    He's playing
    They all are available
    Lakers say Anthony Davis (left plantar fasciitis), Rui Hachimura (illness) and Jaxson Hayes (left knee soreness) will be available tonight vs. 76ers.

    BEAST! I know the plan was to make him the hub, focal point offensively and put him in position to achieve whatever personal milestones he wanted this year. I did not expect that to result in him being the best offensive player in the league.


    On the foot

    He needs to just wear goggles already. If Kareem and Worthy could do it, he can.

    Yup, he really needs to consider wearing goggles. He gets hit in the face, poked in the eye... IDK, it could help.

    Kobe used to get fined by that d*** less piece of s*** Stu Jackson for elbows like this. Maybe the NBA needs to start monitoring this.

    Gotta get those Cap/Worthy goggles AD. This is happening too often. And we can't afford to lose you.

    Hope he's alright. I do think it's about time to some protective eyewear. If he doesn't want to feel like he's about to go swimming, these seem much less distracting

    Plus, Suns gave him these. Suns at the time had one of the best medical staffs in the past 20 years.


    One the play itself, damn impressive block, making it after getting whacked in the eye.

    This one wasn't bad either




    Impressive work from the coaching staff. Fully implementing the AD as our #1 option era.

    I remember watching the replay when Poetl got him in the eye and if you squinted it looked something like retaliation for AD catching him with a hard elbow to the head earlier while he was going up for a shot close in. There was a difference though as AD was completely self contained, nothing outside his shoulders and Poetl's head was just in too close. But Poetl's left arm and hand was away from his body on a collision course with AD's face and when it hit almost looked like he gave it an extra tug down. Doubt he knew he got his eye though.

    Definitely that eyewear above would be a lot less intrusive than the Kareem style goggles.

    Yep, goggles should be in order. And a center like Valančiūnas as a bodyguard. Wished Adams was on the market.

    I'm with Slick .... the two Maxes for Jonas come December 15 .... move number one. And I bet they like what they get when those guys start playing away from the pressure here. They both have a lot of upside considering their age and physical abilities, with the base level where their skills are now.

    he was signed to be traded. i think he knew it, and they knew it. might just be making sure he doesn't get hurt.

    I definitely think valanciunas gets moved and we've got a good shot there.

    Man, it’s going to really suck and he’s going to really regret it if he continues to get hit and one of these times he loses vision or something

    No kidding. It's the scratched eyeballs. How many more does he want to risk. Seriously what Amare is wearing here, and Reggie Jackson too have to be a lot better than looking through Kareem type goggles and they would certainly be better than nothing. You could even gerry rig some small black foam cushioning on the bottom for more comfort and to get them a bit further from his skin for better airflow and less fogging. There's anti fog treatments too. He wears glasses sometimes .... how much different are these?

    He clearly just doesn’t want to look silly or whatever. Imagine preferring to have your eye look like this multiple times a season to just wearing some glasses. Maybe he’s being told he can’t by his business team, they would cover the brow :D
