Lakers Share Injury Update on Anthony Davis
Under new head coach JJ Redick, the Los Angeles Lakers have found their stride, with Anthony Davis stepping up as a key player early in the 2024-25 season.
Davis has delivered outstanding performances, averaging 30.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game, showcasing his skills across the board.
These strong showings suggest this season could be one of Davis’s best yet.
Ahead of their away game against the Toronto Raptors, Lakers fans received positive news regarding Davis’s health.
Despite a recent injury scare against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he’s expected to play.
The Lakers say Anthony Davis (right hip soreness) is probable for tomorrow’s game at Toronto,” Jovan Buha of The Athletic posted on X.
As Davis managed to finish the game against Cleveland, his availability seems likely.
However, any mention of injury for Davis naturally raises concerns among Lakers supporters.
The Lakers, after a strong start under Redick, have hit a rough patch with back-to-back losses.
They missed an opportunity to win against the Phoenix Suns, with LeBron James having an off game.
Following that, they struggled against the Cavaliers, aside from a brief rally.
Davis’s dominance against opposing big men was challenged by Cleveland’s strong duo of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, highlighting the Lakers’ limited frontcourt depth.
The team is also awaiting the return of injured players Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Christian Koloko.
Their return would provide valuable support for Davis and reduce the current reliance on Jaxson Hayes.
