Anthony Davis returned to the starting lineup after missing five games against the Boston Celtics but did not look like the dominant player the Los Angeles Lakers have become accustomed to seeing during the 2019-20 NBA season.
The Lakers as a team struggled to get anything going on both ends of the floor, but Davis was clearly trying to work his way back as he looked tentative and out of sync during his 23 minutes of action. As a result, he and Los Angeles suffered their worst loss of the season.
However, things were much different in the team’s 100-92 win over the New York Knicks as Davis looked much more comfortable going up against a frontcourt that had no answer for him.
