Lakers star Anthony Davis, who played at an MVP level before injuries plagued him once again this season, has turned to an interesting offseason training regiment to stay in shape: Boxing.
Davis, who played in 56 games for Los Angeles and averaged 25.9 points and 12.5 rebounds per game this season, appears to be searching for ways to keep himself on the court and available as the team looks to make another title run with him paired alongside an aging LeBron James.
Here’s the video of Davis working out in a ring in Santa Monica.

Do the Lakers know this is happening? Please make it stop! Instead let's work on his core, his strength and flexibility. And how to fall without getting hurt. https://t.co/Q1omrZgsgA
