The outlook seemed bleak for the Lakers after Anthony Davis' foot injury Friday night, but Thomas Bryant's strong play helped secure a win over the Wizards.
A day or two after he underwent surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in January 2021,was ready to start his journey back to the basketball court. To his doctors’ dismay, he was a very impatient patient.
Bryant wears a bracelet featuring the words “Never Give Up.” He said it’s the favorite catchphrase of his father, Edward. It’s also the philosophy that guided Bryant through his knee rehabilitation and again through thumb surgery in October, a few months after theHe lived the motto on that bracelet again on Friday.
“He came out and had a really, really huge effort against a two-time MVP [Nikola Jokic]. Really helped us on both sides of the basketball, just his energy and activity. His no-quit mentality. We needed that. He was a huge burst for us.” But performances like Bryant’s offer proof that nothing is impossible — and that giving up should never be an option.
Bryant said he didn’t know Davis was injured. He found out when he was told he’d start the third quarter. “My mindset was just, bring this energy, bring what I can to this team and hopefully it works out the right way, and it did,” he said.
