Anthony Davis got called for 6 fouls in the win last night vs the Rockets. This was only the 4th time in his career that he has fouled out, which includes 673 regular season games and 55 playoff games (728 total). This was also the first time he has fouled out as a Laker.
This stat really solidifies his case for being the best defensive player in the world.
AD has previously fouled out on:
2/21/2014 NOP at CHA
1/22/2018 NOP vs CHI
3/15/2018 NOP at SAS
11/19/2023 LAL vs HOU
And you know the zebras had a bad night when they foul out a player who hasn’t fouled out in 5 and a half years.
Lebron’s only fouled out 6-7 times, and he’s played 10 more years.
But LeBron only played defense in Miami. It is easier to avoid fouls when you aren’t actively defending. It is going to be easier to see him eventually fouling out in playoffs.
