Just five games into the regular season Anthony Davis is already missing games due to health issues. The 29-year-old forward was out against the Timberwolves due to a low back tightness.
He was limited by injuries during the last two years and there was hope that this season will be different as he had more time to recover and get in shape. The fact that the Lakers are losing only makes it worse.
However, LeBron James is not too concerned and about his teammate’s health. “He has to do what’s best for his body,” the four-time NBA champion said. “Do what’s best for his body and mind. When his mind is gone, everything falls to the waysides. He has to trust himself, he has to.
“Yes, he wants to play every game, yes, he wants to be out there for our team, but he’s had a lot bumps bruises over the last few years, so he has to trust himself, trust his staff and not put his body in harm’s way.”
