After the Philadelphia 76ers finished their morning shootaround, Paul Reed took a shot at Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis.
Reed said Davis is a “big flopper.”
“He’s a big flopper,” Reed said about Davis. “So make sure I don’t get in foul trouble early. I can’t be too aggressive with him. He’s gonna be flailing, so I gotta make sure I stay out of foul trouble.”
The Lakers take on the Sixers tonight in Philadelphia. Davis, who is averaging 22.1 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.9 blocks on the season, now has more motivation to have a big game.
