Davis is in his 11th season in the NBA (his fourth with the Lakers) and is one of the best big men of all time.   

This season, the former Kentucky star averaged a sensational 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks per contest while shooting 56.3% from the field.  

The Lakers are coming off a season where they went 33-49 and missed the playoffs, but Davis helped lead them to the NBA Championship in 2020. 

This year, they finished the regular season with a 43-39 record, which has them as the seventh seed in the Western Conference. 

Despite the disappointing loss on Wednesday, the Lakers are still headed home for Games 3 and 4 with the series tied. 

They are a very solid 23-18 in the 41 games they have hosted on their home floor.
