Legendary NBA Coach Takes Unexpected Shot at Anthony Davis

Former Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl weighed in on the Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have not been the same team since their In-Season Tournament championship. Having lost nine of their last 12 games, the Lakers now reportedly have some locker room tension, per Shams Charania and Jovan Buha of The Athletic:

"Following their ninth loss in 12 games, the Los Angeles Lakers have hit a new nadir in their season, amplifying concerns about the direction of the season from both inside and outside the organization. There’s currently a deepening disconnect between Darvin Ham and the Lakers locker room, six sources with direct knowledge of the situation say, raising questions about the head coach’s standing," The Athletic reported. "The people spoke with The Athletic on condition of anonymity so that they could speak freely on the matter. Those sources have described that the disjointedness between the coach and team has stemmed from the extreme rotation and starting lineup adjustments recently from Ham, leading to a fluctuating rhythm for several players across the roster."

With this report surfacing on Thursday morning, former Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl took an unexpected shot at Anthony Davis, suggesting he is the problem - not Darvin Ham:

While Davis can be inconsistent at times, he has mostly been great for the Lakers this season, especially on the defensive end. This was a strange shot from Karl, and one that did not make much sense.
