While Westbrook struggled with form all season, Davis was in the midst of an injury crisis. He has missed out on a lot of games this season and that has affected the team.

Furthermore, he gave some major updates regarding the future of himself and LeBron James. He said, “I think us two can. We’ve shown that we can. I don’t know that’s something we just have to reevaluate in the offseason, upstairs, me and him talking about this season and what we would like to see next season and kind of just figure it out.”

Although Westbrook has faced the wrath of the media and the fans all season, Davis had some kind words for him. He said, “Russ isn’t a one-man show. He can’t beat teams by himself.”
