Like LeBron James, Anthony Davis has decided against wearing a social justice message on his Lakers jersey. Following the lead of his All-Star teammate LeBron James, Lakers big man Anthony Davis said he will wear his last name on the back of his jersey.
Speaking to reporters Sunday in a conference call following the Lakers’ practice at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex outside Orlando, Davis said he chose to use his name. The NBA has provided 29 approved social justice slogans that athletes can wear on their jersey.
Davis stressed his support of the social justice initiatives the NBA has planned. Davis is averaging team highs of 26.7 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
