Davis described a heartwarming event that took place in his home after he was notified of the probability of another extended absence from the season. Davis was advised that he would likely miss another portion of the season. The Lakers player reportedly admitted to crying in his home’s closet, which caused concern for his daughter Nala, who is six years old, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

“She leans over and whispers to my spouse, ‘Mommy, what is the matter with your father?’” Davis took a stop.

“She really wants to hug me, but she is nervous about doing so.” My wife’s response was, “That’s fine.”

When I see her, I immediately tell myself to mentally convey to her, “Don’t come near me with your hands.” She walks up to me, quickly gives me a hug, then quickly walks away, reclines, and says, “Mommy, I will be back shortly.” “I’ve had a brilliant idea.” Nala was forced to depart when she noticed that Davis’s normally grim demeanor was beginning to soften and he was assuming a more paternal role. However, he did not get up from the floor and instead covered his face with his palm so that he could watch Nala’s reaction when she came back. The Lakers forward cracked a joke about how ridiculous the circumstance was, laughing at himself as he said, “I’m attempting to act at this moment.”
