The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Anthony Davis when they host the Washington Wizards on Sunday night. This comes as a blow for the side, who were led admirably by the big man before he injured his foot in their last match against the Denver Nuggets.
Despite his absence in the second half, the Lakers registered a comprehensive 126-108 win, with LeBron James and Thomas Bryant doing the bulk of the scoring.
According to Sports Illustrated, Davis has been ruled out, with the Lakers calling his injury “right foot soreness,” suggesting that there was no serious harm. Looking at the larger picture, this is a bit of relief as LA has been struggling to latch on to the momentum they seem to have and miss with each game.
Earlier, it was reported that Davis was slated to go through an MRI to diagnose the severity of his injury. On that note, here’s a look at the Lakers’ injury report ahead of their Sunday skirmish.
Los Angeles Lakers Injury Report Against The Washington Wizards: Anthony Davis Ruled Out, LeBron James Is Probable
As mentioned, the Lakers will be without the services of Anthony Davis, making Thomas Bryant an automatic choice to make the starting five. It remains to be seen if the former will return for their away clash against the Phoenix Suns.
On the game front, the center has been incredible for the Lakers averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists so far this season. The last time the Wizards played the Lakers, he notched up a whopping 55 points, 17 boards, 3 blocks, and an assist.
James has been listed as probable with left ankle soreness but will almost definitely suit up as the side looks to inch closer to the .500 mark. Also missing the clash are Wenyen Gabriel (shoulder) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (ankle). For the Wizards, Bradley Beal missed the last game against the Los Angeles Clippers but may return for Sunday’s matchup.
