Anthony Davis has been told his performances will determine how far the Los Angeles Lakers go in the NBA playoffs as LeBron James is expected to deliver as he has done across his illustrious career.
The Lakers clinched the seventh seed and will face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round after James and co. defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA Play-In. The 38-year-old scored 30 points while Davis added 24 points and 15 rebounds as Los Angeles secured a 108-102 overtime win.
James is considered by some to be the greatest player in league history, with the four-time champion reaching the NBA Finals on 10 occasions over his 20-year career. He last won the title in 2020, leading the Lakers to glory in the bubble down in Orlando alongside Davis.
