NBA analyst apologises after mocking Anthony Davis for leaving game with concussion

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis left the court in a wheelchair on Wednesday night, and ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith has apologised after mocking the NBA star.

Davis suffered what appeared to be an accidental elbow to the face by Golden State Warriors star Kevon Looney in the fourth quarter, and was instantly affected. Davis then was carted off in a wheelchair due to concerns over his balance, but thankfully an early diagnosis ruled that the Lakers star had avoided a concussion.

But this wasn't known at the time, and there was real concern over the wellbeing of Davis who was clearly in severe discomfort. There wasn't any sympathy from Smith though, but he has since apologised for his actions on Twitter.
