After recovering from an injury that kept him out for around a month, Davis has once again picked up an injury. During the match against Utah Jazz, Davis sustained an injury and was sidelined in the middle of the game. After footage of him limping backstage has gone viral, fans have given their reactions. Some of them are already speculating the Lakers’ season to be over owing to AD’s injury.
Anthony Davis injures himself again
The Los Angeles Lakers have been disappointing all season. Anthony Davis has been dealing with injuries all season while Russell Westbrook is having a shocker of a season.

On top of that, Davis has injured himself once again barely weeks after coming from a month-long injury. Although Davis has not had the best of form, he is still a crucial part of the Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup.
Despite the Lakers pulling off a brilliant 106-101 comeback against the Utah Jazz, the celebrations did not last long due to Anthony Davis’ injury news. According to reports, AD is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks.

Davis suffered this horrible injury during the second quarter of the game. He went airborne to catch a pass from Malik Monk when he landed on the heels of Rudy Gobert. Davis went down clutching his right ankle and had to be taken off the court shortly.
The Lakers are currently 9th in the Western Conference. And with Anthony Davis missing out on action for 2 weeks at least, the Lakers face an even tougher challenge for the playoff spot.

Man. You’ve got to feel for AD, he’s got so much talent yet held back by injuries. Being in the conversation for top bigs in the league despite all the injuries… imagine a consistently healthy AD
