Anthony Davis was trolled by his wife after getting bailed out by Rui Hachimura.
During Saturday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Lakers All-Star Davis nearly clanked away a victory while on the road.
With 12.1 seconds remaining and the Lakers holding a narrow 101-99 lead, Davis missed two critical late-game free throws.
Fortunately for the Lakers, Davis’ fellow frontcourt mate Hachimura secured a pivotal offensive rebound, allowing Austin Reaves to sink two subsequent free throws, sealing a 103-99 victory.
While fans and analysts were quick to comment on Davis’s missed opportunities, the most pointed critique came from his wife, Marlen.
In a post-game revelation, Davis shared, “My wife even called me and said, ‘Rui saved you.’ So that made me feel worse.”
Davis later added, “I definitely appreciate Rui with the tip-out.”
Not ideal given that Davis has gone 6-for-16 shooting on clutch free throws this season.
Overall Davis is having a magnificent season, averaging 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.4 ᴀssists per game along with 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals.
