Sup pals. AD Sucks.

Luka is the better player clearly but as far as health concerns go, I think you guys should look a little closer at the stats. 

Comparing those 2 through all games played up through last season since their starting year, only counting regular season. 

Anthony Davis
13 seasons 
787 games played
Avg Games played per Season: 61

Luka Doncic
7 seasons
450 games played
Avg Games played per Season: 64
 

Other notes:
Last 2 seasons, Anthony Davis has played more games than Luka. 

Comparing AD's first 7 seasons vs LDs first 7 seasons only and these are ADs stats

466 games played
Avg 67 games a season

AD has 3 seasons of most played games in a season over Luka. 76, 75, 75 vs luka: 72, 70, 66. 


I think the one thing that should stand out here is that Luka is not looking to be long in the tooth and his trajectory is he will miss even more games than AD in his next 6 seasons. 

Not justifying the trade by any means, but I hear a lot of talk about how unhealthy AD is. Want to make sure people are comparing apples to apples.

All of this is correct, but also cherry picked a bit. Davis 2023-24 season was a huge outlier for him with 73 games played. 5 season before that he played 62 games most with a 36 and 40 games season and the season after that he played 52. Luka is basically the other way around. Last season was an outlier for him and that calf strain was his only serious injury up to now. Other than last season, he was over 60 games in all other seasons.

Not sure why you think it is given Luka will be more and more injured. While his playstyle can lead to constant minor contact injuries, I don't see it as something leading to major ones. His game relies on skill, not athleticism.
