After a disappointing finish to the 2021-22 campaign, the Lakers have found themselves in the national spotlight. Many wonder if this veteran roster has the pieces necessary to compete in a tough Western Conference. If the Lakers have any shot at making the NBA playoffs, they will need to get the most out of Anthony Davis. While AD is an elite talent, he struggles to stay healthy. Despite posting impressive stats, Davis has played just 76 out of a possible 164 games over the past two seasons. LeBron James has continued to impress. But it's time for Davis to take the reins and become the main guy. James is about to enter his 20th NBA season. His workload will need to be managed. Davis staying healthy will allow the Lakers to keep James fresh heading into a potential playoff series. Speaking recently on 'Undisputed', NBA analyst Shannon Sharpe spoke bluntly about Anthony Davis. He believes the eight-time All-Star needs to silence the doubters and play up to his potential.

In his last season with the Lakers, the veteran big man averaged 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. The health of the Lakers' roster has become one of the most important issues for the team moving forward. Anthony Davis has never lacked the talent to succeed.

He has missed at least 20 games in five separate seasons. He has played in 56% of the Lakers' games since he joined the team prior to the 2019/2020 season.Dave McMenamin@mctenAnthony Davis told ESPN he plans to have a chip on his shoulder this season, channeling the same approach he brought to LA in 2019-20.
