Is the star big man buckling down for the season’s stretch run?
Tonight at home against the New Orleans Pelicans, your 26-32 Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to make up for a surprisingly lackluster road loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Powered by 23 made triples (!), Portland won going away, 127-115, but the final margin doesn’t accurately reflect how darn out of reach the game really was for much of the night. All the trouble started in earnest when LA head coach Darvin Ham benched Davis for the final three minutes of the game’s opening quarter, after which the Trail Blazers promptly went on an epic run.
Star Los Angeles center Anthony Davis got proactive — and deleted his Instagram account, as Clutch Points reveals.
Davis just missed out on notching an extremely rare 20-20 double-double, with 19 points on 8-of-18 shooting from the floor and 20 boards (he also blocked three shots and recorded an assist, to boot).
So why the rush to ditch his Instagram? He still has his Twitter account, in case you were wondering. Maybe he just wanted to cut down on outside noise and focus on the task at hand, which should be returning to the postseason with a total revamped post-deadline LA rotation.
Will a Lakers winning streak convince AD to reactivate his Instagram? Does whether or not he does so actually have any kind of impact on our lives? Should we care at all? No! I say let the man live, and if he needs to take a bit of a break from our navel-gazing culture to do so, and to dial in on hoops down the season’s home stretch, then so be it.
