After seven seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Davis returned to the city he called home for the first time as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Considering all that happened during the 2018-19 NBA season highlighted by the January trade request, Davis was booed every time he touched the basketball.
While Davis was forcing the action in the first half, he eventually calmed down and finished with 41 points, which was the most by a player against his former team.
Following the 114-110 win, Davis was ‘thankful’ for the Lakers and what they have accomplished so far through their 16-2 record, according to Spectrum SportsNet:
I’m thankful… thankful for this guy No.
