Saturday’s loss to North Carolina was a bitter pill for Duke as Mike Krzyzewski’s Cameron Indoor Stadium farewell party was spoiled by the rival Tar Heels. In the immediate aftermath, Duke assistant Chris Carrawell was in no mood for postgame pleasantries. Carrawell, who played at Duke from 1996-2000, walked through the handshake line alongside the scorer’s table. When North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis extended his hand, Carrawell passed. Davis, of course, took notice. He told reporters… Source link

Five months ago, South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer was given the unenviable task of explaining why the Georgia defense had just steamrolled the Gamecocks’ offense. He gave a number of reasons, but singled out only one player, “a defensive lineman that weighs 340 pounds and runs better than everybody on this call.” The player was Jordan Davis, and as it turns out, Beamer may have been underselling the mammoth nose tackle’s speed. On Saturday, Davis threw down one of the wildest… Source link

Los Angeles Lakers team doctors cleared Anthony Davis to return for their critical Game 6 matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night. That decision, however, seems to have been premature. Davis lasted less than six minutes at the Staples Center on Thursday before he had to leave the game.

Davis, according to Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, didn’t actually injure his groin any… Source link

PHOENIX — While the Los Angeles Lakers were getting crushed coming out of a timeout in Game 5 against Phoenix, Anthony Davis looked over to an individual sitting courtside and nodded his head up and down to suggest everything is going to be OK. He flashed six fingers, as in a Game 6 return. Without Davis on the court, the Suns unleashed a lethal blitz that resulted in a 115-85 blowout victory to take a commanding 3-2 series lead. The injured Davis took to the court hours before Game 5 against… Source link
