Is Anthony Davis playing tonight? Latest injury update for Lakers vs Knicks
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Lakers continue their Grammays road trip after losing the first two games to the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. Boston’s win did not come without controversy after the referees missed an obvious foul on LeBron James. LeBron and Anthony Davis did not play in Brooklyn following that loss.
LeBron and AD are arguably the most dominant duo in the entire league but they are also the duo with the most availability concerns (outside of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George). It is not a guarantee that they will play on any given night, especially with a cramped road trip.
Getting both players on the court and getting back in the win column is big for Los Angeles. LeBron’s status is questionable, but what about Anthony Davis? Here is everything you need to know.
Anthony Davis injury status for tonight’s game vs Knicks:
Anthony Davis did not play on Monday as the team is being careful with his ramp-back up to full activity after having a full month off. While nothing is yet official, Davis has been listed as probable for tonight’s game in Madison Square Garden.
With yesterday primarily serving as a day off for AD, this probable status seemingly ensures that he will be in action against the Knicks.
Anthony Davis injury history:
Davis missed over a month of action with a stress fracture in his right foot. He made his return to the lineup on January 25 and has played two games for LA since. Davis played 26 minutes in his return and 33 minutes in his second game back.
Full Lakers injury report vs Knicks:
LeBron has been listed as questionable but according to Dave McMenamin, sources say he will play against the Knicks. Austin Reaves is still out of commission with a hamstring injury while Patrick Beverley has been ruled OUT with left knee soreness.
Full Knicks injury report vs Lakers:
Mitchell Robinson is the only Knicks player that is sidelined for this game against the Lakers. Robinson has been nursing a thumb injury.
Lakers upcoming schedule and opponents:
The Los Angeles Lakers are over halfway through their Grammays road trip and are close to returning home so LeBron James can break the all-time scoring record in front of the LA faithful.
