The Los Angeles Lakers started the 2021-22 NBA season with a 0-2 record losing to the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns. In addition, the team were in disarray during their game against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center.
During the second quarter, a timeout was called by the Lakers as the Suns were making a run and leading by 8, 49-41. During the huddle, Lakers’ big men Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard were seen having an altercation on the bench.
Lakers legend Magic Johnson called out the incident on Twitter. The four-time NBA champion seemed disappointed with the both players and pointed out that it was the first time in Lakers history that something like that happened.
Dwight Howard and AD got into a physical altercation on the bench…in my 42 years of being associated with the Lakers organization, I’ve never seen something like that smh
Johnson added that the team were having a team issue and basketball issue.
Good news for the Lakers’ fans though, Howard and Davis were already okay. Howard said during the post game interview that he and Davis squashed their spat on the sideline right after it happened.
