Nevertheless, the versatile big man has found a way to stay in the public eye. After being replaced in the 2025 All-Star Game due to his injury, Davis is shifting his focus to a prank show called Foul Play with Anthony Davis.

In the debut episode, Davis, alongside his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate D’Angelo Russell, pulled off a hilarious prank on the Lakers star Jarred Vanderbilt. The two asked Vanderbilt about LeBron James’ status as the GOAT.

However, the punchline came when they surrounded Vanderbilt with a group of real goats, literally. The animals roamed freely; some even went over Vanderbilt’s body. The surprise and confusion on Vanderbilt’s face were priceless, and social media erupted with laughter at the unexpected twist.

Fans couldn’t help but express their joy at seeing Davis back in action, albeit in a completely different role. Some even expressed how they missed the big man’s presence on the court, especially since he was once a cornerstone for the team alongside LeBron James.

DeSean Jackson Reflects On Anthony Davis’ Trade

Former NFL star DeSean Jackson recently opened up about his conversation with NBA superstar Anthony Davis during his appearance on The Big Podcast. Jackson shared an intimate moment with the big man during a Sixers game.

“Honestly, I was crazy too. I was at the Sixers game, and I was talking to A.D. You could just tell in his face. He was like, yeah, they got me up outta there,” Jackson said.

Davis has been a mainstay with the Lakers since 2019. The pinnacle of that chapter came in 2020 when he and LeBron James led the Lakers to an NBA championship. Davis and the Lakers moved on, but the emotions tied to that chapter remain ever-present.
