When you think of the Los Angeles Lakers, rock legends like Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ bassist Flea might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Flea is a die-hard Lakers fan and has been for years. And now, he’s got some advice for the team’s doctors regarding their star player Anthony Davis, as he revealed in Twitter.
Anthony Davis recently suffered a scare during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he appeared to have sprained his ankle in the third quarter. The incident had Lakers fans holding their breath, as they watched Davis collapse in pain after landing awkwardly on a teammate’s foot. However, Davis managed to stay in the game and play a crucial role in securing the victory for his team.
After witnessing the incident, Flea took to Twitter to share his thoughts on how the Lakers should manage Davis’ health. In a nutshell, he suggested that if the doctors find it risky for Davis to play back-to-back games, they should consider having him rest during the game against Utah and play against the Clippers. Flea believes this approach would be best for the team and, of course, for the well-being of Davis.
The bassist’s tweet read:
“Dear Los Angeles Lakers doctors, if it is unhealthy for AD to play in back-to-backs, please have him rest against Utah and play against the Clippers. Thank you. Sincerely, your friend Flea.”
Flea’s concern for Anthony Davis is genuine and reflects the sentiment of many fans who worry about the health of their favorite players. While the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the Lakers’ doctors and coaching staff, Flea’s input shows that even rock legends can be deeply passionate about their favorite sports teams.
The musician’s advice serves as a reminder that the health of athletes should always be a top priority. As fans, we can only hope that the Lakers’ management team will carefully consider the well-being of their star player, ensuring that Anthony Davis continues to shine on the court for years to come. Rock on, Flea, and let’s hope the Lakers keep listening to your sage advice.
Dear @lakers doctors, if it is unhealthy for AD to play in back to backs, please have him rest against Utah and play against the clippers. Thank you. Sincerely, your friend Flea
