Lakers News: Darvin Ham Responds To Paul Reed's Anthony Davis Diss

How will AD respond?

Your Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of a four-game road trip, taking on the Phildelphia 76ers for the second of four. If the Lakers need any extra motivation for this one, look no further than the comments made by 76ers forward Paul Reed. 

As you've seen on this site and social media, Reed took a shot at Lakers star center Anthony Davis and called him a "flopper." 

Considering who Reed's teammate is, these are odd words, but that comment got to the Lakers, including head coach Darvin Ham. Ham was asked about Reed's comment before tip-off, and this is what he had to say. 

Darvin Ham on Paul Reed calling Anthony Davis a “big flopper” this morning: “He’s got to go guard him, I guess. … Best of luck, Paul”

Word clearly got to Ham, which means it got to the Lakers' big man. I'm sure Reed's comments confused everyone in the Lakers locker room, but nonetheless, what was said was said, and now, we'll see how the star big man responds. 

It is a big game between these two title contenders, and AD will need to show up and show out for the purple and gold to capture another road victory against an excellent team. 

Tonight will be a fun one, and we cannot wait to see how things play out.
