Frank Vogel Reveals Anthony Davis’ Shocking State Prior to Blazers Blowout

Frank Vogel has revealed Anthony Davis’ horrible state before the Lakers were blown out by the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers have not looked very good so far this season. It is clear that there is something going on with the Lakers. They went into the season expected to be one of the best teams in the NBA. Now, after 10 games, they have not looked anywhere near the level that fans expected going into the season.

Russell Westbrook has played poorly and many are wondering if it is working out between him and the Lakers. But the season is still early and it is too soon to tell. But fans are expecting more going forward. One thing is clear, though. The Lakers luck with injuries has been horrible.

It was clear something was wrong early into the Lakers game when Anthony Davis left the game after only a few minutes.

As it turns out, it wasn’t an injury but rather a sickness.

Frank Vogel talked about what he saw from Anthony before the game. It sounded pretty bad on Davis’ side but he still wanted to give it a go. It was clear in the few minutes that he did play that something was off, though. He should be able to bounce back from this soon.

“He woke up this afternoon with a bit of a stomach bug,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “Came back in and said his thumb felt pretty good, good enough to play, then he went and threw up in the back. Still wanted to give it a go, but by the time tip-off came around he had already thrown up four times. He wanted to see if getting out on the floor would change it, but wasn’t able to go.”

The Lakers need to step up their play in a big way. Injuries are a part of every NBA season and team. The Lakers have been hit hard already this season but if they want to make it far in the Playoffs, they will need to learn how to deal with them.
