The latest news on the Lakers big man

Not only that Los Angeles Lakers lost their third game in their last four tries when they were knocked off by the Detroit Pistons, 115-103on Monday, but Anthony Davis suffered a leg injury during the fourth quarter.

He is off to a dominant start this season. He leads the NBA in scoring average and was able to continue playing after being injured on Monday and scored 37 points to go along with nine rebounds and four assists.

Everyone is concerned when Davis has even the slightest ailment, and it’s understandable given his injury history. The Lakers have reportedly listed him as questionable for Wednesday’s game against him Memphis Grizzlies with left heel contusion.

Davis said his injury is one he’s been dealing with since the summer. If it’s just a contusion (which is the medical term for a bruise), maybe it’s something he can play on, especially since he’s shown he wants to play even when hurt or injured.

The Grizzlies game will be key for Los Angeles as it is the last of a five-game road trip. The team is 4-3 on the season, and a win would go a long way toward stopping the bleeding and returning home on a more positive note.
