Anthony Davis Injury
Will Anthony Davis Be Available for Game 6 Against the Warriors? Here's the Latest Injury Update.
Closing out a playoff series is a challenging task, and it might have become even more challenging for the Lakers. During a closeout game against the Warriors, Anthony Davis had to leave the game in the fourth quarter due to an inadvertent shot to the head from Kevon Looney, the Warriors center.
So, what does this mean for Davis and the Lakers? Here is the latest update on his injury and status.
Anthony Davis was hit on the side of his head by an inadvertent elbow from Looney while battling for position inside. The Lakers pulled him out of the game, assessed his condition, and ultimately ruled him out of Game 5 due to a head injury.
According to Chris Haynes from Turner Sports, Davis was being evaluated at Chase Center, with a potential concussion diagnosis looming. Haynes reported that Davis was taken to the locker room in a wheelchair following the evaluation. In a subsequent report, Haynes stated that Davis "appears to have avoided a concussion and is doing better now," which is great news for both Davis and the Lakers.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham revealed that he spoke with Davis, who he said "seems to be doing really good already." The Lakers and Davis are hopeful that he will be able to play in Game 6, but his availability remains uncertain at this time.
