Anthony Davis seems to have suffered a knee injury. 😳
Fakes a three, got it, Anthony Davis. And now an illegal pick on LeBron, and AD's hurt again. This time it's a knee. He's trying to get up to see if he can walk it off. Anthony Davis, who hurt his ankle in the first half, now has a knee injury. As you look at the replay, Daniels went right into his knee. He's heading back to the locker room for the second time tonight.
Anthony Davis ends the season with a serious injury, and LeBron's expression confirms it!
He's 0 for 2 so far tonight, lobbing to A.D. at the sprint. Oh, oh, yeah, he came down. His foot was not out, right on the side of Gobert's foot, and he went immediately down and hurt. This entire crowd is gasping. Down A.D. again. That's unfortunately the typical basketball injury where you hope that it's nothing serious. We really do. I mean, the trouble staying on the floor throughout his entire career, especially the last year or so. Here it is again. I've talked about it all the time. This is what happens. You're in a crowd, and when you jump and come down, sometimes your feet don't go firmly on the floor; they hit the side of another player's foot.
