Lakers big man Anthony Davis is coming off of a second straight injury-plagued season after two very unfortunate contact injuries. Against the Timberwolves in December, AD suffered a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear, before suffering a midfoot sprain in February while facing the Jazz. And in an attempt to will his team into the Western Conference play-in tournament, AD returned from the midfoot injury still in noticeable discomfort and pain. Even with Davis back on the court, the Lakers were unable to earn that 83rd game and a chance to compete for a championship after the conclusion of the regular season.
Why Anthony Davis not touching a basketball for two months might be a good thing (and why it’s not surprising)
