Anthony Davis’ heartwarming answer when asked what he’ll buy if Lakers win In-Season Tournament

In the event that the Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament, Anthony Davis is well-aware of what he will do with his compensation. With Christmas drawing near, Davis disclosed that he planned to utilize his earnings to purchаse thoughtful presents for his spouse and children.

In addition to the $200,000 awarded to players who advance to the championship game, the winning team’s players receive a whopping $500,000. That kind of money might buy a lot of nice gifts.

It’s safe to assume that Davis doesn’t need the prize money to buy lovely presents for his family, given the length of his Lakers contract, but it certainly couldn’t hurt. However, Davis must first assist in ensuring that the Lakers truly win the championship before he can spend the winnings. To do that, they require two more victories.

The Lakers advanced to the tournament semifinals this week after defeating the Phoenix Suns 106-103 earlier in the week. Thus far in tournament play, they have a perfect 5-0 record.

To advance to the title game, which takes place on Saturday night, Los Angeles will now play the New Orleans Pelicans in Las Vegas on Thursday night. The winner of the other semifinal match between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers will play the winner of the match between the Lakers and Pelicans.

Next week, the Lakers will resume their regular season schedule when the tournament concludes. They will play two games in a row at Frost Bank Center against the San Antonio Spurs after traveling to Texas on Tuesday night to play Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

Following that, they’ll play host to the New York Knicks before going on the road to play a few games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Chicago Bulls before coming back to Los Angeles to play host to the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day.

The Lakers and Celtics will play two games together this season, starting with that one. In addition, the two enduring foes will face bаttle in Boston on February 1.
