Anthony Davis (born March 11, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is both a power forward and a center. The following article summarizes the Laker’s star’s injury situation.
What exactly is Anthony Davis’s injury?
Injury: Foot
Status: Questionable
UPDATE (Mar. 24):
Against Suns, Anthony Davis played all 38 minutes and finished with 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 FT), 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.
According to Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com, Davis has been listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Thunder.
Because Davis is always listed as probable prior to games and almost always plays, there is no cause for alarm. Without LeBron James (foot), the Lakers’ offense will likely continue to revolve around the big man for the foreseeable future.
UPDATE (Mar. 22):
Anthony Davis is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Suns due to a right foot stress injury.
UPDATE (Mar. 19):
Anthony Davis played 37 minutes of Friday’s 111-110 loss to Dallas and scored 26 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3P, 8-11 FT). He got 10 boards, gave out 3 assists, and blocked 1 shot.
Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 34.5 minutes per game, 26.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 2.7 assists.
UPDATE (Mar. 17):
Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com says that Davis is likely to play against the Mavericks on Friday, even though he hurt his foot.
Davis took Wednesday off to rest a foot injury that had been bothering him for a while, and it seems to have helped.
The big man is expected to play again on Friday, which would be a huge help for a Los Angeles team that is already without LeBron James (foot).
Davis has played six games in March. On average, he has scored 27.8 points, grabbed 12.8 rebounds, given 3.2 assists, and blocked 1.8 shots per game.
UPDATE (Mar. 15):
Coach Darvin Ham, as reported by Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register, said that Davis is not experiencing any pain, but he will still sit out Wednesday’s game against the Rockets due to a “active” foot injury.
Davis will miss Wednesday’s second game of a back-to-back for the Lakers after playing in the last six games with a foot injury. But he’ll probably play again this Friday against the Mavericks.
UPDATE (Mar. 14):
Anthony Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.
UPDATE (Mar. 12):
Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports that despite a right foot stress injury, Anthony Davis is listed as probable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.
There is still little cause for concern regarding the star big man missing Sunday’s game, as he has played in four consecutive games and 15 of the last 16.
UPDATE (Mar. 10):
Anthony Davis (foot) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Raptors.
UPDATE (Mar. 05):
It is also anticipated that Davis (foot) will participate Sunday’s game. Despite playing on an injured right foot, AD scored 38 points on Friday against the Timberwolves and has missed only one game since January 30.
UPDATE (Mar. 03):
Anthony Davis will be back in the lineup on Friday when the team begins a five-game homestand against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
