Lakers Fans React to Anthony Davis' Alarming Statement

Over the weekend, Lakers forward Anthony Davis caused quite the stir. In an appearance on the Nuke Squad YouTube gaming channel, the Lakers superstar admitted that he hasn't shot a basketball since April 5th. After such a disappointing season where Davis missed more games than he played, fans were a little frustrated to learn that he hasn't been in the gym putting up shots.
I been seeing Bron posting being in the lakers facility every morning at 5am and Anthony Davis said he not working on his game but he starting gta v twitch streams.

Come on man 😂
For me this is alarming. 2 months without shooting a basketball after the most dissapointing season you’ve had in years should EAT at you. Especially when your shot was horrible all season. It’s feeling like Anthony Davis won a chip and stopped trying.

Josh Eberley of Hoop Magazine pointed out that AD can do as he pleases, but it's just an overall bad look.
Anthony Davis can take time off, it’s his right but the Lakers are coming off a bad year and in the last two years he’s been the worst 3PT shooter in the league. So, him not shooting a ball for months does feel like a real tough look.

Some fans are banking on the Lakers reported hiring of Rasheed Wallace helping change Davis' practice habits.
Rasheed Wallace is coming to coach the Lakers and everyone is terrified for Anthony Davis. 😭🤣🤣
