NBA fans made so many jokes about Anthony Davis disappearing in Nuggets players celebrating Jamal Murray's buzzer-beater
This hurts.
Anthony Davis was the player guarding Jamal Murray as the clock ticked down in Game 2 of the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets, and the Lakers star watched as Murray nailed a stunning game-winning buzzer-beater.
Davis wasn’t happy about it after the game, but it’s the moment after the shot that we’re focused on here. You can see AD getting completely caught in the Nuggets’ celebration with Murray, and it’s rough, although a classy Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was there to make sure Davis was OK.
NBA fans made jokes, of course. Here’s a sampling from X (formerly Twitter):
