Anthony Davis has addressed his obvious lack of ability to beat fellow All-Star large man Domantas Sabonis.
Talking earlier than Wednesday evening’s Lakers-Kings sport in Sacramento, Davis mentioned he wasn’t even fascinated by particular person matchups.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Davis mentioned with a shake of the top in a video posted by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
“I’m all concerning the staff, I wish to get a win, clearly, simply due to the actual fact we’re… two video games I feel, behind them… simply to have the ability to shut that hole. So, the one-on-one factor, it doesn’t hassle me.”

Sadly for Davis, he would fall to 0-10 towards Sabonis later within the evening, with LA shedding to Sacramento 120-107.
The Lakers large man completed the sport with 22 factors, 10 rebounds and three assists on 38 p.c taking pictures, whereas Sabonis put up 17 factors, 19 rebounds and 10 assists on 60 p.c taking pictures.
In addition to being 0-10 towards Sabonis, Davis can also be 1-7 towards Joel Embiid and has misplaced his final seven video games towards Nikola Jokic.
Nonetheless, he’s 12-8 towards Giannis Antetokounmpo and 8-5 towards Bam Adebayo.
Davis says he isn’t fascinated by particular person matchups and that’s not shocking contemplating his Lakers have extra urgent issues because the run to the NBA Play-In Event intensifies.
Following tonight’s loss in Sacramento, the ninth-placed Lakers are actually only one sport forward of the Tenth-placed Golden State Warriors, and two and a half video games behind the eighth-placed Dallas Mavericks.
