BREAKING: Anthony Davis' Injury Status For Remainder Of Nuggets-Lakers Game
On Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Denver Nuggets in California.
During the game, eight-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis injured his foot.
According to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet, Davis has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's contest.
Trudell tweeted: "Anthony Davis will not return tonight due to a right foot injury."
He finished his night with ten points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 17 minutes of playing time.
In addition, he shot 4/7 from the field.
The former first-overall pick is in the middle of a fantastic season and came into the night averaging 28.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.2 blocks per contest in 24 games.
In their last game (a 122-118 loss to the Boston Celtics), Davis had 37 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
However, the Lakers have had a tough start to the season.
They are currently the 12th seed in the Western Conference with an 11-16 record in 27 games.
Over the last ten games, they have gone 5-5 and came into the night 6-7 in 13 games at home.
Davis is in his fourth season with the franchise.
In 2020, he helped them win the NBA Championship, but in 2021, they lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, and last season they missed the playoffs.
Following the matchup with the Nuggets, the Lakers will play their next game when they host the Washington Wizards on Sunday night in California.
