Lakers Injury Report: Anthony Davis Updates Ankle Status After Chicago Loss

LA can't afford to have Davis miss any time.

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped another game on Wednesday, this time at the hands of the Chicago Bulls. It was another poor start for LA, and they weren't able to overcome their issues.

The Lakers have lost a few games in a row, and the pressure is starting to mount on them to stay afloat in the standings. Star big man Anthony Davis has been dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered last week, but he is doing what he can to stay on the floor.

After the game against the Bulls, Davis gave an update on his ankle injury. LA can't afford to have Davis miss any time, and he knows that he will need to play through it all.

The Lakers' problems would only increase tenfold if Davis is forced to miss any time. He is the defensive anchor for this team, so they need him out on the floor as often as possible. 

LA is amid a tough stretch schedule-wise, so Davis will have to fight through any pain he has. He has been dealing with different minor injuries all season long, so it's nothing new to him.

The team has a back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight on the road, and there is a chance Davis will sit out. The team has been hesitant to play certain guys on the second night of a back-to-back, but with LA needing a win, maybe they play him.

LA needs to start picking up wins, if anything to avoid having to play catchup down the stretch of the season again. This team has shown signs of brilliance, but the biggest issue for them has been consistency.
