The Los Angeles Lakers have had a tough start to the 2021-2022 campaign. Despite surrounding LeBron James and Anthony Davis with some of the league’s biggest names, the team isn’t looking as deadly as it does on paper. It seems as if team chemistry is a big issue for the 2020 NBA champs.
Anthony Davis sustained a thumb injury during the dying minutes of the 1st half, against the OKC last week. Even though he managed to play the remainder of the game out, he still wasn’t so sure about his availability for Saturday night’s clash against the Blazers.
Even though he was listed as “questionable”, The Brow was in the starting lineup. And only after 7 minutes of action, had to leave the game with a stomach illness. According to coach Frank Vogel, Davis threw four times prior to the tip-off, yet wanted to play.
Frank Vogel says that AD threw up four times prior to tip-off. Was hoping the feeling would subside while playing but it did not. https://t.co/dcPDEqKeyM

The ailing Lakers are already missing the likes of LeBron James (rectus abdominal strain), Trevor Ariza (right ankle injury recovery), Talen Horton-Tucker (right thumb injury recovery), and Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone bruise) for Monday night’s clash.

Even though LAL will definitely miss the likes of Davis on the court, they will surely not risk him unless he is declared as 100% fit to play. Unfortunately for Laker fans, we may very well see Anthony Davis be benched to prevent any further injuries.
