The Los Angeles Lakers could move off Anthony Davis and trade him in the off-season should he fail to lead the 17-time NBA champions to the playoffs.
Despite a brutal injury to LeBron James, the Lakers have stayed in the mix for the postseason and secured a crucial 111-105 win over the Orlando Magic at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night. Austin Reaves took over with 35 points while Davis contributed with a solid defensive showing, tallying 11 rebounds and four blocks in the win.
However, the eight-time All-Star ultimately struggled offensively as he shot 6-for-15 from the floor to the tune of 15 points. The performance came after some more impressive performances (26 points versus the Dallas Mavericks and 35 points versus the New Orleans Pelicans) but Davis’ shooting has faltered recently.
