Ahead of Lakers-Warriors, Davis receives news of head injury

Anthony Davis will be on court in the decisive match between lakers x Warriors. The pivot, who had to leave the court last Wednesday, 10, due to a head injury, seems to have recovered. After saying that he felt “dizzy” and the North American press considering a concussion, Darvin Ham reassured everyone during his press conference on the afternoon of Thursday the 11th, on the eve of game six.

According to the coach of the Los Angeles team, Davis will be ready for the match between Lakers and Warriors. The expectation is that he will even be in the starting lineup, as the risk of concussion has been ruled out. It is worth noting that if the diagnosis had been positive, the player could even miss game six, as the NBA has strict rules regarding head injuries.

“We did an assessment on it. AD is feeling great. Our medical team gave us a great update. He’s not on the (concussion) protocol. It shows no sign of anything. It will be listed as likely tomorrow… That’s great, great news. We follow protocol, not just with AD, but with any of our players and staff.“, he stated.

It is important to highlight that Anthony Davis is seen by Darvin Ham as a fundamental piece for the offensive functioning of the Lakers. According to the coach, the player’s return is of “enormous” importance for the team. It is important to remember that the center has stood out in these playoffs and collaborated so that the Los Angeles stars went far in the knockout stage.

It is huge. He is the centerpiece of what we are trying to do to reach our goal.“, highlighted Darvin Ham on the return of Anthony Davis to the confrontation between Lakers and Warriors.

Davis was the target of ‘laughing’ because of the suspected concussion!

Shortly after Game Five, where Anthony Davis’ injury was discussed by several local sports programs, some went overboard with the player. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal, during the “NBA on TNT” program, did not hold back their laughter when talking about the pivot. The idol of the Los Angeles team was the first to laugh and saw his teammate also burst out laughing.

Asked about the reason for the laughs, Charles Barkley mocked and replied: “Shaq is over there crumpling paper, that’s why I’m laughing”. Many understood that the professional compared the ace of the Lakers with the role that Shaquille was in hand. It should be noted that Davis has already suffered from a series of injuries and, as a result, many American commentators did not take his concussion risk seriously.
