Anthony Davis' Injury Status for Lakers vs Grizzlies Game 6 Revealed

Anthony Davis may have a hurt hip, but he's willing to lay it all on the line.

Anthony Davis has a hurt hip, but he's willing to do whatever it takes for Game 6. The Los Angeles Lakers have officially listed Anthony Davis as probable with a right foot stress injury.

Davis was an absolute monster in Game 5, putting up 31 points and 19 rebounds on 61% shooting. In the first three games of the series, wins and losses were determined by how well Anthony Davis performed. That trend changed in Games 4 and 5, where the Lakers won Game 4 despite a poor Davis performance and lost Game 5 despite a great one.

If there's one word that's going to describe the Lakers' mindset against the Grizzlies in Game 6, it's going to be desperate. Yes, the Lakers have the 3-2 advantage against the Grizzlies, but they absolutely do not want to go back to Memphis. Davis told the media that he's willing to play up to 48 minutes in Game 6 to secure a win, and that's the level of desperation that the Grizzlies should expect.

Anthony Davis said he’s ready to play “42, 45, 48 minutes” to win Game 6.

If the Memphis Grizzlies can somehow find a way to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 on the road, then all bets are off for Game 7. There's no telling what to expect in such an incredibly back-and-forth series.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers face off in Game 6 tonight at 10:30 ET.
