Relentless positivity has been a valuable tool for the oft-injured Davis, but this season is challenging some of his most sincerely held beliefs about the roster he’s a part of and its potential.
LOS ANGELES — The only thing sunnier than the Southern California weather is Anthony Davis.
Davis was also the player who said “we’ll be fine” on multiple occasions after losses, who infamously said the Lakers were capable of winning 10 straight games, who said Sunday afternoon as the Lakers continued to slip in the standings of 62-win Phoenix: “a team that’s playing well but also can be beat.”
“Unfortunately, I’ve been in that situation several times, and this year, twice where I feel like it’s out of my control, to a certain extent,” he said in March. “Landed on my foot and then someone fell into my knee but I’ve learned over the years when I’m rehabbing to kind of just, like you say, to just put myself in this quote, unquote bubble and lock in and try to get back as soon as possible.”
“You see him wincing, and you see him struggling,” he said after their sixth consecutive loss. “We’re trying to use him as much as we can without overdoing it. … He’s not 100%, but he’s giving us everything he can. He’s playing with a lot of heart. I’m proud of him. We just keep falling short.”
