In 75 regular season games last year, Anthony Davis failed to eclipse a 40% field goal percentage a mere six times. Through seven appearances of this young 2018-19 campaign, he has already failed to surpass that mark four times following game #10 on the schedule.
It’s not hard to fathom Davis is likely still suffering from the effects of an injury he sustained against the Brooklyn Nets, but should that argument be used to explain away all of the other troubling displays?
After the loss to the San Antonio Spurs a few nights ago, I had remarked I simply preferred LaMarcus Aldridge’s effort to AD’s in the comments section of our recap and someone brought up the injury — hey, all of his woeful shooting performances have occurred after straining his right, shooting elbow.
