While the Los Angeles Lakers have been connected to rampant Anthony Davis trade speculation over the past week, head coach Luke Walton has been tasked with keeping his players focused on the court.
Trade rumors can often affect the psyche of players, especially young ones who haven’t seen this happen yet. It was recently suggested the Davis saga was weighing heavily on the Lakers young core, as they’ve been connected to a possible deal.
Though, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma each dismissed the notion that it’s had any impact on them. Walton also commended his young players for blocking out the external noise.
