Anthony Davis had his time in Los Angeles come to an end over the weekend when he was part of the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to Hollywood and the big man to Dallas.

Anthony Davis had 42 points and 23 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers used a huge first quarter from the All-Star center to build a 23-point lead before beating the Charlotte Hornets 112-107 on Monday night for their fourth straight win.

Ahead of last season's trade deadline, the Hornets acquired a future first-round pick from the Dallas Mavericks in a deal centered around PJ Washington. That pick is a top-two protected first rounder in 2027 that has suddenly become one of Charlotte's most valuable assets.
