WATCH: Anthony Davis Gets His Revenge, Puts Jaren Jackson Jr. on a Poster

The Los Angeles Lakers have a very special night tonight. Hosting the Memphis Grizzlies, the Lakers are set to retire Pau Gasol’s jersey at halftime. He’ll be the 12th Laker to have his jersey retired and will have it right next to Kobe Bryant’s #24 jersey. Knowing the importance of the day, Anthony Davis decided to put on a first-half show.

Playing without LeBron James, Davis had  15 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks in the 19 first-half minutes he played. While going for his 10th rebound, Davis took a hit to the face, resulting in a brutal cut on his nose.

Despite the injury, Davis returned to the floor and is still playing. Before getting injured, AD did manage to get his revenge on Jaren Jackson Jr.

Anthony Davis put JJJ on a poster

A week ago, the Grizzlies hosted the Lakers. Back then, the Grizzlies came up with the win, tying the season series at one apiece. Tonight, the two teams are fighting for important causes. Grizzlies are trying to hold on to the #2 spot from the rising Kings. On the other hand, the Lakers are fighting to secure a play-in spot.

Last week, Jaren Jackson Jr. put AD on a poster while going for an offensive rebound and putback.

It didn’t take Anthony Davis long to return the favor.

This would have surely filled the team with energy. As we move on to the 2nd half with the scores at 57-56 Memphis lead, the Lakers fans would hope to see more of these dunks and hopefully a win on the home court.
