Los Angeles Lakers Rumors: DeMarcus Cousins could leave without making an appearance, LA's pursuit of Andre Iguodala hits a snag and more

Anthony Davis is open to playing limited minutes at the five

Anthony Davis is looking forward to helping the Lakers compete for a title

The Los Angeles Lakers recently completed the signing of Dwight Howard, although concerns remain over the team's options at center. DeMarcus Cousins is sidelined indefinitely, while JaVale McGee has struggled when tasked with playing a larger role.

Due to this, Anthony Davis has faced constant questions as to whether he will play at the five, and the 26-year-old revealed to Yahoo Sports that it is something that he is open to:

I think having JaVale and having DeMarcus before he got hurt and now having Dwight takes pressure off of me and allows me to play and withstand an 82-game season and going into the playoffs. But obviously, if we have to and we’re playing a big lineup where I’m at the five, then I’m willing to do it.

During his final season in New Orleans, Davis spent much of his time playing power forward, averaging 25.9 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.
