Is it game over for the Los Angeles Lakers? The franchise had been slowly picking up its slack thanks to an able and sound Anthony Davis. The team has surely relied on him, and AD has not disappointed. But, his Achilles heel seems to be catching up with him, and unfortunately for the Lakers, that could potentially cost the 17-time champions their place in the playoffs.

According to multiple reports, Anthony Davis is expected to be ruled out for at least a month owing to a right foot injury. NBA fans have since responded to the news, as AD succumbs to yet another injury.

Davis apparently got his ankle hurt after a poor landing during the game against?the Denver Nuggets. Even though the Lakers won 126-108, they lost their superstar for the ensuing weeks.

In fact, it has been reported that Anthony Davis has done more heavy lifting this season than even his teammate, LeBron James. “He has outscored, out-rebounded and out-blocked James thus far this season, and he’s done so on significantly more efficient shooting“, CBS NBA wrote.

What does this update mean for the Lakers and Anthony Davis?

The Lakers are currently 12th on the Western Conference table, with a 12-16 record so far this season. While they already don’t have much room to play around, each game is even more important from here on. Unfortunately, without Davis, whether or not the Lakers can cope will be the question on many fans’ minds.

Davis had been averaging 27.4 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, and these performances have bookmarked him for the MVP conversation. But this injury may set him back even more so, as the 8x All-Star already has an injury-prone list.

In the last season, he missed out on 42 games, and the year before that, he missed 36 games due to nagging injuries. Davis has struggled for a perfect attendance record.
