On February 17, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Focus battle, the Lakers hosted the Jazz challenge at home. Before this game, the Lakers had suffered three consecutive losses, with a record of only 26 wins and 31 losses, ranking 9th in the West.
In the first quarter of the match, the two sides fought 27:27. After entering the second quarter of the game, the Lakers once led by 4 points, but were played by the Jazz, and with 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers trailed the Jazz 41:46. At this time, a surprising scene occurred on the field.
In a wave of the Lakers' offense, Davis jumped high, and he stepped on Gobert's heel when he landed, so he lost his balance and fell to the ground in pain. Davis kept slapping the floor trying to alleviate the pain, and the other Lakers players looked solemn and worried about Davis' injury.
Even more worrying is that the medical staff at the scene even carried the stretcher directly to the field. Davis then limped off the court with the support of his teammates and returned directly to the locker room. In today's game, Davis was jealous for 16 minutes, and efficiently cut 17 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks on 7-of-9 shooting.
It has to be said that Davis's injury has made the situation of the Lakers even worse. As we all know, Davis has missed a full 19 games this season due to injuries. Now that he is injured again, it is likely to bring difficulties to the Lakers in the playoffs.
