Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis has apparently given up on trying to win the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis admitted the frustration of the team's inconsistency through the first quarter of the season.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined for only 22 points on 8-of-30 shooting. Overall, the team only shot 32-of-79 or 40.5%. The Purple and Gold also committed 21 turnovers, which the Timberwolves converted to 26 points. Moreover, the Lakers allowed 20 fastbreak points.

In an interview with Fox Sports, Anthony Davis expressed his confusion over why he hasn’t received the honor during his career.

Anthony Davis had 33 points and 11 rebounds, LeBron James added 27 points and 14 assists, and the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 105-104.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis arrogantly claimed that Collin Sexton wouldn't have made the game-winning layup even without Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy's mistake.

All the good vibes brought forth by the Los Angeles Lakers’ incredible start to the 2024-25 season have to be gone by now especially after their demoralizing 109-80 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

Coming off a tough loss in Emirates NBA Cup group play against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Lakers were offered the perfect bounce back spot as they hit the road to take on the struggling Utah Jazz.
