"I haven't shot a basketball since probably April 5th": Anthony Davis' recent confession alarms NBA Twitter

Anthony Davis is one of the most talented big men in the NBA. However, his injury woes and fitness concerns have hindered his progress.

With the Lakers missing the playoffs, there has been a lot of noise surrounding what’s next for the franchise. In the middle of it all stands their center Anthony Davis‘ struggle with fitness.

Ever since their Championship run in 2020, the Lakers have not been able to rely on AD’s services for long stretches.

A recently emerged image shows a considerably thinner AD looking sleek and putting in work at the gym. The tweet has swung up a conversation about AD and has incited quite a response amongst the Laker faithful.

The internet does not like seeing a slim Anthony Davis

Every fan seems to be echoing the same sentiment with regards to AD’s fitness issues despite the work he seems to be putting in.

Concerns about maximizing the championship window with Lebron James and cries for AD to take more responsibility and be the leader of this Laker squad have also been raised.

It is to be seen how “The Brow” adapts to the upcoming season. Lakers fans have reason to be optimistic that a healthy AD might drive them back to immediate contention after a lengthy break to recoup.
