Anthony Davis admitted he was just like everybody else upon hearing the news that he had been traded from the Los Angeles Lakers and that he was “shocked” over his blockbuster deal to the Dallas Mavericks.

Davis wasn’t even with his then-Los Angeles teammates at the time of the trade. He actually just finished watching the Lakers upset the Knicks in New York on television.

Back in Los Angeles, Davis received a call from Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and head coach JJ Redick and was informed that he was being traded in a deal that included Luka Doncic.

“I had just sent the team a text about congratulations on the win against the Knicks, big win, and then looking forward to Tuesday’s game against the Clippers, as far as standing purposes. And then, found out like an hour later I was no longer with the team. I was in shock, obviously. Had no idea that it was happening.

“But, I mean, now I’m kind of over it, and just kind of getting ready to play with Dallas.”
