After suffering a scary head injury in Game 5 vs. the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is being listed as probable for Game 6. Davis is doing much better after taking a shot to the head that forced him to exit Game 5 and not return. Lakers head coach Darvin Ham told the media that Davis did not need to enter the NBA's concussion protocol, and is doing much better overall.

Perhaps the biggest sign that Davis's head injury is not a major concern, is that it's not even what the Lakers have listed on the injury report. Having listed Davis as probable on the injury report for each game of this series with a right foot stress injury, the Lakers are sticking with that same listing for Game 6. There is no new injury report listing for Davis that is related to his head, which is great news.

It goes without saying, but this is a massive game for the Lakers. While the Warriors are the team facing elimination, the Lakers must avoid a Game 7 in Golden State. Allowing the Warriors to force a Game 7 would be disastrous after the Lakers went up 3-1, especially with Game 6 being at home. Dominant on their home floor all postseason, the Lakers will look to keep that going on Friday night.
