Anthony Davis Blames Wrist Injury For Poor Shooting Last Season

Anthony Davis had some rough times last season. As many Lakers fans painstakingly remember, he only got to play 40 games, and it ultimately messed with the team’s chemistry. Numerous injuries began to take their toll on the Lakers superstar, and he wasn’t able to be as available as the team wanted him to be.

In addition to this, Davis was struggling to shoot from beyond the arc as he hovered around 18 percent throughout the entire season. This is by no means a good shooting performance, and Davis is well-aware of that. With that being said, Davis chalks it up to a wrist injury that he sustained back in January.

“A lot of people don’t know this but since January I was battling a wrist injury … it was tough for me to shoot how I wanted to shoot,” Davis told reporter Mike Trudell.

The good news here is that Davis is feeling much better and that he will be able to play his game as soon as the season starts a month from now.

Davis has had injury issues over the years, and there is this sense that we could get more of the same this season. Hopefully, this is not the case as the league is a lot more fun when Davis is firing on all cylinders.

Zion Williamson’s Latest Update Will Excite Pelicans Fans

Zion Williamson is a player who has experienced some conditioning issues over the years. Last year, Williamson sat out the entire season with a foot injury, and with no outlet for physical activity, Zion’s weight ballooned to the point where some were reporting that he was 330 pounds.

This was very bad news for the New Orleans Pelicans, who were in desperate need of Zion’s services. Thankfully, Zion has been taking his conditioning seriously, and he seems to be in great shape right now.

Throughout the last few days, Zion has been looking slim yet muscular. He is working extremely hard to get back into game shape, and while speaking to reporters during media day, he offered an update that should excite Pelicans fans.

“I feel like I’m at my best right now... Moving faster, jumping higher. I feel great,” Zion explained. There have been plenty of videos online that support these comments, as Zion continues to show off his dunking ability, while looking like the strongest man in the entire NBA.

The Pelicans are a team that made the playoffs last year and they made it difficult on the Phoenix Suns in the first round. With Zion on the roster, the Pelicans are poised for a massive season, and they could very well be a future contender in the Western Conference.
