As the LA Lakers played against Detroit Pistons in their NBA match up, Anthony Davis got injured again after hurting his left ankle. Amidst all of this the LA Lakers went down against the Detroit Pistons.

“He’s a pro’s pro,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said. “There’s a reason why he’s had the career he’s had and why he’s going to be in the Hall of Fame. It’s not just because of raw talent, but because he’s a worker and loves the game.”
