Davis recalled a touching incident that occurred in his home when he was informed of the likelihood of another extended absence from the season. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the Lakers player admitted to sobbing in his house closet, which concerned his 6-year-old daughter Nala.

“She whispers to my spouse, ‘Mommy, what is the matter with your father?'” Davis paused.

“She wants to embrace me but is nervous about it.” ‘That’s fine,’ my wife said.

“When I see her, I mentally tell her, ‘Don’t approach me with your hands.'” She approaches, swiftly embraces me, exits, reclines, and announces, “Mommy, I will be back shortly.” “I’ve had an idea.” Davis’ gloomy demeanor had already began to waver as he reverted to his fatherly attitude, prompting Nala to flee. He remained on the floor, however, to see Nala’s response upon her return, while covering his face with his palm. “I’m attempting to act at this moment,” the Lakers forward joked, laughing at the silliness of the situation.

Nala emerged a few moments later, placing a sheet of paper atop the stack of clothes next to him. While not everything is great for the Lakers right now owing to LeBron James’ continuing injury and their dangerous playoff position, Anthony Davis is doing much better than that low point.

His supporting cast has grown dramatically after his initial eight to ten-week schedule was cut in half. Because AD is not to blame for his injury problems, he is one of the worst illustrations of how unfair standards may be applied to athletes. Fortunately, he has a daughter who supports him regardless of his disability, as well as a great support system.
