Anthony Davis was not selected as an All-Star this season and the Los Angeles Lakers big man is not too bummed about it.
Davis has been injured for a significant chunk of the year, playing in just 31 games due to an MCL sprain and various other injuries. He’s embracing the opportunity for some extra rest.
“I mean I kind of figured I wasn’t just because of the amount of games I’ve missed,” Davis told reporters after a loss to the Clippers on Thursday. “It’s the first time in my career where I don’t have to go to the All-Star game. I know my wife is ecstatic. We don’t have to be an All-Star and be somewhere else. Congrats to all those guys.”
Davis has been great when he’s been on the court, especially of late with LeBron James out of the lineup. He’s averaging 23.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game and expects to get more chances to rack up All-Star nods in his career.
