While others watching the game had a few jokes for Davis.
Dude from Arkansas just lost his front tooth after getting fouled on a dunk attempt and em face planting the floor!
It’s a shame he’ll has to wait a whole year to ask for his two from teeth— Kevin (@Hurricaneshype) January 15, 2022
One fan joked that because it's the New Year, Davis will have to wait an entire year to ask for his front teeth for Christmas.
just watched an Arkansas college basketball player fall on his face so hard he knocked a tooth out, then immediately go back into the game.
if I knocked a tooth out (it'd probably be in an embarrassing way, like dropping my phone on my face) I'd literally take a week off work— ⓐⓜⓢ (@annaree913) January 15, 2022
Another fan couldn't believe Davis just went right back into the game, saying if she lost a tooth, she would be too embarrassed to go back to work.
