Lakers News: Anthony Davis Achieves Shocking Personal Record In Year 11

In Sunday's 124-108 season finale victory against his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers superstar center Anthony Davis broke a personal record.

Sunday's game marked Davis's 76th contest in the 2023-24 season, the most he's played throughout his 11-year career.

Davis's goal ahead of the year was to play in all 82 games. Even though he didn't reach that goal, coming up six games short in today's NBA is a huge accomplishment. Davis was a menace every time he stepped onto the court, averaging 24.7 points per game on 55.6% from the field, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 35.5 minutes of action.

Davis's previous record was 75 games, which he hit in back-to-back seasons in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, while still in New Orleans. Davis has been ridiculed and chastised for his lack of time on the court. Fans all over social media even laughed at him for saying his goal was to play all 82 games. Not only did he play 76 contests, but he also played through nagging injuries he suffered this season. And guess what? The 31-year-old suffered a minor injury on Sunday, but he will be out there on Tuesday to play-in tournament for the seventh seed. He is much tougher than people credit him; however, casuals are lazy and instead call him 'soft' or 'street clothes.'

The hate and bashing will continue to come his way, but that's okay. Davis will get back up and be there for his team when needed.

The nine-time All-Star will look to establish his dominance once again this postseason.
