It all comes down to health with him.
He needs to find a way to stay on the floor more consistently.
Maybe he needs better trainers.
AD is just fragile. He hasn't had been seriously injured freaky deaky stuff. Knee to the thigh, finger in the eye, finger jammed by ball, freak accidents.

Yep. He's never been seriously injured in his career. I think he's also a little bit of a hypochondriac. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.

Derrick Rose was simultaneously injury prone and a hypochondriac. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

How about the strained calf and groin just the past season? That wasn’t being fragile. Hopefully that groin will be 100% healed this fall. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
AD isn't a tough player at all. Similar to Pau though Pau had a stronger and more stable base. AD is more athletic but he FLAILS incessantly. Mad annoying.
I rather see AD in P&R action as the lob threat than him popping or trying to create his own offense off the bounce.
Now, if AD had Pau's basketball IQ, AD would likely be one of the best PFs of All Time. Think a more athletic Chris Webber:
IMHO, AD wastes a lot of his talent trying to be an on-ball scorer. Stick to passing over the D, setting hard screens and getting easy lob looks at the rim. That will save him a lot of energy on the offensive end which he could channel into becoming an elite rim protector and anchor which would result in him becoming a perennial DPOY candidate.
With Russ and LeBron creating 90% of the offense, what would help this team is if AD took more responsibility for anchoring the Defense. Can you imagine AD and Dwight grabbing 10-15 rebounds/game EACH AND averaging 2-4 BLOCKS/game EACH??? It just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the league. _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players.

Those are common injuries. Hopefully he'll get a trainer to strengthen his groin and calf muscles. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

In order to find the next Kcp/AC caliber defender in-house, AD’s gotta bring it on the help and interior defense. Our perimeter D of yesteryear doesn’t have the punch it had without the Brow certifying it. It begins and ends with you, BrowDie. _________________ Not familiar with the salary cap/CBA rules & how it impacts our Lakers?

I just want AD to be healthy for the playoffs. MVP and DPOY are meaningless. I consider them as consolation prizes given out by the league to scrubs who couldn't win the ring. _________________ LeGoat! LeMazing! LeGend!

Agreed. Alot easier to hound ballhandlers defensively if you have an elite rim protector backing you up... _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players.
Anthony Davis’s agency Klutch Sports has reportedly hired a trainer to help keep AD in proper condition to be available next season 👀
AD has also said on Twitch recently his injured groin now “feels good” and that the Lakers will be “ready for next year” 💪
(@LandonBuford)
I’m willing to bet this is the first time he’s done this…hopefully it’ll make a huge difference
They and he were too cheap to hire a trainer for him until just now?
No not cheap….he never had a trainer to work on his body the entire off season….balance, chore etc. injury prevention. Sure he had a trainer to work on his game but not focusing on his body.

Such misguided hate. Stop buying tickets, merchandise and putting money in the owners/investors pockets.
Stop blaming AD, Lonzo, Zion, etc.
The one common denominator is incompetent ownership and front office.
