The Los Angeles Lakers were up against the Portland Trail Blazers for the night. Anthony Davis’ loaded Lakers did make a show after winning the game, 107-95. The Lakers are 7-6 in the league and No. 7 in the Western Conference. While the Lakers displayed their prowess after the last loss against the Sacramento Kings, Portland suffered their sixth consecutive defeat tonight.

While Anthony Davis was on the ‘probable’ list for tonight’s game, the player took the call to go full-throttle and hand his franchise a marvelous win. With 107-95, LeBron James and Co. flexed their dominance.

Hams on Anthony Davis’ injury report

In a post-game interview, head coach Darvin Ham made a statement about Davis and his selfless behavior that helped the franchise tonight. Ham said, “You know he is a prideful young man, and we appreciate him. You were trying to make himself available at all times.” When answering the question of whether the player will be available for the next game against the Houston Rockets, Hams put the onus on Davis. The head coach said, “You know, only he can answer that question. Is he good to carry the load that he is carrying?”

The Brow sustained a hip injury and was listed as probable for Friday’s game. However, ‘Underdog NBA’ broke the news on Twitter just 4 hours before the game that Davis seemed to be in ‘play’ mode. Davis amassed a total of 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists in his 35 minutes on the court. 

The Lakers were anchored by Anthony Davis and flanked by hard-nosed and smart defenders who stood out in defensive parameters to outshine the Trail Blazers. Will Anthony Davis play against the Rockets?

Anthony Davis injury report

It’s an open secret now that Anthony Davis and injury scares go hand-in-hand. The trend that once started back when Davis assisted the Lakers to win the 2020 championship still continues in the 2023–2024 season. The All-Star big man sustained a hip spasm in his left abductor in the first half while playing against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

Although the player had been managing the hip tightness for a week now, the loss against the Kings was a team fallacy and can’t be blamed on a single player. However, the power forward did receive a lot of criticism for not performing up to par. Can an All-Star teammate do any good to the player? The injury reports might witness a fall once the skepticism around ‘Zach LaVine’s’ trade settles down.

Until then, the player will decide whether he wants to record minutes against the Rockets or not. Do you think he will place his recovery on the back foot to help the franchise score another win? Let us know your views on the player’s injury report in the comments.
