Anthony Davis has only missed one game this season
Davis is already among the greatest players, being included in the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team.
Some fans even think that Davis should have been mentioned with the likes of Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
However, injuries have derailed Davis' career enough for him not to win any major individual awards, like an MVP or Defensive Player of the Year. He has not completed a season in his career, and LA Lakers fans are always frustrated when he suffers an injury.
Anthony Davis even earned the nicknames "Street Clothes" and "Half-Man, Half-a-Season" for his proneness to injuries. However, the eight-time All-Star should be proud of himself this season, as he has only missed a game and been playing through a minor injury for almost a month.
