LeBron James Misses Sunday Game, Anthony Davis Leaves After Aggravating Eye Injury

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James missed his 11th game of the season Sunday with flu-like symptoms. 

Our panel of doctors expect that James will be available Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors in a potential preview of the 9/10 Play-In matchup that will take place on April 16.

Anthony Davis left Sunday’s game after taking a hit to the face and aggravating a previous eye injury that he originally suffered on March 16.

Davis should also be available on Tuesday against the Warriors, as long as he did not suffer a corneal abrasion.

As of Monday, the Lakers sit in ninth place at 45 and 34, a half game behind the Sacramento Kings and 1.5 games ahead of the Warriors.
