Shams: Anthony Davis Out At Least One Month with Foot Injury

[Catchall]

It's been the same for the past two years as well. TBH, this isn't even really news anymore.

If the Lakers want to make the playoffs this year, they need to call up New York and trade for Randle.

Randle, Fournier and Reddish for Westbrook and a 1st rounder or two, something like that. Just make it happen.

Randle plays plenty of minutes, never gets hurt and just needs a #1 option to limit his overdribbling into turnovers. Best skill is availability, so just rest AD til you're close to the playoffs.

I have also broken nearly every bone in my body in a variety of unusual ways but unfortunately no one pays me millions of dollars to do so. Life is not fair, man.

Anyway, sorry Lakers fans. Hope he makes a fast and full recovery.

How did you break them?

AD after he plays 20 consecutive games:

Availability is your best ability. AD and Leonard are the two of the least amount of the former.

Probably should trade him at this point. Good player, but unreliable. They aren't going to win much going forward with him always getting injured. This should be taken as a blessing in disguise and give Pelinka time to finally do a true rebuild. Trade the brow and get some draft picks. Trade Bron and get some picks.

I don't see many AD suitors cause you need to a Clippers kind of situation where the team will make the POs without him and probably win the first round too and then you have AD ball out for a couple of weeks in Hope's of competing for a chip.

Dream scenario
Davis + LeBron + Westbrook + 2 unprotected picks for Giannis

Hahaha

Only a dream for LAL.

MIL laughs you off the phone.

Like how?

Curious. Thats an unusual thing for someone.

I had 2 open heart surgeries as a child and back then they were still making a giant incision on your chest and cracking your ribcage open to access the heart. So I had a broken ribcage that was tied back together with some chicken wire that's still in there.

Then I broke my wrist when I was younger. Still no idea how or when it even happened. It was bugging me and I went the doctor and it was broken.

Then in my 20's I broke my foot drunkenly dancing around the house, and my arm playing sports.

Then my coup de grace was a few years back my tire blew on the freeway and my car went off the side of the road and about 30 feet down a cliff and landed upside down. Broke my spine in 6 places and my skull and suffered a brain injury.

Super fun lol.

Man…sorry to hear that bro. Stuff like that really makes you stronger however.

To which team and for what? At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if teams ask for draft compensation just to take on Anthony Davis contract after his latest foot injury.

Didn't take long for the simple jack takes to commence.

[r1terrell23]

man, you have to feel bad for AD, he can catch a break.

That was the joke.

What?

No.

[ShazamDaShiznt]

If one Anthony is out, that means the opportunity for next Anthony. What's Carmelo up to these days?

[jokeboy86]

Some people have weak bones and tendons, i think the mocking of AD medical history is brash.

He just happens to be a really good athlete with a bad structural condition.

With him I always wonder does it have anything to do with that growth spurt he got in high school. He went from 6’2 to like 6’10-11 in 2 years

[Ursusamericanus]

It was only a matter of time...

[JDR720]

I've looked at that play several times and I still have no idea how he got hurt, let alone hurt bad enough to miss a month.

[thelead]

It was only a matter of time unfortunately

Wow!
That’s a lot to go through.
Hope you’re alright. Sounds like you’re as strong as it gets right now.

I broke my left thumb playing basketball 23 years ago and was absolutely miserable for 2 months. Finished that game though in horrible pain and our team won the intramural championship. I only realized I broke it a few days later.

At some point Jeanie buss has to decide this is just not working. You are better off trading Lebron once he passes Kareem and AD for boat load of picks and young players and just rebuild.
