Should Anthony Davis be named an All-Star this season?
The 2022-23 NBA season hasn’t been kind to Anthony Davis. His injuries have held him back. Prior to the Lakers’ game against the Knicks, Davis missed 20 games due to a foot injury.
He’s only played in 27 games this season. But whenever he’s on the floor, the Lakers have proven to be a tough team to beat due to his elite production on both ends. Davis is averaging 26.7 points, 12 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while shooting 58.4% from the field and 29.7% from beyond the arc.
The eight-time All-Star’s stats are enough to earn him a ticket to Utah for the All-Star Game this season. However, his reliability has been an issue, which could be the main reason for him not being named an All-Star reserve.
