In Washington, they still haven't calmed down from the controversial moment in yesterday's game against the Lakers, in which LeBron James elbowed Danny Abadia's face. As you may remember, LeBron hit Avdia during a penetration attempt, with a brutal and undoubtedly intentional blow, which caused the Israeli forward to leave the game and not return to the second half.
According to the Wizards' latest update, Avdia is doubtful for tonight's game against Portland as he is still suffering from a migraine, reminiscent of the blow he received from LeBron. Avdia's fitness will be checked once more before the game, but even two days after the meeting with LeBron and the Lakers, he still hasn't fully recovered.
Although the mainstream American media did not comment extensively on the move in question, Washington has still not calmed down, and refuses to accept the judges' decision not to send James away.
In the "Locked On Wizards" podcast, they defined LeBron's behavior as "violent and unnecessary", and insisted that he should have been removed.
"LeBron acted as if there was a bounty on Danny's head," they said. "It's ridiculous that the referees even had to check it on repeat. At first they said it was a normal foul, it just doesn't make sense. It's ridiculous that he got away with it without being punished."

According to them, "The referees should not be blamed for the loss, but there is no doubt that LeBron should have been removed. He had no reason to hurt Danny in this way, but we know how things work in this league - LeBron is the face of the NBA, and he gets the treatment This is from referees. In any case, it was really unnecessary. LeBron knows that it is impossible to continue playing after such an injury, and understands the physical damage that may be caused by a strong blow to the head in the long term. We know it from football, these injuries can be difficult. We can only hope that Danny He will recover as soon as possible."
