In the NBA world, there has seldom been a player whose playing style or choices have rarely been questioned. Norman Powell has largely ignored the noise and established his presence as one of the LA Clippers’ lead scorers this season amid Kawhi Leonard’s injury absence. Unfortunately, as his recent choices elevated his own troubles with injury, so did the criticism from the basketball community. And recently, he chose to respond to one detractor.
The official X account of Lakers Daily recently highlighted a screenshot from an Instagram chat an unknown individual had with the Clippers star. Though it’s unclear who initiated the exchange, Lakers Daily may have had a role. The critic wrote, “Was it worth rushing the injury? I know playing the Lakers is like the nba finals for you but look what happened (shrug emoji)”.
2 hours and 23 minutes later, Powell replied, “Brotha I didn’t rush anything to play the lakers (laughing emoji). Think the Lakers mean that much lol totally unrelated to what I was out with before. But hey you and everyone else knows more than me”.
