On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 118-104.

The Lakers have now announced an update on the All-Star forward.

Via The Lakers: "LAKERS MEDICAL UPDATE:

Lakers forward Anthony Davis underwent an MRI today that confirmed an abdominal muscle strain. The injury occurred in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s game at Philadelphia.

Davis will return to Los Angeles today and be re-evaluated in approximately one week."

11th seed here come the Lakers."
