Anthony Davis Said His Wife Called Him Out After Recent Performance

The Los Angeles Lakers edged out a tough 103-99 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday behind a strong performance from LeBron James, who tallied 32 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and four steals.

Anthony Davis’ performance wasn’t quite as memorable.

He scored just ten points on 4-10 shooting, though he did contribute 15 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks.

However, one late-game sequence had everyone calling him out, from the fans to his wife.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin shared a postgame clip on X of Davis discussing his two missed free throws late in the game, the second of which was rebounded by teammate Rui Hachimura to retain possession, and he said, “My wife even called me and said, ‘Rui saved you.’ So that made me feel worse.”

With 12 seconds left and the Lakers up 101-99, Davis was fouled and sent to the line for two free throws, which could have iced the game.

He missed both of them.

Hachimura corraled the rebound on the second miss, which led to Austin Reaves getting fouled just seconds later and going to the line to hit two free throws and seal the victory.

Davis is a career 79.5 percent free-throw shooter, so missing both in a critical moment like that is unlike him and shouldn’t be any cause for concern for this team.

There is nothing like a strong wife to push you to be the best version of yourself, and Lakers fans can take solace in the fact that Mrs. Davis is not putting up with missed free throws in the clutch.
