season
Star big man Anthony Davis returned to action on Monday in Detroit after missing the Wizards’ previous two games with a right ankle sprain and had his best individual performance since he joined the team, recording 44 points (on 16-of-21 shooting) and 13 rebounds in 34 minutes.
However, the 33-year-old forward/center wasn’t in a celebratory mood afterward as the Wizards lost their fourth straight game. Davis singled out the team’s defense as the primary culprit for the four-game skid, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic (free link).
