Lakers’ LeBron James Reacts To Anthony Davis’ Stellar Performance In Mavericks-Hawks Game

LeBron James Expresses Joy For His Former Lakers Teammate

The Dallas Mavericks have struggled significantly since trading away Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers at the start of February, but Wednesday night offered a glimmer of hope for fans. Anthony Davis, the centerpiece of the trade that sent Doncic to Los Angeles, delivered his best performance yet as a Maverick, capping it off with a game-winning shot in their 120-118 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Davis, who put up an impressive 34 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks while sealing the win for the Mavericks, only recently returned from injury. Many fans and analysts had suggested that the 32-year-old should sit out the rest of the season, especially after Kyrie Irving was ruled out for the year. However, Davis, ever the competitor, chose to return to action—a decision that has clearly paid off. His performance drew praise from his former Lakers teammate, LeBron James, who was thrilled to see him thriving in Dallas.

Even though they now wear different jerseys, the bond between LeBron James and Anthony Davis remains unbreakable. Their time together on the Lakers saw them fight through countless battles, including their triumphant 2020 NBA championship run. That kind of shared history creates a connection that neither distance nor time can diminish.
