Back when the Los Angeles Lakers traded for Anthony Davis, much was made about the jersey number situation involving The Brow and LeBron James. While Davis wore the number 23 in New Orleans, James had that number in L.A., and for some production-related purposes, James couldn’t switch his number to free that one up for his new teammate until after the 2019-20 season ended.
The duo kept their numbers the same during the 2020-21 campaign, but according to a new report by Tim Cato and Shams Charania of The Athletic, things are changing up a bit heading into next year. While Davis will continue to wear the number 3, James will switch to 6, which he wore during his tenure with the Miami Heat.
