Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis took time off the basketball court and stepped into the boxing ring with Jalen Walker.

In a clip from June 2023 that was reposted by Walker and Top Rank on Saturday, the Lakers big man was sparring with the undefeated boxer.

Wearing the Lakers’ purple and gold with a grey sweater, Davis laughed in his corner before trailing the much smaller Walker around the ring. In the short montage, Davis seemingly struggled to land a punch despite his far superior reach.

The 5-foot-8 Walker did not throw punches but danced around the 6-foot-10 hoops star while wearing his headgear.

Skywalker is gearing up to face Alejandro Guerrero on April 13. Walker has won four straight since his Angel Contreras in April 2021.

Davis has only missed four games this season and is averaging 24.4 points and 12.4 boards

Davis has been present for most of this season, only missing four games so far for the Lakers.

The former No. 1 pick is averaging 24.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 55.5 percent from the field. The Lakers hold a 38-32 record, sitting ninth in the Western Conference.

Davis is the Lakers’ leader in rebounds and blocks this season, while LeBron James leads in points, assists, and steals.

They have 12 games left in the regular season and will likely compete in the Play-in Tournament come April. Joining them in the play-in picture are fellow California teams Golden State at tenth and Sacramento at eighth.

The highly-favored Phoenix Suns have also struggled to find their footing and sit in the seventh seed.
