Horrifying Injury Scare For Lakers: Anthony Davis Heads Back to Locker Room in Pain

It seems to be a tough night for the NBA players, with many getting down with pulled hamstrings and others getting off the floor with confirmed knee surgeries. Well, the Los Angeles Lakers seem to have hit the same bummer with an on-court injury to the power forward.

Since Anthony Davis manages to hurt himself every year, even mid-season, tonight seems to be that moment. As ‘Fox Sports’ said, “The Brow became injury prone at the young age of 23”. Overall, the trend is still relevant even after a major trade-off.

Anthony Davis down with a Groin Spasm 

Anthony Davis is down with groin spasms, as reported by Shams Charania. While the player is getting the injury tested, the chances seem bleak for a potential return. With such a lengthy injury history, this one just adds to the “what if” for the Lakers while playing against the Miami Heat tonight.

After collecting a defensive rebound with 2:18 remaining in the second quarter, Davis left the floor and headed to the locker room. Although the player didn’t return after the halftime bell rang, there’s no update on his playing status for tonight. What happened was that shortly after the defensive rebound, the player appeared to grab his calf or ankle area before he left the floor.

Although knees have been the injury-prone area for Anthony Davis in recent games, tonight’s injury landed as a horrifying peek-a-boo. After playing 25 heavy minutes on the hardwood, ‘The Brow’ registered 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Furthermore, the franchise went on instead of focusing on the void.

What followed was not a much-awaited result for the team.

Following the exact trajectory of the last game against the Orlando Magic, the Lakers nearly pulled off a comeback but fell short by the smallest of margins. With the final score of 107-108, the Lakers went astray when Cam Reddish missed the two-point jump shot. Notably, LeBron took the foresight and helped the franchise reach a tally of 107 with his regular free throw.

Scoring 30 points, with 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, James defied father time yet again. Apart from this, Austin Reaves shined brightly as a shooting guard in the game, scoring a massive 23 points, with 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. Although the team fought to remain afloat, Jimmy Butler presented his A game tonight. Both teams now have identical records at 3 wins and 4 losses in the first 7 games. The Miami Heat sit 11th in the East, and the Lakers sit 9th in the West.
