Lakers’ Davis disputes James’ suspension: ‘Guys get hit in the face all the time’

LeBron James received a one-game suspension for his involvement in the Los Angeles Lakers–Detroit Pistons altercation on Sunday, one game less than Isaiah Stewart.

But even so, teammate and fellow All-Star Anthony Davis is having trouble understanding why James was suspended at all — especially given the NBA’s explanation.

“I was surprised. I mean, I didn’t think he would get suspended. I don’t think anyone thought he was going to be suspended, to be honest. It was an accident. I mean, he accidentally hit (Stewart) in the face,” said Davis following Tuesday’s 106-100 loss to the New York Knicks with James absent.

“I guess the report came out that his hit to the face caused an incident, which is weird because he can’t control how a guy’s gonna react. I mean guys get hit the face all the time, and we’re saying that caused the incident. I get hit in my face probably more than anyone, and if I go off and do all that, the other guy who hit me in the face is gonna get suspended as well? It was strange. But there’s nothing we can do about it.”

James was suspended for “for recklessly hitting Stewart in the face and initiating an on-court altercation,” the NBA said, while Stewart was suspended for “escalating an on-court altercation by repeatedly and aggressively pursuing James in an unsportsmanlike manner.”

It was only the second time James had been ejected in his 19-season career, and only the first time he received a suspension.

After the game Sunday, before suspensions were handed out, Davis was already defending his co-star.

“Everyone in the league knows Bron’s not a dirty guy, as soon as he hit Stewart he looked back and said ‘oh my bad,'” he said after the 121-116 win.

The Lakers play the Pistons in a rematch Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET on Sportsnet ONE. Both James and Stewart will be done serving their suspensions by then.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release official January inflation data on February 5. “Higher prices of fuel and meat, as well as increased Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) power rates and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco, contributed to upward price pressures during the month,” Diokno said. Local oil companies hiked fuel prices three times this month. Price incr...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs. Abnormal discharge When the disease starts to develop in the cervix, the uterine divider cells begin to loosen hence a watery discharge. Pain or bleeding Cervical tumor may develop on the cervix’s dividers which can dry out and eventually burst, hence distress and rectal or bladder bleeding. ...
