Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 4.12 (Sport1)
Danny Avdia remained on the low side of the swing tonight as well (between Sunday and Monday).
The forward of the Washington Wizards recorded a single-digit amount of points in the 119:130 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, when this is the fifth time in six games that he has not reached double figures, and before that he had a seven-game streak in which he scored at least 10 points in six of them.
This time the Israeli did not get stuck at 0 as in the loss to Charlotte, but he missed seven of his eight shots from beyond the arc and provided 7 points.
"The Wizards are in a slump in the field of shooting - especially Danny Avdia," wrote the "Athletic" after Washington's sixth loss in seven games.
Kyle Kuzma was asked about Avdia going 0/5 for three in the first quarter, saying: "First of all, there's a reason why they let you go. Second, you have to play with confidence. He works harder than anyone in the gym, scores a lot in practice, and that's fine, But it illustrates how teams are keeping him this season. Everyone has games in which he scores more or less, and he has to crack it. The best thing in our lives is that there is always another game."
Regarding the Wizards' bad performance, Kuzma added: "We are not playing correctly right now. We need to go back to what we did that led us to five wins in six games, to what we did well. We were already in a good time. We need to play hard. There are guys here who are a little down, and we hope Let them get out of this and get confidence again. The situation in the dressing room? We've lost six of the last seven, it's not fun."

His productivity in the Israeli defense was also criticized in the form of a sting on Twitter, where they tweeted a photo of Zion Williamson during his time in high school against a particularly short guard, under the caption "Danny Avdia tries to guard LeBron."
James finished with 29 points for the Lakers.

At least from the words of Wizards star Bradley Beal, Avdia can draw encouragement.
Before tonight's game, what Bill said on the podcast of former Washington player Gilbert Arenas was published, when he explained why he chose to sign a new contract this summer and not move to a stronger team: "I didn't feel like there was a team on the market where I could fight for the championship," Bill said, "I like The young nucleus that is developing here. Hachimura is really good and had an amazing summer, Danny will continue to improve and Corey Kispert is a great shooter and a professional."
