Lakers fans were not happy with Barkley and Shaq for laughing at Davis’ injury.
Laughing at a head injury is a new low. https://t.co/GhzmwXsNy0

Laughing over a man possibly having a concussion but this is who y’all boost up. I can’t stand sports media anymore. https://t.co/OQk0cv96cG

Incredibly disappointed in both Shaq and Barkley. You’d think being former players that they’d empathize with a guy seemingly needing serious medical attention for an on-court injury that ANYONE would’ve sustained but…
Disgusted and disrespectful behavior all around. https://t.co/3JaUEMjAfO

Imagine NFL analysts doing this if Patrick Mahomes got a concussion in the playoffs. Literally laughing at him. This is disgusting. https://t.co/Lmf7VQe6oi

Respect for Shaq just went tremendously down.
This is an All-Time Great Center playing for YOUR Lakers and this is how you act?
Such a clown 🤡
