Dallas Mavericks forward aired his new prank show, Foul Play with Anthony Davis, following All-Star Weekend’s NBA game. The show aired on TBS, and it shows the playful side of Davis in this docu-style unscripted comedy series. In the first episode, a lot of the guests were Davis’ former teammates as well as other Los Angeles professional athletes. It is to note that the show was filmed prior to the NBA blockbuster trade that sent Davis to Dallas and Luka Doncic to replace Davis on the Lakers roster.
Besides Davis, the first episode showed two other recently traded professional athletes: Brooklyn Nets’ D’Angelo Russell and the Los Angeles Clippers’ Terance Mann. Russell was traded to the Nets after previously playing for the Lakers. In return, the Lakers received Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. Mann was traded alongside Bones Hyland to the Atlanta Hawks for Bogdan Bogdanovic and picks.
The traded players were able to have a little fun despite their recent switch-ups. They were joined alongside Lakers Jarred Vanderbilt, Los Angeles Sparks Cameron Brink, Dodgers Mookie Betts and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Davis had some expert help on his side as he had some help planning the pranks with Impractical Jokers Brian Quinn. Russell, Betts, and Brinks also were on Davis’ side as they teamed up against Vanderbilt, Mann and Roberts.
Fans are already taking to the show and have reacted on X about how hilarious it is.
