The NBA playoffs are in full flow right now, and this year’s post season has had its fair share of surprises already. While the Lakers were the defending champions, they have crashed out of the playoffs in the very first round.
After dropping game 1, the champions made a resounding comeback in the next two games, leading the series 2-1. But in game 4, Davis suffered from a groin injury which flipped the series. With AD out, the Suns completely dominated game 5.
Down 3-2, the Lakers were on the brink of elimination. Game 6 was certainly a must-win for the Lakers if they wanted to stay alive in the post-season. In a last-ditch attempt, the champions’ medical staff allowed Davis to start game 6.
AD certainly was in discomfort, and was clearly struggling. After six minutes on the court, the 8-time All-Star couldn’t continue and left the floor. Without Davis, LeBron James and the Lakers ultimately lost the game and crashed out of the playoffs in six games.
Charles Barkley questions Lakers’ medical staff
Charles Barkley was certainly not the biggest fan of how the team handled AD’s injury, especially knowing he was nowhere near in condition to start. In a recent podcast, Barkley criticized the doctors in Lakers’ medical staff.
“If they saw him warm up and cleared him to warm up, I mean start that game, they got the worst doctors in the world out there. They got a bunch of Dr Kervokians out there he should have never been in the game.”
The Hall of Famer also clarified why he called the 28-year-old as ‘Streetclothes Davis.’ “Listen I’m a big Anthony Davis fan always have been and will be… We’re gonna make fun of people on TNT, I mean that’s just the way this thing is. I hope he’s not offended uh but you know what I’m hoping this is a wake-up call for him.”
