Anthony Davis Out Friday With Left Knee Soreness, Day-to-Day Going Forward

Lakers All-NBA big man Anthony Davis woke up Friday dealing with left knee soreness and is out tonight versus the Thunder, the team announced. Head coach Frank Vogel said he does not know what caused the 28-year-old's knee pain. Los Angeles lost to the Grizzlies 108-95 on Thursday night.

Davis has somewhat disappointed for the 13-13 Lakers, posting a 24/10.3/3 line with 1.3 steals and 2.2 blocks while shooting 52.3% from the field and only 19.2% from 3. The oft-injured Davis has only missed 1 games this year, be he was out for 36 of 72 games in the 2020-21 season with a calf injury, before a groin ailment ended his season in the 1st round of the playoffs. 

Davis will have a few days to get right, as the Lakers play the Magic on Sunday and then have 2 days off before playing the in Dallas on Wednesday night.
