Imagine if its like his first Mavs game where he goes crazy but gets injured towards the end

30 points, 13 rbs, 3 blks, 3 asts through 3 quarters..

Injured in the 4th and out for 3 months.

Makes a big block -> fastbreak dunk -> over the top celebration -> injuries himself during said celebration

Meanwhile the score is Lakers 38 - 5 Mavs

FanDuel has prop bets on if it’s an achilles, ACL, shoulder or MCL.

/s

You already know.

Just like Norm Powell last year with the Clippers. Rushed back early cause it’s the Lakers and just reinjured himself only to then be out for another month as the Clippers got blown out anyway.

Probably just wants to experience getting cheered for again

Rushing back? He coulda came back a month ago

I saw Kawhi miss a bunch of games, come back to play us, then miss like 20 more. We’re not making this shit up

I mean he legit said he wanted to come back to play the Lakers

well it was obvious, pretty much every player wants to show out against their former team and it is especially true of someone who has been getting a crazy amount of criticism after the trade has happened. plus he literally said he wants to play against us lmao

There was one dude on the jazz forgot who he was, he missed like 8-9 games in a row, played us and then sat out the rest of the games because the jazz were tanking.

last year i saw a stat that confirmed players play the lakers more than any team lol

He’ll probably play this game and then won’t be seen for 2 months for “injury management”

This one at least makes sense though!

Oh we definitely are. Just not about players gettt up for us lol

I mean we have statistical proof lol. It’s not just us blabbing

this has been a thing forever, players always show up against the Lakers

Even injured role players comes back to play against the Lakers and sit the next games.

How dare you

Can’t imagine the shit show if he gets injured during this game …

Stars just want to shine in the Crypt lol

All players return from injury to play the Lakers. Its documented and proven lmao

Do you really want AD to play well, win us games, limp to the playoffs as an 8th seed and end up facing MJ Washington in round 1?

“Best I can do is 3 quarters”

Damned if you do damned if you don’t. If he sits out he will be clowned online, but if he succumbs to the pressure and plays when he shouldn’t only to get injured he will also be clowned online.

Coop takes touches away from Coop lol, dude doesn’t want it

Polymarket has AD injury at +400

Why would LA do this

He’ll get all the DNP’s he needs after this game lol

Dog you said Chet was a role player this week. Maybe hold off on judging other’s intelligence

They could win by 100 with a highlight of AD breaking Luka’s ankles and nobody would say “Nico was right”.

Even though Nico fucked up i do hope we get to see AD&Kyrie play together. Cooper Flagg also has insanely good vets to learn from

Reaves is going to light us up. I think he might be better than AD at this point in his career.

They would which is why it’s just so much better for the NBA overall if Dallas win AD drops ⁴⁰⁄₁₅ with 3 blocks and Luka shoots poorly

It’s just better, Lakers have to take one for the team

If the Mavs win, I’ll eat my dinner

Scheduled loss as part of the trade 

I need Nico to retweet someone saying that if the Mavs win

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks to LeBron glazing over the last 3-4 years, no one appreciates what AD was doing. Want to know why LeBron was scoring 30 in a game? It’s because AD was anchoring their defense. LeBron was literally doing nothing on that end of the floor. Before y’all call me a hater, LeBron is playing defense again. So this isn’t LeBron slander. This is reminding everyone what AD was doing.

In the 2023 NBA Cup championship game, Anthony Davis recorded an exceptional stat line, scoring 41 points, grabbing 20 rebounds, and adding 5 assists, 4 blocks, and 4 turnovers in 41 minutes of play. He shot 16-of-24 (66.7%) from the field and 9-of-13 (69.2%) from the free-throw line.

He’s gonna do what does I have no doubt! Ball tf out for a quarter and ¹⁄₂ then tear or sprain something and be back in street clothes for the next 2-4 months.

I don’t know, if he was gonna ball out, wouldn’t he have done so in the April game when AD played the Lakers back in Dallas? He was playing in that game and was pretty invisible. It’s less likely he’ll ball out tonight given his return from injury and feeling rusty. 

KD has left the chat

Kyrie has left the earth disc

Not me. If this had been a normal game, yeah. But him rushing back to play the Lakers? Nah. He can get a goose egg as far as I’m concerned.

He already got one in Feb while in street clothes

Tell us how you really feel

AD didnt do anything man

As a Ravens fan, please no
