During the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, December 2, Nick Kyrgios recently had a meeting with D’Angelo Russell.
Anthony Davis, a power forward, had an outstanding game as the Lakers defeated the Rockets 107-97. His season-long double-double of 17 points and 14 rebounds was accomplished as he put up a strong performance.
LeBron James, meanwhile, chipped in with 16 points and seven assists. Their combined effort was crucial in helping the Lakers, who now stand seventh in the Western Conference table, to victory (12-9).
One of the biggest names in attendance at the LA Lakers vs. Houston Rockets game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles was Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios had the opportunity to speak with D’Angelo Russell at halftime. He posted a picture of himself with the point guard on social media.
The Australian wrote in his post that D’Angelo Russell reached out to him even though he knew he was loyal to the Boston Celtics.
Although he loves basketball, Nick Kyrgios has said that he has “no regrets” about choosing to play tennis instead of basketball as a career.
In a social media Q&A session, a fan questioned the former World No. 13 if, given the chance to start over, he would consider pursuing a career in basketball rather than tennis.
In response, Kyrgios stated that although playing basketball would make him happy, he would not pursue it because his professional tennis career has allowed him to make his friends and family happy.
An examination of Nick Kyrgios’s 2023 campaign
Nick Kyrgios’s injury problems kept him out of the game for a significant portion of the 2023 season, and he only entered one tournament.
Kyrgios’ left knee required arthroscopic surgery at the beginning of the year. He was unable to compete in any of the four Grand Slam events or the majority of other tournaments due to the procedure and other injuries, with the Stuttgart Open being the only exception.
The 28-year-old’stripto Stuttgart came to an abrupt end when he lost 5-7, 3-6 to Wu Yibing in the opening round. The following week, he was also forced to withdraw from the Halle Open because of a persistent knee issue.
