Anthony Davis Sr.: 'I Would Never Want My Son to Play for Boston'
Anthony Davis's dad did his part to quell rumors that his son would be heading to Boston to join the Celtics this summer.
In a text exchange with ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, Davis Sr. said he doesn't want his son playing in Boston in part due to how the team treated Isaiah Thomas, the former Celtics point guard who was traded to Cleveland for Kyrie Irving.
"I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they [did] to Isaiah Thomas," Anthony Davis Sr. told Shelburne. "No loyalty. Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him."
He added: "This is just my opinion, not Anthony's. I've just seen things over the years with Boston, and there's no loyalty."
