Davis was everywhere in this game and fantasy managers were likely thrilled to see him on the floor for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Davis had a two-point dud against the Thunder on Friday, but he bounced back in a big way to give the Mavericks their third win out of their last four games to improve to 9-16 on the season.

Davis is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game with the Rockets.

Davis said after Friday's loss that he planned to play Saturday, and with him not even listed on the injury report, it appears he's been cleared for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Davis said after Friday's game that he was not concerned about his left knee and plans to play Saturday versus the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

It appears that Davis will be available for both games of this back-to-back set, and he'll be looking to bounce back after being held to just two points on 1-for-9 shooting in Friday's loss to the Thunder. Davis may have his minutes monitored Saturday night, but when he's active, he's a must-start player.

Since returning from injury, Davis has ramped up his production, averaging 20.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers through three games.

After sitting out Saturday's win over the Clippers, Davis returned to the hardwood and put together a dominant showing. The star big man led all players in scoring and grabbed a team-high 13 boards en route to his fifth double-double across seven regular-season games. He has also swatted multiple shots in back-to-back games and is averaging 1.6 blocks per game thus far.

Davis (calf) is available for Monday's game in Denver.

Davis is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Dwight Powell returning to the second unit, and there will be fewer minutes available for Moussa Cisse. Davis is averaging 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game on the season.

Davis (calf) is probable for Monday's game in Denver.

Davis sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday for rest purposes, but he should get back out there Monday night, which should result in Dwight Powell returning to the second unit. Moussa Cisse could drop from the rotation entirely with Davis active.

Davis (injury management) won't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Davis will take a seat for the tail end of the Mavericks' back-to-back set. The veteran big man returned from a 14-game absence due to a calf strain Friday night and logged 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3PT), five rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 28 minutes. Davis was under a minutes restriction for the contest. His absence should open up more opportunities for Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson and Moussa Cisse.

Davis is ready to return from a 14-game absence with a calf strain, and he's expected to have a minutes restriction, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis has averaged 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in five games this season.

Davis (calf) is expected to play Friday against the Lakers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

This has been the game that Davis has circled on his calendar for a potential return. He's been sidelined for roughly one month, so it's fair to expect restrictions in his first game back. Additionally, it's hard to imagine him being allowed to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set Saturday against the Clippers.

Davis (calf) will be listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

According to coach Jason Kidd, the Mavericks want to see how Davis responds to Wednesday's practice before a decision is made. Davis has missed the past 14 games for Dallas, but a return appears to be imminent. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so at best, Davis will likely see action in just one of those games.

Davis (calf) is scheduled to practice on Wednesday, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Davis has been sidelined since Oct. 29, but the big man appears close to a return. "He's working to get back," coach Jason Kidd said Monday. Friday's game against the Lakers is the front end of a back-to-back set, so at best, Davis will likely be allowed to play in just one of these games if he responds well to Wednesday's practice.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

As expected, Davis will miss his 14th consecutive contest due to a left calf strain. The star big man's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Lakers. With Davis and Dereck Lively (foot) both sidelined, Naji Marshall, Daniel Gafford and Moussa Cisse are candidates for increased minutes.

Davis (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Heat.

Davis is expected to miss his 14th consecutive contest due to a strained left calf, and the Mavericks will likely continue to take a cautious approach with the star big man. With the 32-year-old likely to join Dereck Lively (knee) on the sidelines, Daniel Gafford, Moussa Cisse and Naji Marshall are candidates for increased playing time.

Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, the Mavericks announced Sunday.

Davis will miss his ninth game in a row Sunday against Portland, and now he will sit out at least four more games. The earliest possible return date is Nov. 24 against the Heat, though that seems a bit unlikely given how cautious the team is being. Davis is reportedly making good progress, but the Mavericks will have to carry on without their franchise forward for a while longer.

Davis (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Davis appears poised to miss a ninth consecutive game due to a left calf strain that he sustained against the Pacers on Oct. 29. Daniel Gafford, Derek Lively and Naji Marshall will continue see more minutes and bigger roles for as long as Davis is sidelined.

Davis (calf) won't play Friday against the Clippers.

Friday will mark Davis' eighth consecutive game on the inactive list, and with Dallas' next two games coming as a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, it seems unlikely he'll be able to return by the end of Week 4. Naji Marshall, Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford will pick up the slack in Davis' absence.

Davis (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Davis has missed the past seven games for Dallas, but this will be his fourth straight questionable tag. Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont requested medical data to indicate that Davis is not at risk of aggravating his left calf strain before the veteran big man receives clearance to play, but there's been no noteworthy update since. His status moving forward is very much in the air.

Davis (calf) will not play against Phoenix on Wednesday, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports.

According to MacMahon, Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont has requested medical data indicating that Davis is not at risk of aggravating his left calf strain before giving a green light for his return. Davis will sit out for a seventh game in a row Wednesday and his potential return remains in the air.

Davis (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Davis is looking to bring a six-game absence with a calf strain to an end against Phoenix. The Mavericks are likely to determine his status following pregame warmups Wednesday. If Davis remains out yet again, Dallas would likely need Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington to handle the lion's share of the minutes at power forward.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a sprained left calf, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Suns. With the star big man sidelined, Naji Marshall, Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell are candidates for inreased minutes.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a strained left calf, and his next chance to play will come Monday against the Bucks. With the star big man sidelined, Dwight Powell, Moussa Cisse and Naji Marshall are candidates for increased minutes, especially if Daniel Gafford (ankle) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Davis (calf) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Davis is dealing with a calf issue, which may keep him sidelined for a fifth straight game. If he's ultimately ruled out, the team will likely lean on Dwight Powell to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Davis (calf) won't play in Friday's game against Memphis.

No surprise here, as the Mavericks initially considered Davis doubtful for Friday. The superstar big man appears to be inching closer to returning, with his next chance to do so coming Saturday in Washington. Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington should handle the lion's share of the frontcourt minutes until Davis can make his way back into the floor.

Davis (calf) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against Memphis.

Davis is considered day-to-day with a low-grade calf strain, but he's not likely to suit up Friday. With the superstar big man in line for a fourth consecutive absence, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford should both play an expanded role.

Davis (calf), who's already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, is considered day-to-day, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Jason Kidd gave Davis the designation, and Kidd said the superstar forward is still "ramping up on the court." Wednesday's absence will be Davis's third straight due to a low-grade calf strain. His next chance to play will come Friday at Memphis.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Davis will miss a third straight game due to a low-grade left calf strain that he suffered last Wednesday against the Pacers. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Memphis, but given his injury history, it's possible Dallas opts to keep Davis sidelined through its upcoming two-game road trip. He can be considered doubtful for those contests, barring another update from the team.

Davis (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons and Monday's game against the Rockets.

Davis has been diagnosed with a low-grade left calf strain, and he'll be re-evaluated ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Pelicans. The Mavericks are already dealing with injuries to Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (knee), which will make it even more difficult to plug up the center position for the time being. Dwight Powell could be thrust into big minutes down low, while P.J. Washington could be used as a small-ball center more frequently.

Davis (leg) is not expected to play Saturday against the Pistons, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Davis wasn't able to return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left lower leg soreness.

Davis (leg) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

It wasn't clear exactly what happened to Davis when he suffered the injury. He came down normally after a jump shot, but was unable to run back on defense, as he clutched at the ankle area of his left leg. Dwight Powell started the second half of Wednesday's game, so if Davis needs to skip Saturday's game in Detroit, Powell would have the opportunity for another start.

Davis is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left lower leg soreness.

Davis departed Wednesday's game in the first quarter while favoring his left leg, and he's now questionable to return. While he's idle, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin and Dwight Powell could see more minutes.

Davis went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Pacers with an apparent left leg injury, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Davis landed regularly on a jumper, but began favoring his left leg shortly after. The 32-year-old big man eventually departed the game and went back to the locker room for further evaluation. While he's out, Naji Marshall, Dwight Powell and Caleb Martin could see more action. Davis was listed on the injury report before Wednesday's game with an Achilles injury.

Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Davis has been nursing an Achilles issue, but that won't keep him off the floor. The superstar big man has put up some solid numbers this season, averaging 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from deep.

Davis (Achilles) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Davis is nursing an Achilles issue, but it doesn't appear severe enough to keep him off the floor. The superstar big man is coming off a 26-point double-double in Monday's game against the Thunder. He's averaging 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from deep.

Davis contributed 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes in Monday's 101-94 loss to the Thunder.

Davis recorded his fourth consecutive 20-point double-double to open the season, though his effort wasn't enough to prevent the Mavericks from falling to 1-3 on the year. The 10-time All-Star continues to be a dominant interior force and remains one of the league's premier big men, with durability being the only recurring concern -- one that hasn't surfaced yet this season. He'll aim to stay hot Wednesday against a Pacers team that lacks a proven frontcourt.

Davis ended Friday's 117-107 loss to the Wizards with 27 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes.

Despite the strong numbers in the box score, Davis' performance was erratic when it mattered. He missed a couple late free throws while the outcome was still in doubt and then coughed up the ball on a bad pass to Cooper Flagg, finishing with five turnovers in total. Davis has begun the 2025-26 season with back-to-back double-doubles, pulling down 13 boards each time, and staying healthy will be the veteran big man's biggest challenge.

Davis notched 27 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and five turnovers in 38 minutes during Friday's 117-107 loss to the Wizards.

That's two straight double-doubles for Davis to open the year, but it's also been two straight losses for the Mavericks. There's no question about Davis' ability to stuff the stat sheet, but managers will hope the losses don't become a frequent thing this season, as that would heighten the chance of an early-season shutdown for the oft-injured big man. The Mavs will look to right the ship Sunday against the Raptors.

Davis had 22 points (7-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-92 loss to the Spurs.

Davis finished with a full line, including a 22-and-13 double-double, despite shooting just 7-for-22 from the field. Outside of the poor shooting and, of course, the result, it was a good night for those who drafted the oft-injured superstar. Look for him to find his rhythm in what could be a favorable matchup against the Wizards on Friday.

Davis finished with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 FT, 0-3 3Pt, nince rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 121-94 preseason win over the Lakers

Davis racked up a good number against his former team, and the big man's minutes ramped up to the kind of usage he'll see in the regular season. The increase is likely a conditioning move for the Mavericks, who need Davis to be at full strength right away when the regular season commences next week.

The Mavericks plan to increase Davis' minutes in Wednesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Kevin Gray Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Davis played 25 minutes in Monday's preseason win over the Jazz, so perhaps he'll log somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 minutes Wednesday. The superstar big man should be all systems go for the Oct. 22 regular-season opener against the Spurs.

Davis amassed 25 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes in Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.

Davis delivered a well-rounded performance while leading all players in scoring. The star big man also tied the game high in blocks and matched the team-best mark in steals. The 32-year-old appeared in just nine regular-season games after being traded to Dallas in the 2024-25 campaign due to a left adductor strain, during which he averaged 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks across 29.4 minutes per game.

Davis compiled seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two clocked shots and an assists in 16 minutes during Monday's 106-89 preseason win over Oklahoma State.

The Mavericks have a wide array of options at center, so Davis should find himself fully entrenched at the four spot for most of the season. The veteran didn't have many opportunities to show his worth after joining the team last season, but he appears to be past the groin injury that kept him sidelined. He also underwent eye surgery and will be wearing protective eyewear for the foreseeable future.

Davis (eye) will wear protective eyewear for the rest of his playing career, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Davis was given a mandate by his doctor following a procedure in July to repair a detached retina in his right eye. Although he's going along with the mandate, he's not thrilled with it. "It's for the rest of [my] career, which I'm not too excited about." After a challenging 2024-25 campaign, which was marred by injuries and a mid-season trade to the Mavericks involving Luka Doncic, Davis gets an opportunity to start fresh with a new look, while being the undisputed leader on a talented Dallas squad.

Davis (eye) has been cleared for training camp, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints reports.

Head coach Jason Kidd told reporters Monday that everyone except Kyrie Irving (knee) has been cleared for training camp, which confirms that Davis is on track following his July 8 eye surgery. The big man logged 51 regular-season appearances last season between the Lakers and Mavericks, averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals. A true two-way force, Davis' health will be one of the biggest factors in Dallas' push for success this season.

Davis (eye) got back on the basketball floor for the first time since July for five-on-five work Saturday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis underwent eye surgery to repair a detached retina on July 8. He was expected to return in time for training camp and it appears he's on track to do just that following this latest report. After being traded to the Mavericks in the shocking Luka Doncic deal with the Lakers, Davis' time with Dallas for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign was marred by injuries, as he went down with an abductor injury in his first game with his new squad and then dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season. The one-time NBA champion will hope for a fresh start next month, with training camp set to get underway on Sept. 30.

Davis underwent a procedure to repair a detached retina that he suffered during the 2024-25 regular season Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After being traded to the Mavericks in the blockbuster deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers, Davis dealt with a few injuries, which limited him to just nine regular-season games and two postseason games with his new team. Along with the adductor injury he suffered in his first game with Dallas, the veteran big man also dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season and suffered a detached retina. However, Davis is expected to be ready for training camp following the procedure he underwent Tuesday. In the nine regular-season games he played with the Mavericks, the 31-year-old averaged 20 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 23.3 percent from three-point range.

Davis is out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left adductor strain.

Davis will miss the final game of the regular season for the Mavericks due to a groin problem, and it seems the team doesn't want to take any risks with the star big man since the Play-In Tournament is right around the corner. Davis will finish the regular season having played just nine games for Dallas since being part of the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers. In those nine appearances, however, the star big man averaged 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds,4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game.

Davis finished Friday's 124-102 win over the Raptors with 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and seven blocks over 30 minutes.

Davis was the game's leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, with five of his seven swats coming in the second quarter. It was his fourth triple-double of his career and first since Feb. 5, 2024 against the Hornets when he played for the Lakers. In the eight games since returning from a groin injury, Davis has averaged 19.3 points, 9.4 rebounds. 4.1 assists and 2.1 blocks over 29.4 minutes per contest.

Davis notched 27 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 135-104 loss to the Clippers.

Davis was visibly troubled by knee and abdominal ailments during the game, but he battled through the pain and led the team in points and rebounds. Although Davis requires rest to heal, the Mavericks have little choice but to keep him on the court to increase their postseason odds. Currently, Dallas is barely holding on to a play-in spot, and continued losses will allow the Kings and Suns to catch up. Davis should remain a steady presence while the team is still in the race.

Davis (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Davis was deemed probable, so the upgrade to available isn't entirely surprising. The star big man has been limited to only six games with the Mavericks, averaging 19.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, and he should handle his regular workload at center in his return from a one-game absence.

Davis had his best all-around performance since arriving in Dallas, helping them to a much-needed victory. Although his return to the court was met with some questions, he has certainly provided the team with a strong presence on both ends of the floor. Unsurprisingly, his efficiency has been somewhat of an issue, something that he managed to rectify in this one. Both Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford have also recently returned from their respective injuries, with Dallas now possessing a formidable frontcourt.

Davis sustained a laceration near his right eye but has checked back in to Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Davis was hit in the head and went back to the locker room briefly before returning with a bandage over the laceration. He's returned to Wednesday's game and shouldn't face any limitations the rest of the way.

In three games, he has averaged 15.0 points on 35.3 percent shooting from the floor, adding 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. He doesn't appear to be fully confident but just the fact that he made it back at all should be seen as a huge positive.

Davis (adductor) will play Saturday against the Bulls.

As expected, Davis will shake off a probable tag to suit up for this contest. He's been quiet in his last two appearances, averaging 13.5 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the field.

Davis (adductor) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Davis continues to manage his adductor injury, but he's trending toward playing Saturday in Chicago.

The star big man has been limited to only three games in a Mavs uniform, averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in those outings.

Davis (adductor) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Davis was widely expected to play Thursday, so the upgrade in his status isn't much of a surprise for fantasy managers who were counting on him ahead of Thursday's matchup. Davis didn't play against the Knicks on Tuesday and has been limited to just two games with Dallas since being traded in the deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers before February's trade deadline. He's averaging 19.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game in those two outings.

Davis (adductor) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Magic, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis is trending toward returning to the floor for the Mavericks on Thursday in Orlando. The veteran big man missed 18 straight games after getting injured in his first game with Dallas following the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers. In his return from the adductor injury on March 24, the one-time NBA champion racked up 12 points, six rebounds, one steal and one block in a win over the Nets.

Davis (adductor) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.

After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis has a chance to play Thursday in Orlando. The superstar big man finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the win over the Nets on Monday after missing 18 straight games for Dallas with an adductor injury.

Davis (abdomen) won't play Tuesday against the Knicks.

Following an 18-game absence, Davis logged 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets. He'll sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, but no setback has been reported. Therefore, fantasy managers can anticipate his return to action Thursday against Orlando.

Davis (adductor) recorded 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets.

Davis' stat line in his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain wasn't especially eye-popping, but he converted well in the paint, avoided foul trouble and made his mark on the defensive end while playing under a 28-minute restriction. The Mavericks are expected to hold Davis out Tuesday against the Knicks in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but provided he didn't experience any setbacks coming out of Monday's contest, he could be ready to handle a slightly larger minutes load in his next appearance Thursday in Orlando.

Davis (thigh) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Davis was initially listed as doubtful for Monday's contest after missing the last 18 games due to a left adductor strain. He steadily saw his game status improve and is now set to make his return and will operate under a minutes restriction, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. Naji Marshall or Kai Jones would be the top candidates to slide to a reserve role if Davis is reinserted into the starting lineup for Monday's contest.

Davis (thigh) is probable for Monday's game against Brooklyn, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis was initially listed as doubtful to make his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, though he's now expected to suit up. The star big man isn't expected to play in both halves of back-to-back sets yet, meaning he'll presumably sit out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks if he's deemed available Monday. Davis will likely operate under a minutes restriction after the extended absence.

Davis (thigh) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.

Davis, who was initially considered doubtful, is suddenly trending towards a return to action even though the Mavericks are falling out of the playoff race. The Mavericks are extremely shorthanded, so that could factor into the decision. If Davis does end up getting the green light, he'll likely face restrictions in his first game back.

Davis (thigh) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.

Even with the Mavericks falling out of the playoff picture, it looks like Davis will try to suit up down the stretch. He hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but went through multiple 5-on-5 practices in the G League recently and may take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Following Monday's game, Dallas plays in New York on Tuesday, in Orlando on Thursday and in Chicago on Saturday.

Davis (adductor) is progressing toward a potential return in Dallas' upcoming four-game road trip that begins with Monday's game versus the Nets, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but is gearing up toward a return to action. The star big man has been going through 5-on-5 practices in the G League and could take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Until Davis is able to suit up, Kai Jones and Dwight Powell should continue to soak up the majority of the team's center minutes.

The Mavericks assigned Davis (thigh) to the G League so he can participate in a second round of 5-on-5 practices with the Texas Legends and will then be recalled, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis continues to ramp up toward a return to action and will take part in a 5-on-5 practice in the G League for the second time this week. Although there is no official timetable for the star big man's return, it appears that he will attempt to play before the end of the regular season.

Dallas recalled Davis from the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.

Davis participated in 5-on-5 drills during Monday's G League practice as part of his return to action plan, but there's no word on how he fared just yet. As far as a timetable goes, it's still murky as to whether Davis will suit up for the Mavericks in the near future.

The Mavericks assigned Davis (thigh) to the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.

Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com relays that Davis will participate in 5-on-5 drills during Monday's G League practice as part of his return to action plan, but it's still unclear when the superstar big man may play in a game. Davis is working his way back from a left adductor strain he sustained in his Mavericks debut Feb. 8, and there have been rumors that he could be shut down for the season. However, given the Mavericks' current injury situation, they may have no choice but to play Davis again this season, even if they've fallen completely out of the playoff picture.

Davis (adductor) has been cleared for more on-court movements and is set to be evaluated weekly by the Mavericks moving forward, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Mavericks have shed some light on Davis' status after he sustained a left adductor strain in his team debut Feb. 8. Shams Charania of ESPN relayed Tuesday that the club could end up shutting the star big man down for the season, though this recent update suggests that the club will slowly increase his workload in practice before making a final decision.

The Mavericks could shut down Davis (thigh) for the rest of the season, Shams Charania reports.

Davis has yet to play another game for Dallas since suffering an injury in his Feb. 8 debut with the team. Now that Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign, the Mavericks might do the same with their new superstar big man, which would essentially end any hope of a postseason run in perhaps one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory for the franchise.

The Mavericks announced Thursday that Davis will have his left adductor strain re-evaluated in two weeks.

During his debut with the Mavericks on Feb. 8 in the win against the Rockets, Davis went down with a left adductor strain, keeping him out the last three games for Dallas. The superstar big man will remain sidelined for at least the next two weeks before having the injury re-evaluated to determine a timetable for his return to the floor. The one-time NBA champion finished with 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in his first game with the team, showing his vast array of skills on both ends of the floor. In his absence, the Mavericks have had to turn to Kessler Edwards and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt, with Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively (ankle) also injured.

Davis (groin) is expected to be sidelined for up to a month, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Davis suffered a left adductor strain during his Mavericks debut Saturday against the Rockets and it seems like the star big man is in line for an extended absence. The news confirms that Davis will be forced to miss the All-Star Game, but the timing will help in limiting the number of games the new franchise player will miss amidst Dallas' push for the postseason. Naji Marshall, Dante Exum (Achilles) and Kessler Edwards are likely candidates for increased minutes with Davis sidelined.

Davis (thigh) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Davis sustained the left adductor strain during his Mavericks debut in Saturday's win over the Rockets, but it appears as though he has avoided a long-term absence. With the superstar big man on the shelf, Naji Marshall, Dante Exum and Kessler Edwards are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Davis' next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Warriors.

Davis told reporters after Saturday's 116-105 win over the Rockets that the groin and quadriceps injuries that he suffered are "nothing serious," Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

When Davis initially went down late in the third quarter, it wasn't clear whether he aggravated an abdominal muscle strain that forced him to be sidelined for five games. He was unable to return to Saturday's contest, but he appeared confident after the game that the injury isn't long term. Davis' status will be closely monitored ahead of Monday's game against the Kings.

Davis (lower body) did not return to Saturday's 116-105 win over the Rockets. He finished with 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks over 31 minutes.

Davis made his highly-anticipated Mavericks debut Saturday, and he set the tone for Dallas on both ends of the floor. However, Davis left at the 1:37 mark in the third quarter after going down with what was reported as a lower body injury. Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain before being traded to the Lakers on Feb. 1, though it's unclear whether Saturday's injury was an aggravation or separate. Naji Marshall, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Max Christie would stand to see more playing time against the Kings on Monday if either or both of Davis and P.J. Washington (ankle) are unable to play.

Davis (abdomen/groin) is doubtful to return for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Davis suffered an apparent groin injury during his debut with the Mavericks against the Rockets on Saturday, which now has his status as doubtful to return to the game. Prior to the injury, the superstar big man racked up 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in 31 minutes for Dallas.

Davis (abdomen/groin) went to the locker room late in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Rockets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain prior to being traded to Dallas on Saturday. He was cleared to play Saturday, but he went down late in the third quarter and appeared to be grabbing his abdominal/groin area. He quickly went to the locker room after being subbed out of the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return. With P.J. Washington (ankle) ruled out for the rest of the contest, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should see increased minutes off the bench for as long as Davis is out of the game.

Davis (abdomen) said that he'll play in Saturday's game against Houston, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

The superstar big man will make his Mavericks debut after having been included in the trade that sent Luka Doncic (calf) to the Lakers last Saturday. Davis has been dealing with an abdominal strain since before the trade, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if the club remains cautious with him during his first matchup back. The 31-year-old will likely slot into the starting role at power forward alongside Daniel Gafford in the frontcourt.

Davis (Abdomen) is expected to make his Dallas debut Saturday against the Rockets, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Davis was spotted going through a workout at Thursday's shootaround, but it sounds like the Mavericks will take a cautious approach here -- Davis has been sidelined since Jan. 28 and isn't quite 100 percent. Once he gets the green light, there's a good chance the Mavericks roll with a starting frontcourt of Davis and Daniel Gafford alongside each other.

Davis (abdomen) participated in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Celtics, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Davis is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to an abdominal muscle strain. However, the star big man's participation in shootaround is a positive sign that he will be available to make his Dallas debut against Boston.

Davis (abdomen) is officially questionable for Thursday's game against Boston.

Davis has another on-court workout scheduled for Wednesday after getting through one Tuesday. He's been sidelined since Jan. 28, and he's been non-committal regarding his chances of playing against Boston. If he doesn't take the floor Thursday, his debut could come Saturday against Houston.

Davis (abdomen) plans to complete on-court workouts Tuesday and Wednesday before the Mavericks decide on his status for Thursday's game against the Celtics, WFAA 8 Dallas reports.

Davis was non-committal on his chances of making his Mavericks debut Thursday, though he said that if he's unable to play in Boston, he'll "more than likely" take the court Saturday versus the Rockets in Dallas. Before he was officially traded to the Mavericks on Sunday, Davis had been sidelined since Jan. 28 with an abdominal strain. While speaking to the media Tuesday, Davis reiterated that he expects to see most of his playing time at power forward, though he's still likely to get some minutes at center in place of starter Daniel Gafford on the occasions when head coach Jason Kidd wants to get more shooters on the floor.

Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain.

Davis missed his last three matchups in LA due to this injury, and he's not yet ready to return to play following Saturday night's trade. His next opportunity to make his Dallas debut will arrive Thursday in Boston.

Davis (abdomen, recently traded) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Davis is working through an abdominal muscle strain that has had him out of action since Jan. 28. However, the trade involving Davis, Luka Doncic and four other players is still pending, so there's no guarantee that Davis would be available to make his Mavericks debut Tuesday even if fully healthy. If Davis is ruled out, his next chance to play will be Thursday against the Celtics.

The Lakers are trading Davis (abdomen) to the Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf) in a three-team trade involving the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Lakers will send Davis, Max Christie and their 2029 first-round pick to the Mavericks in exchange for Doncic, Maxi Kleber (foot) and Markieff Morris, while the Jazz receive Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) and two second-round picks. It's a monumental shift for the Mavericks and Lakers, with Davis now heading to Dallas to pair up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson while Doncic heads to Los Angeles to team up with LeBron James. Davis, Doncic and Hood-Schifino will all need to pass physicals for their respective injuries before the trade is official, but it's a move that has truly shaken up the Western Conference and the NBA.

Davis will be re-evaluated in about one week after an MRI confirmed an abdominal strain Wednesday, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis left Tuesday's game against the 76ers after just 10 minutes and wasn't able to return. He's planning to return to Los Angeles on Wednesday, and if this re-evaluation date holds, he'd be set to miss at least three games with a possible return Feb. 6 against the Warriors. In the meantime, LeBron James could see more usage, and guys like Jaxson Hayes, Rui Hachimura, Dorian Finney-Smith and Jarred Vanderbilt could be more involved in the frontcourt.

Davis won't return to Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis chipped in four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal across 10 minutes before heading to the locker room with 2:10 remaining in the first quarter. The superstar's status will be something to monitor ahead of Thursday's game against Washington, with Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko likely to receive an uptick in playing time while Davis is on the shelf.

Davis is deemed questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis tallied four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal in 10 minutes of action before leaving Tuesday's contest with 2:10 remaining in the first quarter. If Davis is unable to return, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko will likely receive increased playing time.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis will suit up for the second leg of the club's back-to-back set after having landed on the injury report with left foot plantar fasciitis. Over his last five outings, the star big man has averaged 29.4 points, 14.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

Davis (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

After an incredible performance in Monday's win against the Hornets, Davis will likely play in the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday in Philadelphia. The veteran big man was thought to potentially rest against the 76ers, especially after recording a season-high 42 points and 23 rebounds in Charlotte. However, he's trending toward playing, which is good news for Los Angeles, who'll be trying to win a fifth straight game.

Davis finished with 42 points (17-28 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 23 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Monday's 112-107 victory over the Hornets.

Davis kept the Lakers afloat Monday, pacing the team in points and rebounds by a wide margin. This marks new season highs in both categories for the 31-year-old, who has now reached the 40-point threshold three times through 41 games this season. Davis has also secured a double-double in 11 of his last 12 appearances.

Davis (foot) is available for Monday's game against Charlotte, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis contributed 36 points (13-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-108 victory over the Warriors.

Davis paced the Lakers in scoring Saturday and was at his best in the fourth quarter when the two-man game between Davis and LeBron James sealed the game for good. Davis surpassed the 30-point plateau for the first time this month, and he continues to deliver outstanding numbers on both ends of the court. Since Jan. 1 onwards, he's averaging 25.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.8 blocks across 35.0 minutes per game.

Davis (calf) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Warriors, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis will take the floor once again Saturday when the Lakers take on the Warriors in San Francisco.

Davis (calf) is probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis accumulated 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 win over the Celtics.

Davis was excellent on both ends of the court, and even though he saw his double-double streak end at nine games, he filled the stat sheet enough to make a huge impact across the board. Davis is averaging 23.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.3 steals per game since the beginning of January, and he continues to deliver outstanding value while rarely missing games -- which has been an issue for him throughout his career.

Davis (calf) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Celtics, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Similar to what has happened with LeBron James, Davis will suit up and handle his regular workload in the frontcourt despite being a constant presence in the injury report. Davis has been stellar in recent weeks and is averaging a robust stat line of 23.7 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.0 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Davis is probable for Thursday's game against Boston due to right calf soreness, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

LeBron James might have grabbed headlines after making history with his ninth triple-double of the season, but Davis was a one-man wrecking force for the Lakers and carried the team to victory with an impressive display on both ends of the court. The star big man has recorded nine straight double-doubles despite constantly dealing with plantar fasciitis on his left foot, but it seems the injury isn't slowing him down. He's averaging 25.6 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in that nine-game span.

Davis (calf) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

The Lakers previously listed Davis as questionable, but the franchise is planning on having their center in the starting lineup against the Wizards.

Davis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has frequented the injury report throughout the season but recently missed a game Friday against the Nets due to the foot injury. He's now dealing with a calf issue, an injury he'll test out in shootaround or pregame warmups to determine if he feels healthy enough to go Tuesday.

Davis finished with 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-102 loss to the Clippers.

Davis (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was tabbed as a game-time call for this matchup, but it seems things went well during the pre-game routine, as he's been upgraded to available. Expect the big man to be the Lakers' go-to option on offense while handling his regular workload as an all-around, two-way contributor.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was a late scratch against the Nets on Friday, and he usually carries probable tags, so this questionable designation is a big concern for fantasy managers. Jaxson Hayes started in Davis' place Friday, but now he's also questionable with a right shoulder issue.

Davis (foot) won't play in Friday's game against the Nets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

After initially being listed as probable Friday, Davis was downgraded to questionable shortly before tipoff and has now been ruled out altogether. Jaxson Hayes will fill the void left behind by Davis at center in Los Angeles' starting lineup against Brooklyn, and Dalton Knecht could see more playing time in small-ball lineups for the Lakers.

Davis (foot) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

The fact that Davis has been downgraded this close to Friday's tip-off doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If the superstar big man is ultimately ruled out, Jaxson Hayes is the next man up on Los Angeles' depth chart at center.

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis carrying probable tags related to his left foot soreness is nothing new. Look for him to see his usual minutes against the Nets, barring a setback in warmups.

Davis and the Lakers will not play Saturday's game against the Spurs. as the game has been postponed due to the continuing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Davis was initially listed as probable for Saturday's game, but the NBA has decided to postpone the game, as well as the Clippers versus Hornets matchup, due to the dangerous situation in Los Angeles. The Lakers are set to play their upcoming five games at home, and it wouldn't be surprising if further games are postponed in the coming days.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report through the early part of the season due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he is expected to suit up Tuesday. The superstar big man has appeared in four of the Lakers' last five outings, during which he has averaged 28.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals across 37.8 minutes per game.

Davis amassed 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and five blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 loss to Houston.

Davis had a strong showing Sunday despite the outcome of the contest, as he recorded a fourth straight double-double and the third consecutive appearance with two or more blocks. Excluding the Christmas Day game against the Warriors, in which he left with an injury after just seven minutes, Davis has posted a double-double in 11 games in a row while recording multiple blocks nine times in that stretch.

Davis (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis and LeBron James (rest) have both been upgraded from probable to available. Over his last three appearances, Davis has averaged 27.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks in 37.7 minutes per game.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Houston, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

After missing Thursday's game versus Portland, Davis returned Friday against the Hawks and produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals across 37 minutes. Probable tags are usually par for the course with Davis, and fantasy managers can expect him to suit up Sunday.

Davis produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 119-102 win over Atlanta.

Davis was difficult to contain in the paint, and he beat back Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson with ease. Onyeka Okongwu had more success against him, but Davis was the clear rebound leader by a wide margin. Davis is aiming to ignite a double-double streak, and he's now has three of them in a row. He has a challenging matchup opposite Alperen Sengun in his next game, but he has an excellent chance to extend the streak to four.

Davis (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Hawks.

After sitting out Thursday's loss to Portland with an ankle injury, Davis is back in action Friday and shouldn't face any minutes restrictions. The superstar big man is averaging 22.0 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals over his last seven games.

Davis (ankle) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Davis missed the first game of a back-to-back for the Lakers on Thursday, sitting out against the Blazers. The veteran big man will likely be back on the floor on Friday against the Hawks in Los Angeles, which should give his team a huge boost in the paint against Trae Young and company.

Davis (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis will miss the first leg of this back-to-back set after he was previously downgraded to doubtful Thursday. This means Jaxson Hayes could get the start at center, though other players in the frontcourt, such as Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith, could see expanded roles. Davis' next chance to play will come in the second half of this back-to-back set against the Hawks on Friday.

Davis (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Blazers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has only missed one game this season due to injury, but he appears to be trending toward missing Thursday's game against the visiting Blazers. If Davis is ruled out, the Lakers will likely lean on Rui Hachimura and potentially get Jaxson Hayes back on the floor to face Portland.

Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a regular on the injury report, most recently due to a left ankle sprain. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, but Thursday is the first leg of a back-to-back set for the Lakers, so he could be sidelined for one of those contests. Davis averaged 22.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals across 33.8 minutes per game across 13 outings in December.

Davis supplied 28 points (12-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

The Lakers couldn't end the calendar year on a strong note with a win, but Davis still delivered an impressive fantasy line while filling the stat sheet admirably. These outputs aren't anything new for Davis, though, as this was the eighth time this season in which Davis recorded at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Davis averaged 22.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across 13 appearances in December.

Davis (ankle) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Cleveland, Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation reports.

Davis continues to find himself on the injury report but hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, so his availability wasn't truly in doubt. The big man is averaging 21.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 blocks in his last seven matchups.

Davis (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

This is great news for the Lakers, though LeBron James (illness) and Gabe Vincent (oblique) remain questionable. If James doesn't get the green light, Davis could be looking at a significant increase in usage.

Davis is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain, Ryan reports.

Davis sprained his left ankle during the Lakers' Christmas Day win over the Warriors. He was able to play Saturday against the Kings, and the injury didn't appear to slow him down as he dominated with 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes in a 132-122 win. Unless he suffers a setback, Davis should be able to play on New Year's Eve.

Davis racked up 36 points (12-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 15 rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 win over Sacramento.

Davis missed just four of his 16 shots from the field and ended just two assists away from a triple-double in what ended being a strong two-way effort while also limiting the impact of Domantas Sabonis, one of the best big men in The Association. Even though Davis didn't fill the stat sheet as he normally does, fantasy managers would welcome this stat line any day of the week. Perhaps more importantly, Davis looked healthy and didn't show any lingering effects of the ankle injury that limited him to just seven minutes on Christmas Day against the Warriors. Davis is averaging 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers made per game since the beginning of December.

Davis (ankle) is available and starting Saturday against the Kings.

Davis was limited to just seven minutes in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, but the injury wasn't as severe as initially expected, and he'll be available for this matchup. Expect Davis to handle his regular workload on offense, especially since LeBron James (illness) will be sidelined. Davis is averaging 21.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game since the beginning of December.

Davis (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Los Angeles against the Kings, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis went down with an ankle sprain in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, which resulted in him playing only seven minutes against Golden State. However, the sprain might not be as bad as initially thought, as he could play on Saturday when the team faces the Kings for a fourth and final time during the regular season. If Davis misses the matchup against Sacramento, head coach JJ Redick may have to turn to Christian Koloko more off the bench and rookie standout Dalton Knecht, who both got a bump in minutes against the Warriors.

Davis (ankle) says he is OK and will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Davis told ESPN he is fine and good to go for the Lakers' next game. This is great news for the Lakers, considering they barely escaped Golden State with a win that Davis mostly sat out. Perhaps the Lakers' injury report may include Davis before the weekend, but his personal update is a promising indicator that he will be available when they host the Kings. Even though they significantly affected Davis' shooting efficiency the last two times both teams played, he still finished those games with a strong defensive presence by averaging 17.0 rebounds and 4.5 blocks.

Davis (ankle) is able to walk without any support and is day-to-day going into Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis walking without any support is a positive update on his ankle, which had caused him to exit Thursday's game at Golden State and was in bad-enough shape that he was ruled out for the matchup. Before the Lakers play the Kings, Davis' ankle status is expected to be updated, and negative news on that front would likely mean his team depends on two-way player Christian Koloko a lot more in the post.

Davis (ankle) is out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis will finish Wednesday's game with zero points (0-3 FG), two rebounds and one assist in seven minutes. Without him available for Wednesday's matchup, the Lakers have had to rely on two-way player Christian Koloko at center or go with a small-ball rotation and no true center in the post. As for Davis, he will look to get back in shape before the Lakers host the Kings on Saturday.

Davis has been diagnosed with a left ankle injury, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis left the ongoing Lakers-Warriors game with an injury not disclosed immediately upon his departure. It took until halftime to publicize the big man's injury, diagnosed as one concerning his left ankle. Davis has yet to play since his game departure, leaving him with zero points (0-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal across his seven minutes of action.

Davis has headed to the Lakers' locker room due to an undisclosed issue, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

An undisclosed problem has limited to seven minutes of action, which saw him miss all three of his field goals but log two rebounds and one steal. He will be questionable to return, leaving the Lakers to continue running a small-ball rotation for the time being.

Davis (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis and LeBron James (foot) have both been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up for the Lakers' Christmas Day game. Davis hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, and over his last 21 appearances, he's averaged 24.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals in 35.1 minutes per game.

Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a left shoulder contusion, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the Lakers' injury report this season and is currently battling a bruised shoulder. He's missed just one game in 2024-25 and is averaging 35.5 minutes per game. Davis has logged a double-double in 13 of his last 14 outings.

Davis ended with 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 117-114 loss to the Pistons.

Davis didn't have his best scoring performance, as he failed to reach the 20-point mark for the second straight game, but at least he managed to extend his double-double streak to seven contests. Fantasy managers would expect a bounce-back effort from Davis sooner rather than later, but he continues to find ways to produce even when his shot isn't falling. Over that seven-game stretch with double-doubles, Davis is averaging 25.9 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.1 blocks per game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned if he has a couple of subpar scoring performances from time to time.

Davis (elbow) will play in Monday's game against the Pistons, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been playing through an elbow bruise for two games but has logged at least 35 minutes in both contests. He's expected to handle a full workload once again Monday. Davis has tallied a double-double in six consecutive games.

Davis (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was able to play through a left elbow contusion in Saturday's 103-99 win over the Kings, and he finished with 10 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 37 minutes. If Davis is unable to play Monday, that would give Christian Koloko a chance to make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season.

Davis closed Saturday's 103-99 win over the Kings with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 37 minutes.

Davis held things down in the paint for Los Angeles, leading all players in rebounds and blocks while ending second on the team in assists and as the lone player with a double-double. Davis has hauled in at least 15 boards in six contests, doing so in two straight outings. He has secured a double-double in 20 contests so far this year.

Davis (elbow) will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The writing was on the wall for Davis to play Saturday, as he was upgraded from questionable to probable hours before tipoff. Davis has logged a double-double in five straight games, averaging 30.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.4 blocks across 35.6 minutes during that stretch.

Davis (elbow) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Kings.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to probable Saturday despite dealing with a left elbow contusion. Davis has played more than 30 minutes in each of his last 10 appearances, so he should be able to handle a full workload if he's further upgraded to available.

Davis (elbow) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis briefly left Thursday's game against Sacramento with what was initially reported as a left shoulder injury. He managed to return and finished with 21 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals over 35 minutes in the win. Davis has now been diagnosed with a left elbow contusion, and while he's iffy to play Saturday, his ability to return to Thursday's game indicates that the injury isn't severe enough for him to be ruled out. Since and including Dec. 1, Davis has averaged 25.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.4 steals over 35.1 minutes per game.

Davis contributed 21 points (7-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 20 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 win over the Kings.

Although Davis (shoulder) exited the game briefly, he turned in a masterful total in a key victory over the Lakers' intrastate rival. His 20 rebounds were a season high by a wide margin, and he easily won the interior duel with Domantas Sabonis, who managed a lesser 18/12 total. Davis and LeBron James both have lingering injuries but are managing to play through them, although James' injury appears to be more serious. Despite the ailments, Davis has only missed one game this season, a significant achievement for the veteran.

Davis (shoulder) has been cleared to return to Thursday's game against Sacramento, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis made a quick visit to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's matchup but was quickly given the green light to continue. The team will undoubtedly monitor his shoulder injury closely moving forward.

Davis went to the locker room during the first half of Thursday's game against the Kings with an apparent left shoulder injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis suffered a should injury during Sunday's matchup with Memphis, and it appears the issue is still bothering him. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team reports otherwise.

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis continues to be a frequent flyer on the injury report, but he hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. He should be a full go for Thursday's clash.

Davis (foot) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Sacramento, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been tending to plantar fasciitis in his left foot throughout the season, but he's expected to play through the issue once again Thursday. It's encouraging to see him on the injury report with the foot issue after briefly exiting Sunday's contest due to an apparent shoulder injury. In his last four games, Davis has averaged 32.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.8 blocks, and 1.3 steals across 35.8 minutes.

Davis finished Sunday's 116-110 victory over Memphis with 40 points (15-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.

Davis tied his best scoring output of the season with an impressive performance, as he missed just seven of his 22 shots en route to leading the Lakers to a much-needed victory. The star big man has reached the 30-point plateau in three of his last four games while averaging 26.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.9 blocks per game since the beginning of December.

Davis (shoulder) is available to Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis exited the game in the third quarter with an apparent shoulder injury, but after being in the locker room for some time, Davis returned to the bench and is available to come back into the game.

Davis headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Grizzlies with an apparent shoulder injury, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis tried to stay in the game after being down on the court holding his shoulder but ultimately asked to check out before heading to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's contest. If he is unable to return, Christian Koloko could see extra run.

Davis (foot) is available for Sunday' game against the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis once again found himself on the injury report ahead of game time due to plantar fasciitis, but he will be able to play through it. After two subpar showings, Davis has bounced back over his last three, averaging 30.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 36.7 minutes per game over that stretch.

Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to this nagging injury, but the star big man isn't expected to miss time in the near future, so he should continue to suit up for the Lakers as long as he continues to get the probable tag. Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while averaging 21.0 shots per contest in the last two games where Los Angeles has been without LeBron James (foot), and fantasy managers can expect another high usage rate Sunday if James sits out again.

Davis registered 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 36 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Timberwolves.

Davis had a tough matchup against Rudy Gobert on both ends of the court, but that didn't stop the talented big man from notching his third straight double-double with multiple blocks. Davis has nine double-doubles across his previous 10 games, and he should continue to enjoy an uptick in his already-high usage rate as long as LeBron James (foot) remains sidelined. It's a very small sample size, but during the last two games in which James hasn't played, Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while averaging 21.0 shots per contest.

Davis (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a nagging case of plantar fasciitis on his left foot, but the star big man will continue to suit up and handle his regular workload at center. Davis is expected to see an uptick in his usage rate again with LeBron James (foot) sidelined. The star big man has averaged 23.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.8 minutes per contest in his previous 10 appearances.

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's game against Minnesota, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report while he deals with left foot plantar fasciitis, though he hasn't missed a matchup since Nov. 6. The star big man will continue to serve as the club's clear-cut top option with LeBron James (foot) sidelined for a second consecutive outing. Davis has cooled off slightly after a strong start scoring the rock this season, and in his last 10 outings he has averaged 23.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.8 minutes per contest.

Davis produced 30 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over Portland.

Even though role players such as D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura stepped up in this win, Davis carried the Lakers in the absence of LeBron James (foot). This was Davis' eighth double-double across his last nine games, and the five blocks also represented a season-high mark for the star big man. Davis is averaging 21.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in that nine-game stretch.

Davis (foot) isn't listed on the team's injury report for Sunday's game against Portland, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report this season due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he hasn't missed a matchup since Nov. 6. With LeBron James (foot) sidelined, Davis will serve as the clear top option for the Lakers. Over his last five outings, the big man has averaged 21.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals across 36.6 minutes per game.

Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike reports.

Davis has been a mainstay in the Lakers' injury report pretty much all season long, but the big man hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. Thus, he should handle his regular workload Sunday. He came close to posting a triple-double in the loss to the Hawks on Friday, registering 38 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. The star big man is averaging 22.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Davis posted 38 points (15-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime loss to the Hawks.

The veteran big was just one point behind LeBron James on the night, but the duo didn't get quite enough help to steal a road win. It was a strong bounce-back effort for Davis, who has scored just 20 total points over his prior two games while shooting 25.0 percent (7-for-28) from the floor. The double-double was his 15th of the season, tying Davis for fifth in the league behind only Domantas Sabonis (20), Karl-Anthony Towns (19), Giannis Antetokounmpo (17) and Friday's opponent, Trae Young (16).

Davis (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. The big man has struggled offensively over his last five outings, during which he averaged 17.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 43.4 percent from the field across 35.2 minutes per game. Davis has scored fewer than 20 points in three of his last five matchups, compared to just one such game over his first 16 outings.

Davis (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Hawks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to deal with left foot plantar fasciitis but is expected to make his 15th straight appearance Friday. Davis is averaging 34.6 minutes per contest over that span, indicating that he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction.

Davis (foot) is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat

Davis was tabbed probable for Wednesday's tilt, so it's not a surprise to see him suited up. Davis is averaging 27.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 combined steals-plus-blocks across 35.4 minutes this season.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to left foot plantar fasciitis.

Davis is expected to continue to play through the foot issue, but it may be impacting his effectiveness. Davis has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings after reaching that plateau in 14 straight games to begin the campaign.

Davis logged 12 points (4-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.

Davis had a rough shooting performance and ended up with more field goal attempts than points scored, something that's quite uncommon for the star big man. Davis should be able to bounce back relatively soon, as he's simply too talented to post these numbers on a regular basis going forward. That said, and as good as he's been this season, it's worth noting Davis has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings.

Davis (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to play through a lingering foot injury. He's made 12 straight appearances, averaging 26.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 35.0 minutes per game during that stretch.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Probable tags have been par for the course for Davis as he continues to manage his left foot issue. He was dominant in Sunday's win over the Jazz, producing 33 points (13-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals over 39 minutes.

Davis registered 33 points (13-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.

Although Davis is playing with a pesky foot injury, his production hasn't suffered. Sunday's result extended his double-double streak to five games, and also marked his 13th double-double of the season. The Lakers face a back-to-back game on the road against a tough Minnesota team Monday night. It may be tough for Davis to log a full game after en exhausting run against tough opponents over the past week.

Davis (foot) will play Sunday against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been dealing with nagging left plantar fasciitis, but he will be able to play through it once again Sunday. Davis has seen a slight dip in scoring of late, averaging 18.3 points per game over his last four contests compared to his 28.4 average for the season.

Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Jazz due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a regular name in the Lakers' injury report, but so far he's missed just one game this season. The probable tag suggests he shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload Sunday. Davis is averaging 25.6 points, 12.7 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor over his last nine appearances.

Davis recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, four blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-93 loss to the Thunder.

It's the 12th double-double of the season for Davis, including four straight and eight in the last nine contests. Over that nine-game stretch, the 31-year-old star is averaging 25.6 points, 12.7 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor.

Davis (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been dealing with plantar fasciitis throughout most of the campaign, but he remains available on a regular basis despite being a popular name on the injury report. Davis has been outstanding in recent weeks. The star big man is averaging 28.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to left plantar fasciitis, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a mainstay in the injury report due to a nagging plantar fasciitis, but the star big man has missed just one game this season. Hence, he's widely expected to be available for Friday's contest. Davis is averaging 28.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Davis posted 19 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-101 victory over the Spurs.

Davis was one of seven Lakers who scored in double digits in this comfortable win over the Spurs, but the fact that a 19-point effort qualifies as a "subpar" effort from Davis shows how dominant he's been on offense all season long. This was just the second time he hadn't reached the 20-point mark in 2024-25. Fully entrenched as the Lakers' go-to player on offense -- even ahead of LeBron James, Davis is averaging 28.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Davis (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

As has been the trend all season long, Davis will suit up and should handle his regular workload despite being mentioned in the injury report. The star big man has been outstanding for the Lakers this season and has recorded six double-doubles over his last seven appearances, averaging 28.0 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in that span.

Davis had a rough shooting performance Saturday and needed 19 shots to score 14 points. He was active on the glass and as a defender, but there's no question the Lakers need more from him on offense, especially in games against other contending teams in the Western Conference. This 14-point output marked a season-low output for Davis, but considering this was the first time he didn't reach the 20-point mark, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about the star big man having an off game from time to time.

Davis (heel) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis is returning from a one-game absence due to a bruised left foot.

Davis' two-way abilities have been crucial for the Lakers thus far, and another absence would likely land Jaxson Hayes (knee) in the starting lineup again.

Davis (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis and Rui Hachimura (illness) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest, marking the first absences from any Lakers starters yet this season. The Lakers rank 21st in defensive rating even with Davis thus far, so subtracting him will be a sizable loss on both ends. Jaxson Hayes is a top candidate to slide into the starting lineup.

Davis (ankle) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

Davis continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of tipoff, but it's a good sign that he's able to get some shots up with ease. He appeared to be moving well, but it's possible the Lakers wait and see how he feels after warmups before a decision is made.

Davis (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Davis is considered day-to-day after suffering a left ankle sprain during Monday's loss to the Pistons, so his questionable tag isn't surprising.

If he's sidelined, Jaxson Hayes would be a candidate to start at center if Los Angeles opts for a traditional first five.

Davis is day-to-day after suffering a left ankle injury during Monday's 115-103 loss to the Pistons, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis didn't seem overly concerned about the injury in the locker room after the game, stating he'll talk with his trainer to determine the extent of the issue and how to proceed. McMenamin notes that the team will treat this as a true day-to-day situation, so it'll be important to keep an eye on how Davis' ankle responds over the next few days. His status for Wednesday's game in Memphis is up in the air at this point.

Davis closed with 37 points (13-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 115-103 loss to the Pistons.

Davis posted 30-plus points for the sixth time through only eight regular-season outings. The big man said postgame he played through an ankle injury, though he's not yet sure that it will be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game versus Memphis, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic. Davis continues to dominate on both sides of the floor, and he has averaged 32.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.5 steals across 36.4 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings.

Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors

Davis appears to have suffered a minor hip injury during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs, but it's unlikely to keep him from Friday's clash. He'll likely test out his hip during morning shootaround before the team comments further on his availability.

Davis closed with 22 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 134-110 loss to Cleveland.

Davis has been nothing short of outstanding to start the season, recording three double-doubles across his first five appearances. The star big man recorded at least 20 points with eight boards in each game while also filling the stat sheet in the other categories. His role as the Lakers' main offensive weapon, even ahead of LeBron James, is set in stone this season and that should led him to deliver elite numbers across all formats.

Davis closed Monday's 109-105 loss to the Suns with 29 points (12-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes.

The fact that this 29-point output was Davis' lowest mark of the season goes to show just how dominant he's been for the Lakers in the early stages of the new campaign. The star big man has settled as the team's go-to threat on offense, even ahead of LeBron James, thanks to averages of 32.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game to open the campaign.

Davis provided 31 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 win over the Kings.

Davis and LeBron James are posting sky-high totals to begin the season, and the Lakers are a tough team to beat when both All-Stars are humming on all cylinders. Davis has averaged 34.0 points, 11.0 assists and 2.3 blocked shots over the first three games of the season.

Davis generated 35 points (11-18 FG, 13-17 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks across 38 minutes of Friday's 123-116 win over the Suns.

Per Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, head coach JJ Redick said Friday that the team intends to have Davis involved "as much as possible." The effort has shown up in the box score through two games, with Davis totaling 71 points and attempting 12 more shots than any other Laker. Davis averaged over 25 points per game in four straight seasons spanning 2016-17 to 2019-2020 but has eclipsed that number once in four seasons since. Davis could have his best statistical season in years if he remains the Lakers' offensive focal point.

Davis closed Tuesday's 110-103 win over the Timberwolves with 36 points (11-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.

Davis was dominant on both sides of the ball, and the duo of Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle was unable to contain him. Although Davis was the top producer, the entire roster performed well in their roles and played with an ease and confidence that were often absent last season. If Davis can stay healthy, an MVP-worthy season could be on the horizon.

Davis set the tone for the Lakers' season with a dominant outing in which he led the team in points, rebounds, blocks and minutes played. The 31-year-old big man recorded his 100th career game with at least 25 points and 15 rebounds. As LeBron James continues to age, Davis should keep receiving more and more of the offensive burden.

Davis (rest) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Timberwolves.

Davis sat out of the Lakers' final preseason game due to rest purposes, but he seems to be fully available for Opening Night. The All-Star is coming off a career-high 76 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 combined steals plus blocks across 35.5 minutes per game.

Davis (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

The Lakers will rest all of their starters and a few players who figure to contribute to the rotation, meaning head coach JJ Redick will play several young guys with the start of the regular season right around the corner. Davis should be healthy and ready to go for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 22.

Davis recorded 35 points (14-28 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-8 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Thursday's 128-122 preseason win over the Suns.

Davis tied Dalton Knecht for the team's lead in scoring, and if this preseason game taught us anything, it's that Davis is more than ready for the start of the regular season.

The Lakers gave the first unit more minutes on Tuesday, resulting in a higher total for Davis.The double-double is in line with what we should expect from Davis on a nightly basis in the regular season, although staying healthy is paramount for the veteran big man. He appeared in a career-high 74 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

Davis totaled 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three blocked shots, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks.

Davis (rest) will be held out of the Lakers' exhibition opener versus the Timberwolves, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Lakers will also be without LeBron James (rest), as they will likely be cautious with both his and Davis' minutes during the preseason. In the latter's absence, Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jaxson Hayes are candidates to see bigger roles in the frontcourt.

Davis is starting Wednesday's Olympic matchup against South Sudan.

Davis dealt with an illness ahead of the Olympics but was still able to suit up in Sunday's matchup against Serbia as the United States began Olympic play. He tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal in 19 minutes during the 110-84 win over Serbia and will replace Joel Embiid in Wednesday's starting lineup.

Coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that he expects Davis (illness) to play in Saturday's Olympic matchup versus Serbia, BasketNews.com reports.

After missing several practices for Team USA throughout the week, Davis is expected to play in the squad's opening game of the group phase. The 31-year-old will likely fight for playing time with Bam Adebayo behind Joel Embiid, although Kerr could switch up the rotation and opt to pair Embiid and Davis. Davis is coming off a great season, during which he played a career-high 76 regular-season games and averaged 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 blocks.

The injury certainly impacted Davis on the offense end of the court, forcing LeBron James and Austin Reaves to shoulder a heavy workload down the stretch.

Davis was questionable for Saturday's Game 4 due to his left wrist sprain, but he suited up and tallied 25 points, 23 rebounds, six assists and a block in 42 minutes. Assuming he's available Monday, it seems unlikely that he'll face any restrictions.

Davis provided 25 points (11-17 FG, 3-4 FT), 23 rebounds, six assists and one block in 42 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Davis was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to posting his first 20-point, 20-rebound performance since the win over the Bucks on March 28. Davis has been magnificent in the series despite the fact the Lakers are down 1-3, as he's scored at least 25 points and grabbed double-digit rebounds in each of the four contests. He needs to continue at a high level as a two-way threat if the Lakers want to have a shot at pulling the upset in Game 5 of the series.

Davis finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to Denver in Game 3 of the Western Conference's first round with 33 points (14-23 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes.

LeBron James has been the most influential all-around player for the Lakers in the series, but when it comes to putting up numbers, Davis has been leading the way since he's recorded at least 32 points with double-digit rebounds in the three games so far. Davis should be in line to handle another heavy workload in Game 4 on Saturday regardless of whether he's mentioned in the injury report or not.

Davis (back) is available for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As has been the trend throughout the regular season and the playoffs, Davis appears in the injury report but then is listed as available closer to tipoff. Davis has averaged 32.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in the first two games of the series against the Nuggets.

Davis (back) is probable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

AD played through the back issue during Game 2 and logged 39 minutes on his way to a 32-point, 11-rebound double-double, so it clearly didn't impact him all that much. We should get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Davis ended Monday's 101-99 loss to the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 32 points (14-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes.

Davis has led the Lakers in scoring in each of the first two games of the series, but despite producing back-to-back 30-plus point efforts in the matchup against Nikola Jokic, the Lakers have fallen short of victory both times. Davis will likely land in the injury report ahead of Game 3, but given the situation the Lakers are in, and the workload he's handled in the first two games of the series, the star big man shouldn't have problems being active Thursday.

Davis (back) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 2 against Denver, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was labeled as probable for Monday's matchup due to low back soreness, and he's since been given the green light to suit up. He'll need another big performance in Game 2 for LA to even the series.

Davis (back) is probable for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Despite his continued low back soreness, Davis will likely be able to suit up once again as the Lakers attempt to even the first-round series. He played 44 minutes in Saturday's Game 1 loss, totaling 32 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.

Davis had 32 points (12-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 44 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Davis led the Lakers in scoring and posted a massive stat line, but his efforts were not enough for the Lakers, as the Nuggets ran away with the game in the second half despite their slow start. Regardless of the outcome of this series opener, Davis was one of the top individual performers in Saturday's playoff slate, and he should continue to operate as a key asset for the Lakers on both ends of the court in Game 2 on Monday.

Davis (back) has been upgraded to available for Game 1 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Similar to what happens with LeBron James, Davis has been listed in the injury report pretty much the entire season but has been available for every important game, so his availability is not surprising here. The star big man should handle his regular workload, as well as his regular usage rate, in this series opener.

Davis (back) is probable for Saturday's Game 1 against Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis continues to be added to the injury report due to low back soreness, but the issue isn't expected to keep him out of Saturday's action. The team should confirm his availability closer to tipoff.

Davis contributed 20 points (6-16 FG, 8-10 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game victory over the Pelicans.

Davis was able to battle through back spasms in Tuesday's win and thinks the extra rest before Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets will allow him to fully recover, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. While the star big man struggled from the field, he hauled in a clutch offensive rebound off a LeBron James miss with 15 seconds and was able to convert on four free throws down the stretch to ice the game.

Davis (back) has been cleared for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis' aggravating his back/hip spasms in Sunday's win over New Orleans is troubling given that he has battled the affliction all season, but he appears to be no worse for the wear. A rematch against New Orleans pits Davis versus Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas, while Davis has averaged 21.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 blocks across four contests versus the Pelicans this season.

Davis (back) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In game against the Pelicans.

Davis landed awkwardly after a collision with Larry Nance during a rebounding attempt during Sunday's regular-season finale versus New Orleans and experienced hip and back spasms, knocking him out for the final five minutes of a blowout win. After the game, Davis and coach Darvin Ham downplayed the injury, but the Lakers' medical staff will have the final say on the big man's availability for Tuesday's rematch. Before leaving, Davis dominated the Pelicans, posting 30 points (13-17 FG), 11 rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes.

Davis (back) confirmed he intends to play against the Pelicans on Tuesday in the Play-In Tournament, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. "There's no doubt I'm gonna play (on Tuesday)," he told reporters following Sunday's win over the Pelicans.

Davis said the injury wasn't concerning, and it seems he doesn't have any doubt regarding his availability for Tuesday's rematch against New Orleans. The medical staff will have the final saying regarding his availability, but Davis has been mentioned in the injury report and then being able to handle a full workload pretty much the entire season. The star big man finished Sunday's 124-108 win with 30 points (13-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes.

Head coach Darvin Ham said Davis experienced hip and back spasms after being pushed in the air by Larry Nance Jr. and landing awkwardly, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Ham is "extremely optimistic" regarding the availability of Davis moving forward, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet adds.

Davis headed to the locker room during Sunday's win over the Pelicans, and even though the Lakers won by a 124-108 score, Davis' health will be the team's primary focus over the next few days ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans. Ham's words are optimistic, however, and there might be a scenario in which Davis doesn't miss any time. Davis finished Sunday's win with 30 points (13-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes.

Davis has gone to the locker room after suffering a lower body injury during Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis limped off the court after he appeared to get pushed on a rebound attempt in the fourth quarter. The Lakers held a sizable lead at the time, so it seems unlikely Davis will return. If that's the case, all attention will turn to Davis' availability for the Play-In Tournament rematch against New Orleans on Tuesday.

Davis (eye) has been cleared for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Unsurprisingly, Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both active for a climactic regular-season finale Sunday. A Lakers win would result in the Pelicans slipping into the Play-In Tournament, while Phoenix would move into the sixth seed in the Western Conference -- allowing Los Angeles to dodge them initially.

Davis (eye) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers are expected to be close to full strength for the season finale, as LeBron James (ankle) is also expected to suit up. Davis recently dropped 36 points (11-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies.

Davis logged 36 points (11-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 victory over the Grizzlies.

Davis missed Tuesday's loss to Golden State due to a headache and nausea, but he was able to suit up for Friday's contest. He and fellow All-Star LeBron James combined for 73 points in a key win that helped propel the Lakers to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. Including Friday's performance, Davis has put up at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks on five occasions this season. The Lakers can clinch the No. 8 seed with a win in Sunday's regular-season finale in New Orleans but could fall to as low as 10th with a loss, so Davis and the rest of the team's starters figure to suit up and play their full allotment of minutes.

Davis (head) is available for Friday's game against Memphis, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This was the expectation with Davis carrying a probable tag prior to this update. In addition to Davis, LeBron James (ankle) also has the green light to suit up.

Davis (head) is probable to face the Grizzlies on Friday.

The probable tag suggests Davis is trending in the right direction after he missed Wednesday's loss to the Warriors due to a headache and nausea. The star big man will be key for the Lakers' playoff hopes, however, and Los Angeles will be as cautious as possible regarding his health with only two games left in the regular season. Davis has averaged 24.5 points, 14.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

Davis is out for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors due to a headache and nausea, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Davis suffered an eye injury against Minnesota that appears to now be causing a headache and nausea, causing him to sit out against Golden State. Jaxson Hayes will likely start in his absence. Davis' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Memphis.

Davis (eye) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was forced to leave Sunday's clash against the Timberwolves after suffering an eye injury, and his availability for Tuesday is currently up in the air. He'll likely need to prove his health in morning shootaround to have a chance to suit up.

The Lakers are optimistic that Davis (eye) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis exited Sunday's game against Minnesota in the first half after being struck in the eye, and he was unavailable down the stretch. Prior to his departure, he tallied four points (2-6 FG), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 12 minutes. However, it certainly sounds possible that the center will be back in action Tuesday without missing any additional time.

Davis won't return to Sunday's game after getting hit in the eye, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis left the game early in the first quarter after taking a shot to the face and he will not be able to return. His status for Tuesday's game against the Warriors is now in question.

Davis went back to the locker room after taking a shot to the face during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis appeared to take a hit near his left eye before heading back to the locker room for treatment. Jaxson Hayes will likely be called upon to fill in for Davis and the already shorthanded Lakers.

Davis (knee) is available for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't particularly surprising that he'll be able to suit up against the Timberwolves. He's posted double-doubles in nine consecutive appearances, averaging 26.8 points, 16.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 37.6 minutes per game.

Davis is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a hyperextended left knee, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis' injury designation is likely more attributed to workload maintenance than a flare-up, especially in the context of dropping 22 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, three steals and six blocks in Saturday's win over Cleveland. Davis has dealt with lingering knee soreness since the end of March, but he hasn't missed a game since March 27.

Davis had 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-97 win over the Cavaliers.

D'Angelo Russell led the Lakers in scoring, and LeBron James was an efficient playmaker, but Davis stood out on both ends of the court and delivered an impressive stat line across the board, filling out the stat sheet admirably and racking up at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Davis is also on a stretch of nine straight double-doubles while recording multiple blocks five times in that span.

Davis (knee) will play and start in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Although he has been an injury report regular, Davis has missed just one game since Feb. 3. Thus, it is not surprising to see him get the green light here. Barring any setbacks with his knee, look for the star big man to take on his usual workload in the frontcourt.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to be day-to-day with his hyperextended left knee. In Wednesday's 125-120 victory over the Wizards, Davis recorded 35 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 15-15 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 38 minutes.

Davis registered his 61st double-double of the season Wednesday, and he is third in the NBA in that category behind Domantas Sabonis and Nikola Jokic. Davis made all 15 of his free throws, which marks a season high. The important thing for Davis and the Lakers is that the All-Star has managed to stay on the court, as he's played 72 of the team's 77 games this season. Since the All-Star break, Davis is averaging 24.5 points on 55.8 percent shooting, 14.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals over 36.0 minutes per game.

Davis (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both questionable for the second night of a back-to-back set after the Lakers dominated the Raptors on Tuesday night.

Davis had 21 points (10-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Raptors.

The Lakers were up 21 points heading into the fourth quarter, otherwise Davis might have seen more court time and posted even better numbers. He still delivered his 60th double-double of the season and his seventh straight, and Davis has averaged 26.3 points, 16.3 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals during the streak.

Coach Darvin Ham said Tuesday that Davis (knee) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Wizards "in all likelihood", Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis is listed as questionable for a second straight game with a left knee hyperextension designation. He got the green light Sunday and posted 24 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in 35 minutes during a 116-104 win over Brooklyn. However, Tuesday is the front half of a back-to-back set, so the Lakers may opt to proceed with caution. LeBron James (ankle) is also questionable for Tuesday.

Davis posted 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds and three blocks over 35 minutes in Sunday's 116-104 win over Brooklyn.

Despite entering the game questionable with knee discomfort, Davis led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds and blocks while ending second on the team in scoring and as one of two Lakers players with a double-double performance. Davis has hauled in 10 or more boards in six straight games, adding 20 or more points in all six of those outings. He has now recorded three or more blocks in three of his last five appearances.

Davis (knee) is available and will start Sunday's game against the Nets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both available after garnering questionable tags. Davis has appeared in 23 of the Lakers' last 24 contests, averaging 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 35.8 minutes per game during that stretch.

Davis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets with a left knee hyperextension, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis was previously playing through bilateral Achilles soreness, but it's his knee that's been giving him issues lately. He's played through two straight questionable tags, however, and he was very productive in those outings as well.

Davis ended Friday's 109-90 loss to Indiana with 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes.

The veteran big led the Lakers in scoring while delivering his 58th double-double of the season, third in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis (69) and Nikola Jokic (60).

Davis (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis (knee) is questionable to play Friday against the Pacers.

Davis missed Wednesday's game in Memphis, which resulted in Jaxson Hayes drawing a spot-start, and he finished with 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one turnover across 30 minutes. If AD is forced to miss another game, Hayes would make sense as a potential streaming option.

Davis (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out on the second leg of Los Angeles' back-to-back Wednesday due to a left knee injury. Jaxson Hayes will likely replace him in the starting five. Davis' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.

With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Davis led the Lakers to a comeback win over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Tuesday, finishing with 34 points, 23 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 52 minutes during a double-overtime affair. Given the hefty workload, Davis' appearance on the injury report may be precautionary during the second night of a back-to-back set, but it's worth mentioning the knee issue is new for Davis, who was previously playing through bilateral Achilles soreness.

Davis finished with 34 points (12-31 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 23 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in 52 minutes during Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime win over the Bucks.

There were a lot of rebounds available with both teams combining to hit just 40.1 percent of 228 shots in Tuesday's slugfest. That being said, Davis was undeniable, and his rim protection featured blocking a Damian Lillard's layup at the end of overtime, as well as winning the interior battle against Giannis Antetokounmpo down the stretch. It wasn't his most efficient outing, but Davis also stepped up with clutch threes, as Tuesday represented just his fifth occasion with multiple made threes this season. His 23 rebounds represented the third-highest total of his career.

Davis (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a nagging Achilles injury. With LeBron James (ankle) out, Davis will likely shoulder a larger offensive load against Milwaukee.

Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Davis will continue to play through the lingering Achilles issue, but it looks like LeBron James (ankle) will take a seat Tuesday, as he's listed as doubtful. While Davis should play Tuesday, he may take a seat for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back set Wednesday in Memphis.

Davis amassed 36 points (15-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 victory over the Pacers.

Davis (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to suit up once again. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game.

Davis (Achilles) is probable to face the Pacers on Sunday.

Davis has been included in the injury report in almost every Lakers game this season. Still, if history is of any indicator here, then he shouldn't have problems playing and logging his regular workload Sunday. Davis is averaging 19.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across nine March appearances.

Davis amassed 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Friday's 101-94 win over the 76ers.

The double-double was his 55th of the season, as Davis extends his career high in the category while sitting third in the league behind Domantas Sabonis (65) and Nikola Jokic (57). The 31-year-old center has been almost automatic for a double-double since the All-Star break, failing to record one only once in 14 games, and he's averaged 22.6 points, 13.5 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.4 steals over that stretch.

Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play Friday against the 76ers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis (Achilles) is probable to play Friday against the 76ers.

Davis has been playing through the Achilles issue most the season, and it looks like he'll continue to do so Friday night. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tip-off.

Davis provided 22 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 136-105 victory over the Hawks.

Davis exited early due to a corneal abrasion in Saturday's loss to Golden State, but the big man was able to recover in time to suit up two days later. Davis didn't seem to be affected by the eye injury, as he went a sharp 10-for-14 from the field while notching his 54th double-double of the campaign, which is third-most in the NBA. Among the best news this season for Davis' fantasy managers is that he's been able to avoid serious injuries, as he's missed just four games all season and has taken the court in each of the Lakers' past 19 contests. His 65 games played overall this season is already his highest total since 2017-18.

Davis (eye) is active Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis exited Saturday's loss to Golden State after 12 minutes upon suffering a corneal abrasion, but the team has been consistently optimistic about his status, and he went through his typical warm-up procedure Monday, so he should be unrestricted in Monday's outing.

Davis exited Saturday's game against the Warriors due to his injury, as his eye was swollen shut, and he was experiencing impaired vision.

Davis (eye) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has officially been diagnosed with a corneal abrasion in his left eye after being poked in the eye during Saturday's loss to the Warriors. The injury has his status in the air Monday, but Davis stated that his vision has improved since the initial incident, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he is ultimately unable to go, Jaxson Hayes should be in line for extended run.

Davis' left eye was swollen shut and he was experiencing impaired vision after he exited early in Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis sustained what was described as an abrasion with 2:47 left in the first quarter, when he was poked in the left eye by the Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis. Though he initially played though the issue, Davis' eye began to swell up before he made a visit to the locker room. The Lakers then ruled Davis out for the game midway through the third quarter. According to McMenamin, Davis is scheduled to be monitored throughout Sunday's off day before the Lakers determine his status for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.

Davis suffered a corneal abrasion during Saturday's game versus the Warriors and will not return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He finished with eight points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 12 minutes.

Davis left the game during the first quarter, sat out the entire second quarter, and then was ruled out roughly halfway through the third. Corneal abrasions are typically day-to-day issues, but it will depend on the severity. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Monday's game versus Atlanta.

Davis headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an apparent eye injury, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis left the game in the first quarter and has yet to return to action, so there's a chance the incident might have been more severe than initially expected. If he can't return, then LeBron James would likely handle a more prominent role on offense, whereas Jaxson Hayes would be in line to see more minutes as his potential replacement at center.

Davis (Achilles) is in the starting lineup to face the Warriors on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

In what has been a trend throughout the season, Davis was listed in the injury report but will be available here. The star big man, who's expected to have a chippy duel against Draymond Green all night long, has averaged 24.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 blocks across 36.0 minutes over his last 17 appearances.

The star big man has averaged 24.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 blocks across 36.0 minutes during that span.

Davis (Achilles) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, as he continues to battle soreness in both of his heels. It's notable that the Lakers didn't mention his shoulder issue, so fantasy managers will be hoping that's behind him.

Davis closed Sunday's 120-109 win over the Timberwolves with 27 points (9-17 FG, 9-13 FT), 25 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and seven steals in 39 minutes.

It was a career night for Davis, who logged a career-high seven steals, a season-high 25 rebounds along with three blocked shots and 27 points. With Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) absent, Davis had a field day in the interior, and the Timberwolves were unable to stop him.

Davis (shoulder) will play in Sunday's tilt against the Timberwolves, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis tweaked his left shoulder during the win over the Bucks on Friday, and it sounds as if he'll be a game-time call for the matchup against the Wolves. Davis has been a regular in the Lakers' injury report all season long, but this is an injury that might make him miss a game or two, though everything will depend on his recovery process.

Davis tweaked his left shoulder during Friday's 123-122 win over Milwaukee, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports. He finished with 22 points (10-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 41 minutes.

Davis was able to close out the game, but he looked to be pretty uncomfortable after taking a hit from Giannis Antetokounmpo's elbow. Davis said after the game that he's sore and didn't have much mobility with his shoulder, but he will get treatment and will be re-evaluated Saturday. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Sunday against Minnesota.

Davis ended up sitting for the entire fourth quarter after the Lakers pulled away, joining LeBron James on the bench for the final stanza. The team will face intrastate rival Sacramento at home Wednesday evening, so the extra time on the sidelines should keep him fresh for the tangle opposite Domantas Sabonis.

Davis (Achilles) is starting against the Wizards on Thursday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

As has been the trend all season long, Davis will suit up and handle his regular workload despite being affected by a lingering Achilles issue. Over his last 10 games, the star big man is averaging 24.4 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.8 blocks per game.

Davis (illness/Achilles) will play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, but he's also dealing with an illness that forced him to miss practice Tuesday. For now, fantasy managers can expect the big man to suit up against the Clippers even though he won't be 100 percent.

Davis did not practice Tuesday due to an upper respiratory illness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis being ill is not ideal in advance of the Lakers' upcoming back-to-back set Wednesday and Thursday against the Clippers and Wizards. He still has over 24 hours to recover, but the Lakers' rotation would be thin in his stead with Christian Wood sidelined due to knee swelling -- potentially leaving Jaxson Hayes as the lone remaining traditional center available.

Davis supplied 22 points (11-17 FG), 14 rebounds, two blocks and three steals over 42 minutes during Sunday's 123-113 loss to Phoenix.

Davis shook off a probable tag Thursday and posted 27 points (11-19 FG), 15 rebounds and three blocks in 33 minutes during a loss to the Warriors.

Davis amassed 27 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to Golden State.

With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Davis was forced to shoulder the load and finished as the only Laker to score over 20 points. He picked up where he left off before the break, notching his third consecutive double-double. Although Davis is an elite fantasy option on his own, production tends to increase for the All-Star when James is absent.

Despite having extra time off during the All-Star Break, Davis remains on the Lakers injury report with Achilles and hip issues -- the same injuries that consistently put him on the injury report in the first half of the season.

Davis (Achilles/hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

Davis has only missed four games so far this season but continues to deal with nagging Achilles and hip injuries. If the Lakers opt to hold out the star big man for the second leg of their back-to-back Wednesday, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood should receive increased playing time.

Davis totaled 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and six blocks across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 win over Detroit.

Davis was dominant against the lowly Pistons, who couldn't keep up with the Lakers after a competitive first half. Davis' six blocks was one short of a season high, and the All-Star increased his double-double streak to six games. The Lakers will take on Utah Wednesday in the final game before the All-Star break, and although Davis will play, he may see a slight drop in minutes to be fresh for the weekend's festivities in Indianapolis.

Davis (Achilles/hip) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with nagging injuries to his hip and Achilles. With Los Angeles on the first leg of a back-to-back, it wouldn't be surprising for Davis to play reduced minutes against a struggling Detroit team.

Davis has suited up in four consecutive contests for the Lakers, averaging 22.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 3.0 blocks in 35.0 minutes per game.

Both Davis and LeBron James (ankle) have played in each of the Lakers' last three contests despite receiving questionable tags. If Davis is able to suit up Friday, he will have ample time to recover ahead of the team's next game against Detroit on Tuesday.

Davis notched 32 points (14-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Nuggets.

The Lakers stood pat at the trade deadline, and it might be a decision the team ends up regretting as Davis and LeBron James were only players in the lineup Thursday to score more than 15 points. The 32 points represented Davis' best performance since he hung 41 on the Raptors on Jan. 9, but the veteran center has topped 20 in nine of his last 11 contests, averaging 24.1 points, 12.5 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 steals over that stretch despite some nagging injuries that cost him two games in late January/early February.

Davis (hip/Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was labeled questionable on the Lakers' initial injury report due to lingering hip and Achilles issues that caused him to miss a pair of contests.

Davis racked up 26 points (12-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, 11 assists and three blocks across 37 minutes during Monday's 124-118 win over the Hornets.

It's the second triple-double of the season for Davis and the third of his career, with his only other one coming during the 2017-18 campaign when he was still with New Orleans. The 30-year-old center has a double-double or better in nine of his last 10 games, averaging 23.3 points, 12.9 boards, 5.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.7 percent from the floor. His 40 double-doubles on the season puts him third in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis (45) and Nikola Jokic (42).

Davis racked up 12 points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 win over New York.

Davis only recorded two offensive rebounds, and both came on the same play in the opening minutes of the game. Additionally, his cold shooting night was exacerbated by going scoreless in the second half until free throws in the final seconds. It's fair to wonder if a myriad of injuries gradually takes its toll on Davis throughout the game, but his presence is still critical for Los Angeles and he brought great activity on the defensive end Saturday.

Davis (Achilles/hip) will play in Saturday's game against New York, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.comreports.

Davis took a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, marking his first absence since Dec. 15, but he'll have a chance to return Thursday.

Davis played through the issue Monday, posting 23 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 29 minutes during a double-digit loss to Houston. However, the All-Star center will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set, marking his first absence since Dec. 15. Jaxson Hayes started that contest in place of Davis and saw 20 minutes, while Christian Wood played 30 minutes off the bench. A similar situation could unfold Tuesday, though Jarred Vanderbilt is also a candidate for increased playing time as a small-ball five.

Davis (Achilles/groin) will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus Atlanta, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was questionable heading into Monday's loss to Houston due to Achilles soreness, but he has also played through ankle, groin and hip injuries throughout January. Davis said that his groin flared up in the second half of Monday's game, limiting his movement on both ends of the court. The 30-year-old has now labored through two consecutive contests, and his streak of 22-consecutive starts is in jeopardy of ending with the Lakers closing a back-to-back set Tuesday.

Davis (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against Houston, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Davis was trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, so this latest update isn't a big surprise. The big man is averaging 23.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks in his last five contests (35.6 minutes).

Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

The double-double was the eighth straight for Davis and the 38th of the season -- putting him third in the league behind Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis, who each have 40. Davis is putting the finishing touches on another strong month, averaging 24.8 points, 11.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals through 13 games in January.

Davis (hip spasms) has returned to Saturday's game against the Lakers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis collided with Draymond Green in the third quarter, and briefly exited the game with what the Lakers have called hip spasms. He has since re-entered the game and appears to have avoided significant injury.

Davis went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Warriors after taking a knee to the thigh, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers' bench woke up enough to absorb some of LeBron James' (ankle) missing production, so Davis didn't have the customary big number he usually compiles when his All-Star teammate is absent. D'Angelo Russell led all scorers for the purple and gold, leaving Davis as the second-highest option.

Davis (Achilles) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has played in 17 straight games despite being a mainstay on the injury report, but he finds himself with a new injury designation this time around. If he is unable to go, Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood would be candidates for increased run.

This is a new issue for Davis, as the Lakers usually list him as probable due to left ankle concerns.

Davis posted 28 points (12-17 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 127-110 win over the Mavericks.

Davis led the Lakers with 12 boards and finished one point behind D'Angelo Russell for the team lead in scoring, but it was his work as a distributor that stood out. The big man recorded a team-leading nine assists in the victory just two games after posting a season-high 11 dimes Saturday against Utah in a triple-double effort. Davis has actually been picking up his playmaking for nearly a month -- after averaging 3.0 dimes over the first 27 games of the campaign, he's dished an average of 5.2 assists over 13 contests since Dec. 23. He's already top-five fantasy asset with per-game averages of 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.2 steals, and he could make a push to ascend even higher if he can continue his recent development as a passer.

Davis (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to deal with a left ankle sprain/bone bruise, and it's worth noting that he's deemed questionable for Monday's matchup after being listed as probable before recent games. However, he hasn't missed a game since Dec. 15, and he posted a triple-double in Saturday's loss to the Jazz.

Davis ended with 15 points (5-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, 11 assists, four blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 132-125 loss to the Jazz.

with LeBron James (knee) sidelined, Davis did his best to prop up the team and notched his first triple-double of the season as a result. James is the more likely triple-double threat due to a higher assist average, but Davis picked up the slack in that department by sending the ball out to D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves at the perimeter. The adjusted role limited his scoring total somewhat, but it shouldn't be a concern for fantasy managers who depend on Davis for production.

Davis (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has missed a total of two games this season and continues to brush off probable tags with his lingering ankle issue. He's looking at a larger role on the offensive end Saturday, as the Lakers are without LeBron James (ankle).

Davis (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis hasn't missed a game since Dec. 15. Over his last 13 appearances, he's averaged 27.9 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 steals in 37.5 minutes per game. Barring a setback, Davis should play and face no restrictions versus Utah.

Davis (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Suns.

Despite being on the injury report on a regular basis, Davis has missed only two games this season. Davis is off to a hot start in January, averaging 30.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks through four games.

Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis has missed just two games so far this season and isn't expected to do so Thursday despite dealing with a nagging ankle injury. The star big man is coming off a season-high 41 points against the Raptors and logged 40 minutes.

Davis ended Tuesday's 132-131 victory over the Raptors with 41 points (13-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 13-14 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 40 minutes.

Davis sunk 13 of 14 attempts from the charity stripe, which was a point of contention for Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic after the narrow defeat. He accused the officials of preferential treatment for Davis' inside plays over his frontcourt, who weren't getting the fouls called under the basket. Davis was relentless against the Raptors, who were without Jakob Poeltl (ankle) and had to settle with Thaddeus Young under the basket for most of the game.

Davis (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday as he continues to play through a nagging ankle injury. The star big man is averaging 39.4 minutes of playing time across his last five appearances.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

Davis carrying probable tags has been par for the course lately. He's off to a strong start in January, posting averages of 27.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.7 blocks and 2.0 steals.

Davis (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup and will officially be able to suit up once again. Across his last five outings, he's averaged 27.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 3.6 blocks and 1.8 steals in 36.8 minutes per game.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This will be the fourth straight probable tag for Davis as he continues to battle this lingering ankle issue. He's off to a hot start in January, averaging 30.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 3.5 blocks and 1.5 steals in his last two games.

Davis closed Friday's 127-113 loss to the Grizzlies with 31 points (13-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 41 minutes.

Although Davis and LeBron James are producing at an incredibly high level, wins have been hard to come by. Fantasy managers can confidently use both players, but the duo desperately needs support from the rest of the lineup to release their full potential. The return of D'Angelo Russell (lower body) and the resurgent play of Austin Reaves will help matters, and the return of Rui Hachimura (calf) will give Davis much-needed relief.

Davis (ankle) is good to go for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Both Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are ready to roll for Friday. Davis had one of his best games of the season on Wednesday versus Miami, putting up 29 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steals.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against Memphis, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This will be the third game in a row that Davis will carry a probable tag. He's been listed as questionable for the majority of the season, so this is a good sign. In his most recent outing against Miami on Wednesday, Davis had 29 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steals.

Davis finished Wednesday's 110-96 loss to Miami with 29 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steals over 43 minutes.

Davis was on track to an even bigger total until the fourth quarter, when the Heat brought Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love on the floor together in an effort to control the paint. Davis could only manage three points against them, effectively squelching the Lakers' best chance of success. Davis is usually unstoppable, and opposing defenses have to resort to extreme measures to contain him. The Heat found an answer by going big in the final stanza. Despite the loss, Davis' work through three quarters earned him an excellent fantasy total.

Davis (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Heat, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was initially tabbed probable for Wednesday's tilt with a left ankle injury, but as expected, he'll face the Heat. Over his last eight appearances, Davis is averaging 28.4 points,11.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.9 combined steals/blocks.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game versus Miami with a left ankle sprain, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

Davis also has a bruise on his left ankle, but these are the same injuries he's been listed with for several weeks. However, Davis has only missed two games this entire season. Fantasy managers can anticipate that he'll most likely be in the lineup Wednesday.

Davis chipped in 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pelicans.

Davis saw his streak of games with 25 or more points snap at five, but he still has four double-doubles over his last five contests, and his two-way impact has been noticeable this season. An argument could be made to say Davis is the Lakers' go-to player on offense now that LeBron James is running the point, and the numbers back that up. Since the start of December onwards, Davis is averaging 28.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per contest.

Davis (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.

Davis was carrying a probable tag prior to this update, but the Lakers were always planning for him to play in both games of this back-to-back set. LeBron James (illness, knee) will also be active for the Lakers. Davis fared well in Saturday's loss to Minnesota, producing 33 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis played 39 minutes in Saturday's two-point loss to Minnesota, totaling 33 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks. The superstar center will likely be back in action Sunday, but LeBron James (knee, illness) is questionable, while D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) and Cam Reddish (groin) have been ruled out.

Davis (ankle) will play versus Minnesota on Saturday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but that's been a common trend this season. Despite being a regular on the injury report, Davis has played in 30 out of 32 games this season.

Davis is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left ankle bone bruise.

Davis and LeBron James (knee) are on the injury report once again, but the former has appeared in six straight games and has missed just one contest since Nov. 10. Over his last six appearances, Davis has averaged 29.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes per game. If Davis is sidelined, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would all be candidates for increased roles.

Davis notched 26 points (11-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 133-112 win over Charlotte.

The veteran center was the high scorer on the night, as Davis topped 25 points for the fourth straight game and the ninth time in 11 December contests. He's averaging 28.9 points, 12.1 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals on the month and has even found success from three-point range, shooting 47.1 percent on fairly low volume (8-for-17). Health remains the biggest concern for Davis, but so far so good in 2023-24 -- he's missed only two of the Lakers' 32 games.

Davis (ankle) has been cleared for Thursday's game versus the Hornets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was carrying yet another questionable tag prior to this update, and that's been par for the course. He was terrific in Monday's game against Boston, pouring in 40 points with 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes.

Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Hornets, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While Davis has consistently been listed on the injury report due to a bone bruise and sprain in his left ankle, the star big man has suited up in each of Los Angeles' last five contests. Davis is averaging 29.6 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in 38.6 minutes across that span.

Davis chipped in 40 points (15-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 126-115 loss to Boston.

Davis recorded one of his best scoring performances of the 2023-24 campaign, but not even that was enough to lift the Lakers to victory here against Boston in a new chapter of one of the league's oldest and most intense rivalries. Davis has been an absolute double-double machine this season, reaching that feat in all but one of his 10 December outings, a span in which he's averaging 29.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 53.9 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range.

Davis (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup against the Celtics, Lauren Jones of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Despite another questionable tag, Davis will suit up for a fifth straight game. Over his last four appearances, the superstar big man has averaged 27.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 38.5 minutes per game.

Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Celtics.

Davis has been present on most injury reports over the last month due to different ailments, this time he finds himself questionable due to a left ankle sprain. If he is unable to go, Rui Hachimura (wrist, probable) and Christian Wood would likely see extra minutes.

Davis supplied 26 points (11-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 42 minutes during Saturday's 129-120 victory over the Thunder.

Davis was productive, as usual, as both a scorer and rebounder, but he also shined with a season-high seven assists. The superstar center added a steal and a pair of blocks to round out a superb overall line. Davis had his 15 game double-double streak snapped against Minnesota in his previous game, but he didn't wait long to get another streak going. He's tied for second in the NBA with 24 double-doubles on the campaign.

Davis (ankle) will start Saturday's game against the Thunder, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

In what has been a trend all season long, Davis will start and handle his regular workload despite being originally listed as questionable. He's averaging 28.5 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Davis (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Davis continues to deal with an ankle issue, but he's appeared in the last three matchups. While he snapped a streak of 15 consecutive games with double-doubles during Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves, it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up again Saturday.

Davis notched 31 points (11-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 39 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to Minnesota.

With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined again, Davis carried the scoring load for the Lakers and produced 30-plus points for the fourth time in his last five games. He saw his streak of 15 straight double-doubles come to an end against Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), however. Davis has stayed mostly healthy and is putting together one of his most impressive campaigns, with his 2.6 blocks a night being his best performance in that category since 2017-18.

Davis (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Davis played 38 minutes Wednesday against Chicago. With LeBron James (calf) taking the night off, Davis has even more usage coming his way.

Davis (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis continues to deal with an ankle injury and is questionable for the second half of a back-to-back set. LeBron James (ankle), another regular on the injury report, has been ruled out, so Davis' status is somewhat murkier since the Lakers are in the midst of a back-to-back set. If he's forced to miss Thursday's matchup, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes could see an uptick in usage.

Davis ended with 19 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 loss to Chicago.

Davis was unable to top 30 points in a fourth consecutive appearance Wednesday, but he remained effective on the boards to finish with his 15th consecutive double-double. While he was unavailable for last Friday's loss to the Spurs, he hasn't missed a beat upon his return, playing at least 35 minutes in each of his last two outings. Since the start of December, he's averaged 27.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 36.4 minutes per game.

Davis (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis held a questionable tag leading into the game, but he will officially be available in Chicago. The star big man has averaged 29.8 points, 13.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals in 36.0 minutes per game over his last five contests.

Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been on nearly every injury report this season, but he's only missed two games so far. It's worth noting that Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set with a game against Minnesota scheduled for Thursday, so there's always a possibility for a maintenance day for Davis and LeBron James (calf, questionable).

Davis posted 32 points (14-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 114-109 loss to the Knicks.

Davis and LeBron James continue to defy their injury tags and push through with sizzling totals. Davis missed Friday's game against the Spurs but came back with a massive line, extending his double-double streak to 14.

Davis (hip/groin) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was considered questionable leading up to Monday night's matchup, but he'll be ready to go after missing Friday's clash in San Antonio. He's coming off a pair of 37-point performances and should be able to shoulder a full workload barring any further setbacks.

Davis (hip/groin) is questionable for Monday's game against New York, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis was unavailable for Friday's game against the Spurs but will be in the mix to return against the Knicks. If he sits out once again, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood (illness) are candidates to see increased run.

Davis (hip/groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out after being spotted in sweats ahead of pregame warmups. It'll be the big man's first absence since Nov. 8. In Davis' stead, Jaxon Hayes and Christian Wood are candidates for increased roles. Davis' next chance to suit up will come Monday versus the Knicks.

Davis (hip) is listed as questionable, but he was spotted wearing sweats in the locker room before pregame warmups, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis hasn't been formally downgraded, but it sounds like he's trending toward doubtful after playing in both halves of the Lakers' back-to-back set earlier this week. During those contests, Davis averaged 37.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks, so his potential absence Friday may just be precautionary.

Davis (groin/hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis continues to carry questionable tags for the Lakers, but so far, he's managed to fight through the pain. He's appeared in 17 straight games, though he has taken a couple knocks to his hip in recent games. Despite being less than 100 percent, Davis managed to put up 37 points in 38 minutes against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Davis chipped in 37 points (13-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-119 win over San Antonio.

The Lakers were without LeBron James (calf) for this one, so Davis was the undisputed first option on offense against a struggling Spurs team, and he fully delivered while carrying the Lakers to a harder-than-expected victory. The star big man has been on a roll of late and has scored at least 27 points in six of his last seven outings, with back-to-back 37-point outings included. Davis is averaging a robust 26.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across his last 10 contests.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with nagging hip and groin injuries. With LeBron James (calf) out, Davis will likely take on a larger offensive burden against the Spurs.

Davis (groin/hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report in recent weeks, but he's suited up for the last 16 games. Although the team is playing the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up once again after he tallied 37 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Dallas.

Davis notched 37 points (15-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 127-125 loss to Dallas.

Davis led all players in Tuesday's game in scoring and rebounds while leading the Lakers in blocks and shots made from the field in another double-double performance. Davis has recorded a double-double in all but three games this season, doing so in 13 straight contests. He has posted at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in two consecutive games.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis will suit up for his 16th straight game Tuesday despite being consistently listed on the Lakers' injury report. There is no indication that the star big man will be on a minutes restriction.

Davis (groin/hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.

Davis continues to manage his left adductor/hip, but he has appeared in 15 consecutive games for the Lakers. Upon a victorious In-Season Tournament championship run, the 30-year-old could be due for occasional load management, so his status in advance of Tuesday's contest should be monitored.

Davis had 41 points (16-24 FG, 9-13 FT), 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 41 minutes during Saturday's 123-109 victory over the Pacers.

There are games in which LeBron James carries the Lakers to victory, and there are games in which Davis takes over and leads the team, and Saturday's matchup against Indiana was the latter. The big man dominated from start to finish and posted one of his best efforts of the campaign on the national stage, carrying Los Angeles to winning the first-ever In-Season Tournament title. He was so good that he posted season-best marks in points and rebounds while ending just one assist away from tying his season-best output in that category. Davis is averaging 25.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.1 blocks per game across his last 10 outings.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As is usually the case, Davis was carrying a probable tag into Saturday's contest prior to this update. He has no restrictions to speak of and will be a full go for the In-Season Tournament Finale. Davis will be matched up against Myles Turner on Saturday evening.

Davis (groin/hip) is probable for Saturday's In-Season Tournament finale.

Probable tags are par for the course for Davis, yet he's missed just a single game this campaign. He's expected to be a full go for the Championship with no word of any restrictions, as per usual.

Davis posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-89 win over the Pelicans.

Davis was the perfect sidekick for LeBron James on Thursday, as he was excellent on the glass, on defense and as a playmaker, but he also made shots when he had to, finishing with a strong double-double and a massive stat line. Davis has no problem being the top option on offense for the Lakers, but he is at his best when supplementing James as a second-best alternative who can get it done on both ends of the court. Davis will try to keep it going Saturday when the Lakers take on the Pacers in the final of the In-Season Tournament.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis' trend of playing through probable tags continues. The big man has missed only one game of the campaign and has been the fifth best player in nine-category formats so far.

Davis (groin/hip) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has continued to receive probable tags due to hip spasms and a left adductor injury. However, he's only missed one game on the season and has appeared in 14 straight contests -- including two back-to-back sets -- so fantasy managers should expect him to give it a go once again Thursday.

Davis contributed 27 points (10-26 FG, 7-8 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 victory over Phoenix.

Davis owned the glass for the Lakers, leading all players in Tuesday's game in rebounds while finishing second on the team in scoring and ending as the lone player with a double-double in a winning effort. Davis has recorded a double-double in 10 straight games, having hauled in 15 or more boards on five occasions this year.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been carrying probable tags for weeks, so his availability Tuesday wasn't in serious jeopardy. He's likely to see his normal workload against the Suns.

Davis (groin/hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is unsurprisingly back on the injury report leading up to Tuesday's matchup, but he should be cleared to play closer to tipoff. He's coming off another impressive showing Saturday against the Rockets, scoring 27 points to go along with 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 37 minutes.

Davis registered 27 points (10-22 FG, 7-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 victory over the Rockets.

Davis extended his double-double streak to nine games Saturday. When Davis is healthy, there are few players who can contain him, and although he has some lingering hip pain, you wouldn't know it from his totals. Only Nikola Jokic sports a higher rebound average then Davis, who is averaging 12.5 boards per game.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.

Davis has been playing through probable tags for weeks, but he certainly hasn't looked limited. In his most recent game versus the Thunder on Thursday, Davis poured in 31 points with 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

Davis (groin/hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.

No surprise here, as Davis has been carrying this same probable tag for weeks. In his last two appearances, Davis was hot with averages of 29.5 points, 15.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals.

Davis ended with 31 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 loss to the Thunder.

Davis has settled himself as the Lakers' main scoring weapon almost on a regular basis, and he delivered another strong showing here, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Lakers to victory. Despite the team's overall struggles, Davis continues to produce and has delivered elite value across the board in fantasy. Over his last five games, he's averaging 23.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.

Davis (groin/hip) will play Thursday against the Thunder, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

As expected due to his initial probable tag, Davis will suit up despite some hip soreness. He's coming off a strong performance against the Pistons in a blowout win and now faces one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA.

Davis (groin/hip) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Thunder.

Despite dealing with nagging hip and groin injuries, Davis has missed just one game so far this season. The star center has also avoided any minutes restrictions, averaging 33.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Davis totaled 28 points (9-15 FG, 10-13 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 win over the Pistons.

It was the seventh straight double-double for Davis and his 15th in 18 games. Perhaps the most encouraging thing about the 30-year-old's start to the season has been that he's stayed mostly healthy -- Davis hasn't played more than 62 games in a season since 2017-18, but he's missed only one contest so far in 2023-24. During his double-double streak, he's averaging 22.3 points, 13.3 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals while shooting 58.9 percent from the floor.

Davis (groin/hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis, LeBron James (calf) and Cam Reddish (groin) will all be available, so the Lakers should trout out their preferred starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 21. Despite consistently being listed on the injury report, Davis has been stellar over the last 10 games, averaging 20.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes per game.

Davis (groin/hip) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons.

Despite Davis and LeBron James (calf) consistently receiving injury tags, the star duo have each missed just one game this season. Davis has played in both legs in all three of the Lakers' back-to-backs this season without being on a minutes restriction.

Davis chipped in 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 138-94 loss to Philadelphia.

Davis was impressive in the early stages of the game and carried the Lakers on offense in the first minutes of the opening quarter, but he disappeared since then and ended up absorbed by Joel Embiid, who dominated him on both ends of the court with ease. Davis has now failed to reach the 20-point plateau in four of his last seven outings, though his contributions in other categories more than make up for the nights when his shot isn't falling.

Davis (hip) is available for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in a 10th straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 20.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.1 steals in 34.4 minutes per game.

Davis (hip) is probable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.

Davis continues battling left adductor/hip spasms, which has been an ongoing injury designation throughout November. He has started the Lakers' past eight games and logged a full workload Saturday, posting 32 points in 38 minutes, placing on track to play Monday.

Davis ended with 32 points (13-20 FG, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 win over the Cavaliers.

Davis did his best work in the second half, scoring 23 points to help lead the Lakers to a win in a game that was close throughout. The scoring output was a nice bounce-back by the star big man after he recorded just 10 points versus Dallas in his previous contest. Davis also got back into the groove as a shot blocker, swatting three shots Saturday after he had posted just two blocks over his previous three games combined. He still leads the NBA with 2.9 blocks per game on the campaign.

Davis (hip) will play Saturday against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

As expected, Davis will suit up and will lead the Lakers on the road against the Cavaliers. Davis has been outstanding of late and has recorded a double-double in each of his last four appearances.

Davis is listed as probable for Saturday's contest in Cleveland due to hip spasms, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has routinely been given this designation while he continues to battle a hip issue, but he has been playing through it. He appears to be trending towards a similar result Saturday, but final confirmation on his availability is unlikely to come until closer to tip-off Saturday.

Davis finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 loss to the Mavericks.

Davis was his usual effective self on the boards, but his offensive performance was below his usual standards. The big man finished with just 10 points overall and was held scoreless in the fourth quarter despite the fact that the Lakers put up 30 points and stormed back from a big deficit in the period. Though Davis has been solid overall this season, he has had some offensive clunkers -- in addition to Wednesday's subpar outing, he's scored just nine points in a contest on two occasions. Fantasy managers shouldn't fret given Davis' consistency as a rebounder and shot-blocker as well as his overall body of work offensively, but there may be reason to wonder if the left adductor and hip spasms he's been dealing with impacted his scoring output to some extent in Wednesday's loss.

Davis (hip/groin) is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available despite dealing with left adductor and hip spasms. The superstar big man leads the NBA in blocks per game at 3.1.

Davis (hip/groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis continues to battle left adductor and hip spasms, but he's appeared in seven straight games and will likely suit up again Wednesday. During that stretch, Davis has posted six double-doubles, averaging 20.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.7 minutes per game.

Davis totaled 26 points (11-14 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 victory over Utah.

Davis's 16 rebounds in Tuesday's win tied for his second-highest mark of the season. The star big man has recorded a double-double in all but three of his 14 appearances this season. Davis is also enjoying a monstrous defensive season, averaging 3.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 2023-24.

Davis (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

This was the sixth straight probable tag that Davis has cleared as he continues to fight through the pain. With Tuesday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, we're likely to see another probable tag prior to Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Davis (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Lauren Jones of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Davis continues to deal with a hip/adductor injury, but it's not expected to cause him to miss Tuesday's matchup. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.

Davis supplied 27 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 105-104 victory over the Rockets.

Davis was deemed available ahead of Sunday's matchup and delivered an excellent performance, posting his fifth double-double over the last six contests. The star big man has had a few subpar performances in the scoring column, but more often than not, he's posted excellent numbers on both ends of the court while operating as the Lakers' go-to player on offense at time, even ahead of LeBron James. Davis is averaging 20.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 3.3 assists per game in November.

Davis (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Khobi Price of So Cal News Group reports.

Davis was listed as probable coming into the game but will officially be available to play. He will look to have a bounce-back game offensively after averaging just 12.5 points on 39.3 percent from the field over the last two contests.

Davis (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis is dealing with two injuries at the same time, a left adductor problem and a hip spasm, but it seems neither of these problems is severe. If nothing odd occurs, Davis should handle his usual workload against Houston.

Davis produced 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 107-95 win over the Trail Blazers.

Davis was quiet his last time out, putting up just nine points and nine boards in a loss to Sacramento on Wednesday. A lingering hip injury may have contributed to that subpar performance, but the All-Star big man turned things around with his ninth double-double of the campaign Friday. Davis also continued to wreak havoc on the defensive end with five blocks, and he's now swatted a total of 15 shots over his past three games. Though his scoring is slightly down so far this season, Davis ranks fourth in the NBA with 11.8 rebounds per contest and first with 3.5 blocks per game.

Davis (hip) will play in Friday's game against Portland, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Probable tags have been the norm for Davis in recent games, but he continues to fight through the pain. He'll be looking to bounce back Friday after the Kings held him to nine points on Wednesday.

Davis (hip) is listed as probable to face the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Davis is dealing with hip spasms and a left adductor injury, but the fact that he was listed as probable suggests he has a strong chance of being available despite being less than 100 percent. Davis is looking for a bounce-back performance after notching nine points and nine rebounds across 35 minutes against the Kings on Wednesday.

Davis amassed nine points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and four blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 loss to the Kings.

Davis' nine points Wednesday tied for a season-low as he failed to record a double-double for just the third time this season. However, his game-high four blocks ensure that the star center has recorded at least one block in all of his appearances so far in 2023-24. While Davis is still an elite fantasy producer, his five turnovers against the Kings contributed to his minus-13 point differential.

Davis (hip/adductor) will play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis was tabbed probable for the contest with a left adductor strain and hip spasms, but he's officially been given the green light. Over his last three outings, Davis has averaged 22.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.0 blocks across 34.6 minutes.

Davis accumulated 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 134-107 victory over the Grizzlies.

Davis might be limited because of the adductor injury that has been bothering him of late, and while his scoring numbers might be affected because of that, he has three double-doubles in three contests since returning from a one-game absence earlier this month. Davis has eight double-doubles in 10 games this season.

Davis (adductor) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

No surprise here, as Davis was carrying a probable tag prior to this update. In addition to Davis, LeBron James (calf) has also been given the green light to play. Davis was everywhere in Sunday's win over Portland, pouring in 30 points with 13 rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 41 minutes.

Davis (adductor) is probable to play Tuesday against Memphis, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.

Davis is dealing with a left adductor/hip spasm, but he appears on track to play. LeBron James (calf) is considered questionable for the contest, which makes Davis' availability important to monitor.

Davis notched 30 points (10-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 41 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 win over the Trail Blazers.

LeBron James (calf) missed his first game of the season, paving the way for a massive night from Davis. He showed no ill effects from the groin issue that slowed him down last week, and carried the Lakers to the victory with help of Rui Hachimura. Davis now has seven double-doubles this season.

Davis (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

As expected, Davis has been upgraded from probable to available, but LeBron James (calf) has been ruled out. In James' absence, Davis will have to step up offensively. Across eight appearances this season, Davis has averaged 23.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.0 blocks in 36.8 minutes per game.

Davis is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Portland due to a left adductor/hip spasm, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to deal with a lingering injury, but he was able to take the court Friday against the Suns and should do so again Sunday night. Expect confirmation on his status to arrive closer to tipoff.

Davis (hip/groin) will play in Friday's game against the Suns, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This was the expectation after Davis was upgraded to probable Friday afternoon. With Davis back in the lineup, it's likely that Christian Wood will head back to the bench after the dud he had in Wednesday's game.

Davis (hip/groin) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday's game against the Suns, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Davis missed Wednesday's game against Houston due to his injury and initially appeared to be a toss-up for Friday's matchup, but he'll now have a good chance to return following a one-game absence. It's unclear whether Davis will face any limitations if he's ultimately cleared to play Friday.

Davis (hip/groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers throwing another questionable tag on Davis suggests that he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to play Friday, we could see more of Christian Wood and Rui Hachimura. Wood will certainly have a lot to prove, as he's coming off a dud in which he was held scoreless in 22 minutes against Houston on Wednesday.

Davis (groin) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a groin injury he suffered Monday. Christian Wood will likely start in his absence. Davis' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.

Davis (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis limped to the locker room before halftime of Monday's game after suffering a hip/groin spasm. Davis return to start the second half, but he ultimately had to re-exit the game shortly after. It appears to be a day-to-day injury for Davis, but his availability for Wednesday's game is to be determined.

Davis didn't play in the fourth quarter during Monday's game against the Heat, and head coach Darvin Ham didn't have an update on the big man's status after the contest, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis managed to start the third quarter after experiencing a spasm of his groin during the first half, but he was clearly in discomfort and went to the locker room halfway through the quarter, per Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet. Davis would briefly re-enter the contest down the stretch of the third before sitting the entire fourth quarter. It's unclear whether Davis will miss additional time while tending to the injury, but his status will be worth monitoring leading up to Wednesday's matchup in Houston.

Davis (groin) is on the court to start the third quarter of Monday's game against Miami, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Lakers were unsure if Davis would be able to go in the second half after experiencing a spasm of his groin, but he was cleared to play after going through warmups.

Davis had a spasm of his groin and is being evaluated to determine whether he can play in the second half of Monday's game against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis was spotted on the court warming up for the second half, so he'll likely get checked out by the team's medical staff before the start of the third quarter to see if he can continue in this one. Christian Wood would be in line for additional playing time if Davis is unable to go.

Davis closed Saturday's 120-101 loss to Orlando with 28 points (10-15 FG, 8-8 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and seven blocks over 32 minutes.

Davis boomed for a season-high seven blocks and was extremely efficient on the offensive end, but he still finished with a team-worst minus-24 net rating. The Lakers dug a 14-point hole by the end of the first quarter and never closed the gap, but Davis' individual production was great for fantasy managers.

Davis ended Wednesday's 130-125 overtime victory over the Clippers with 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals in 48 minutes.

Davis tied for second on the Lakers in scoring behind LeBron James' 35 points, and he finished with 10 boards to record his fourth straight double-double. The big man also continued his standout work on the defensive end, notching a season-best four swats to finish with multiple blocks for the fifth straight game to begin the campaign. Davis gets occasional (and perhaps unwarranted) slack for what is perceived as a lack of consistency, but he's been a dominant force to begin the season, tallying at least 26 points, 10 boards and three blocks in four of his five games thus far.

Davis notched 26 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 19 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 106-103 victory over the Magic.

Davis shows no sign of stopping, and that's nothing but good news for the Lakers, who need his production inside. Davis' numbers have been stellar, so the 2-2 record isn't due to a lack of effort from the All-Star. Better backcourt play provided more balance on Monday, which helped every starter. Davis' most impressive stat is his blocked shot total. Over four games, he's swatted 11 balls.

Davis chipped in 30 points (11-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 42 minutes during Sunday's 132-127 overtime loss to the Kings.

Davis scored 30 points for the second consecutive game, and his rebound totals over the first three games of the season have been exemplary. With Davis and LeBron James fully healthy, the duo will be able to rack up the wins for the Lakers despite dropping this game to the Kings on the road.

Davis finished Thursday's 100-95 win over Phoenix with 30 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals over 39 minutes.

It will be difficult to beat the Lakers this season when Davis and LeBron James are both healthy. After a mediocre beginning against the Nuggets, Davis turned on the gas and delivered a signature performance. The All-Star recorded 13 points and five rebounds in the fourth quarter to help erase the Suns' 12-point lead, joined by a 10-point, four-rebound showing from James to seal the win.

Davis ended with 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Davis struggled from the field and finished with an equal amount of points and field goal attempts, something that's not positive for any player, especially one that lives and dies near the rim. Davis had a tough matchup since he had to deal with Nikola Jokic, and he should deliver improved numbers -- especially in terms of efficiency -- in the upcoming contests.

Davis posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six blocks and two rebounds in Thursday's 123-100 preseason loss to the Suns.

Davis's six blocks were a game high. The star big man's defensive impact helped him post a minus-three point differential despite suffering a blowout loss. Davis also held Phoenix's center, Jusuf Nurkic, to just three points.

Davis recorded 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 19 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 preseason loss against the Bucks.

Davis is expected to be one of the Lakers' main offensive weapons when the regular season starts Oct. 24, but he's already showing dominant traits in the preseason with his stellar two-way play. Through four preseason contests, Davis is averaging 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks across only 17 minutes per game.

Davis finished with 13 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal over 22 minutes against Golden State in an exhibition loss Friday.

Davis didn't shoot particularly well and didn't block any shots, but he still posted a fantasy-friendly 13/6/4 line given his limited minutes. The big man sat out the Lakers' previous preseason contest, but that was likely just for rest purposes as his 22 minutes Friday were his most on the exhibition slate thus far. Davis is averaging 13.7 points and 6.0 boards in just over 16 minutes per game thus far in preseason action as he gears up for his 12th NBA campaign.

Davis (undisclosed) has the green light to play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been alternating games played and nights off through four exhibition games this preseason. He logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 13 minutes in his first game. The veteran big man will continue to ramp things up Friday as he prepares for the regular-season.

Davis (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Though it hasn't been disclosed exactly why Davis won't play, it's likely just a rest day for Davis considering LeBron James (rest) is also getting the night off. After logging 15 points and five rebounds against the Warriors in the Lakers' preseason opener, he'll have another opportunity to face Golden State on Friday.

Davis recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 13 minutes in Saturday's 125-108 preseason loss to the Warriors.

Davis was the focal point of the Lakers offense when on the floor, and the star big man looked impressive on both ends of the court, emerging as the team's alpha dog with LeBron James (rest) sidelined. Davis' role as one of the go-to players for the Lakers is completely settled, and he's simply getting reps in order to be ready for the regular season opener against the Nuggets.

The Lakers signed Davis to a three-year, $186 million contract extension Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Davis has established himself as one of the best big men in the NBA and has now signed the largest annual extension in league history at $62 million per season. The 30-year-old center is tied to the Lakers until 2028. Davis averaged 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.1 steals in 34.0 minutes across 56 games in 2022-23 and should continue to be the team's focal point along with LeBron James.

Davis provided 21 points (6-15 FG, 9-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 113-111 loss to the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Davis hauled in a team-high rebound total en route to posting a 20-point, 10 rebound performance for the third time of the Western Conference Finals series. Davis recorded a double-double in 13 of 16 postseason appearances.

Davis (foot) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis and LeBron James will play Monday despite both players dealing with nagging foot injuries. Davis will likely play big minutes in Game 4 with Los Angeles on the brink of elimination.

Davis (foot) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with his right foot stress injury, but he's been able to suit up recently and will likely do so again Monday as the Lakers attempt to avoid elimination. He's averaged 28.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 blocks in 41.7 minutes per game over the first three games of the series.

Davis (foot) will play in Saturday's Game 3 versus Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis will suit up for Saturday's tilt after being handed his usual probable designation. Through the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, Davis has averaged 29.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 blocks across 41.5 minutes.

Davis (foot) is probable for Game 3 versus the Nuggets on Saturday, according to Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com.

LeBron James (foot) is also probable for the Lakers. Davis has been listed as probable for the entire postseason for the same reason, so his status isn't in any real doubt for Game 3.

Davis totaled 18 points (4-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 108-103 loss to Denver in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

Davis struggled from the field and failed to replicate his 40-point outburst from Game 1, but he still provided his usual production on the glass and on defense. Across 14 appearances this postseason, the veteran big man has averaged 22.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.2 blocks across 37.6 minutes per game. Despite his strong play in other categories, the Lakers will presumably need Davis to perform better on offense if they're going to get back into the series.

Davis (foot) is available to play in Game 2 against the Nuggets on Thursday according to Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com.

Just like LeBron James (foot), Davis has been listed as probable with this foot injury for the entire postseason. Outside of a minor head injury in the previous series against Phoenix, Davis' health status has never really been in doubt for several weeks.

Davis (right foot stress injury) is probable for Thursday's Game 2 versus Denver, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has earned a probable designation in every playoff game thus far due to the right foot issue but has yet to miss a contest. After exploding for 40 points and 10 rebounds in Game 1, fantasy managers should be eager to go back to the well with Davis for Game 2.

Davis ended with 40 points (14-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 loss to Denver in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Davis led all scorers with 40 points in Tuesday's Game 1 loss, adding five combined steals and blocks, turning in a dominant performance on both ends of the floor. Despite the loss, the Lakers will head into Game 2 full of confidence after pushing the Nuggets, overcoming a slow start. The Lakers will need Davis to be at his best on a nightly basis should they hope to upset the top-seeded Nuggets. Given what we have seen from him thus far in the playoffs, he certainly looks up to the challenge.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday, as he has been dealing with a nagging foot injury all playoffs. The star center averaged 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.0 minutes across his previous two matchups with Denver this season.

Davis is considered probable for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Nuggets on Tuesday despite a right foot stress injury, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

There's no cause for worry here, as Davis has held the same probable designation throughout the playoffs and hasn't missed a game. Look for him to claim his usual spot among the starting unit as he prepares for an All-Star showdown with Nikola Jokic.

Davis notched 17 points (5-9 FG, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 122-101 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Davis set the tone early for Los Angeles, recording nine points and 10 boards in the first quarter. Though he didn't maintain that pace the rest of the way, the big man still led all players with 20 boards while contributing his usual difference-making defense, finishing with a pair each of steals and blocks. This was the second time in Los Angeles' 12 playoff contests this season that Davis has pulled down at least 20 boards, and he's leading all players in the postseason with 14.1 rebounds per game. With the Lakers moving on to the Western Conference Finals, Davis will next face off against the Nuggets, against whom he averaged 18.3 points, 11.0 boards, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks over three regular-season matchups.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Game 6 versus the Warriors on Friday according toMike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet.

There was some initial concern about Davis' head when he left Game 5 early and was escorted away in a wheelchair, but the head injury wasn't even the reason he was on the latest injury report. Instead, the Lakers placed his usual probable tag for a foot injury that has lingered for weeks. All signs point to Davis seeing his usual workload.

Davis (foot) is probable for Game 6 versus the Warriors on Friday according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.

The big takeaway here is that the Lakers are no longer mentioning the head injury that Davis suffered at the end of Game 5. Davis has been carrying probable tags for weeks due to his foot, so it certainly looks like he will be a go for Game 6.

Davis (head) is probable for Friday's Game 6 against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was escorted away from Wednesday's Game 5 in a wheelchair after taking a shot to the head, but he isn't in the league's concussion protocols and will likely be available Friday. He's averaged 22.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 37.0 minutes per game over the first five matchups of the series.

Davis (head) is expected to be available for Friday's Game 6 versus the Warriors barring a setback, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Despite injuring his head in Game 5, it appears that Davis has managed to avoid concussion protocols. However, the Lakers should release an official injury report later Thursday to determine the star center's status.

Davis (head) appears to have avoided a concussion based on the early diagnosis,Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

This is a huge relief after we learned that Davis was escorted out in a wheelchair for additional evaluation following an elbow to the head from Kevon Looney. In addition to this report from Haynes, Lakers coach Darvin Ham expressed optimism about Davis' status as well.

Davis (head) will not return to Game 5 versus the Warriors on Wednesday according to Chris Haynes of Turner Sports.

Davis took an inadvertent shot to the face from Kevon Looney, and it may have hit his eye as well. The Lakers were trailing by a good bit when the injury happened, so it's possible that the Lakers are being extra cautious. We'd imagine he should be fine for Game 6 on Friday.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Game 6 versus the Warriors on Wednesday according to Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com.

No surprises here as Davis sheds yet another probable tag before tip-off. LeBron James (foot) is also good to go as the Lakers roll out their usual starting five.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Warriors due to a right foot stress injury, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Anthony has consistently received probable tags throughout the playoffs, but his nagging foot injury hasn't yet forced him to miss a game. The star center is averaging 21.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 3.7 blocks, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 37.2 minutes across the first 10 games of the postseason.

Davis finished Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 23 points (10-16 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and three steals over 43 minutes.

Davis is averaging 22.3 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.8 steals through the first four games of the second-round series. The All-NBA talent has caught slack for his lack of availability in recent years, but now that he's healthy, he's proving why he was considered one of the best players in the league early in his career.

Davis (foot) will play in Monday's Game 4 against Golden State, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis has been a frequent flyer on the injury report throughout the postseason, but his availability wasn't really in doubt. He's coming off a strong 25-point performance in Game 3.

Davis is probable for Game 4 against the Warriors on Monday due to a right foot stress injury.

Davis has been given a probable tag ahead of nearly every Lakers' postseason game to this point, so he should be good to go for the team's pivotal Game 4 matchup.

Davis supplied 25 points (7-10 FG, 11-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-97 victory over the Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Against the Warriors, it appears that a fast start from Davis is key to the Lakers' success. The Warriors clearly have a height disadvantage, especially with Kevon Looney's limited involvement and JaMychal Green's inferior play. It's likely that Davis will emerge as the top fantasy option for the team, as his increased usage has equated to notches in the win column.

Davis (foot) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Nothing surprising here, as it would take a catastrophe for Davis to sit in any of the remaining playoff games moving forward. He's coming off an 11-point, seven-rebound, four-assist performance in Game 2 of the series, and the Lakers need him to deliver a better outing if they want to recover the series lead.

Davis is probable for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Warriors due to a right foot stress injury.

Davis has consistently received probable tags throughout the playoffs before being upgraded to available. The star center should be good to go Saturday and will look to have a bounce-back performance after his poor outing in Game 2.

Davis ended with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-100 loss to the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

After a stellar 30-point, 20-rebound performance in Game 1, it was disappointing to see Davis attempt only 11 shots in Game 2, his second fewest of the postseason. He also committed a game-high four turnovers and didn't play in the fourth quarter, along with the rest of Los Angeles' starters, as Golden State increased its lead to 30 points after three periods. The Warriors opted to start Draymond Green at center with Kevon Looney (illness) not at 100 percent Thursday, so Green's defensive prowess presumably played a role in Davis' poor offensive night. It'll be interesting to see how Golden State matches up in Game 3, as Green shifting to Davis also appeared to have a ripple effect that allowed LeBron James to get hot in the first half. Either way, the Lakers will likely need Davis and James at their best to avoid giving back home-court advantage over the next two games.

Davis (foot) will play in Game 2 versus the Warriors on Tuesday, Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation reports.

No surprises here as Davis and LeBron James (foot) shed yet another probable tag. Davis is coming off a monster showing in Game 1 in which he scored 30 points with 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.

Davis is probable for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Warriors with a right foot stress injury, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the Lakers' injury report due to the lingering foot issue and will once again earn a probable designation. Despite this, Davis has yet to miss a playoff game. In seven playoff appearances this season, Davis has averaged 22.1 points, 15.0 rebounds and 4.3 blocks over 37.4 minutes.

Davis provided 30 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 44 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Golden State in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Davis scored 14 first-quarter points to set the tone and dominated on both ends of the court all night long. He ended with game highs in points, rebounds and blocks while finishing second on the team in assists behind D'Angelo Russell. Davis posted 20.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 4.3 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals during the six-game series against Memphis, and he appears ready to take advantage of another favorable matchup in Round 2, as Kevon Looney figures to remain Davis' primary defender while Draymond Green is tasked with slowing down LeBron James.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Warriors.

Davis and LeBron James are both set to play Tuesday despite dealing with nagging foot injuries. Davis averaged 25.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 32.0 minutes across his previous two matchups with Golden State this season.

Davis is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Warriors, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has yet again been added to the injury report, but he should continue to play through the foot injury. He averaged 20.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.3 blocks over six contests during the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Davis provided 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 28 minutes during Friday's 125-85 victory over Memphis in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Similar to LeBron James, Davis got some much-needed rest in a game the Lakers closed out early, and the 28 minutes represented his lowest total of the series by a wide margin. Davis recorded five double-doubles in six games during the first round, and his two-way play will be key for the Lakers in the Conference Semifinals regardless if they play the Warriors or Kings. The star big man averaged 20.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 4.3 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the series.

Davis (foot) is in the starting lineup for Game 6 versus the Grizzlies on Friday.

LeBron James (foot) and Davis (foot) were carrying probable tags before this update, but that's par for the course and not anything to worry about. Davis has been playing at an elite level so far in this series with averages of 21.8 points, 13.6 rebounds and 4.2 blocks.

Davis is probable for Friday's Game 6 against the Grizzlies due to a right foot stress injury, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Considering Davis has been listed as probable in each of the first five games of the series but has suited up every time, fantasy managers should expect Davis to be a full-go Friday. Davis has had an up-and-down series thus far, having scored over 30 points twice while also having two games with less than 15 points. Regardless, he has been a dominant interior force, averaging 13.6 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game in the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Davis ended Wednesday's 116-99 loss to Memphis in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 31 points (14-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes.

Davis led all Lakers players in scoring and rebounds while surpassing the 30-point mark and finishing one board shy of the 20-rebound total in Wednesday's Game 5. Davis has posted a double-double in four of the five postseason games, tallying at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in two of his last three outings.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Game 5 versus Memphis on Monday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis was being listed as "probable," so there was never much doubt about his playing status for Wednesday. Through the first four games of this series, AD has registered averages of 19.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 triples, 1.8 steals and a whopping 4.8 swats per contest on 42.6 percent shooting from the field and 81.8 percent at the stripe.

Davis (foot) is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Grizzlies, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis, LeBron James (foot) and Dennis Schroder (foot) are all listed as probable again, but they've suited up for each game of the opening-round series thus far. Davis struggled offensively in Game 4, but he's averaged 19.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 39.0 minutes through the first four matchups versus Memphis.

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 4 against the Grizzlies, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to play through a foot injury but hasn't shown many signs that the issue is impacting him. He put together an impressive stat line Saturday in Game 3, tallying 31 points, 17 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks over 39 minutes.

Davis (foot) is probable to play in Game 4 versus Memphis on Monday.

The Lakers continue to list AD as probable, and he continues to play through the foot issue. Check back closer to tip-off for official confirmation on Davis' status.

Davis supplied 31 points (11-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 win over the Grizzlies in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Davis and LeBron James put together one of the best first quarters in the team's history, running up a 26-point lead on the Grizzlies in the first 12 minutes. Davis compiled eight points and eight rebounds in the first stanza, and kept the foot on the gas with 15 points and four rebounds in the third quarter. Davis has double-doubled in two of three games against Memphis in the series.

Davis (foot) is in the starting lineup for Game 3 against the Grizzlies on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

By now, seeing Davis in the injury report with a probable tag should be par for the course, but the big man shouldn't have any restrictions for this pivotal matchup. The star big man will try to bounce back from a subpar performance in Game 2, where he posted 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 38 minutes.

Davis (right foot stress injury) is listed as probable for Game 3 versus the Grizzlies on Saturday.

LeBron James (foot) is also carrying a probable designation, but the Lakers have made a habit of doing this with their two superstars. Davis will be looking to bounce back in Game 3 after being held to 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting in Game 2 Wednesday.

Davis totaled 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 103-93 loss to the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

The Lakers need Davis to be at their best, as there will be games in which LeBron James won't be able to carry the team on his own, and the star big man failed to show up in this one, ending with more field goal attempts (14) than points scored (13). The Lakers need Davis to step his game up on Game 3 to avoid going down in the series.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Wednesday's Game 2 versus Memphis, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

It's possible that AD will be listed as "probable" for the remainder of the playoffs. He'll get out there and should see his usual minutes Wednesday, and he'll look to build off an impressive, Game 1 performance in which he came away with 22 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a whopping seven swats over 37 minutes.

Davis is listed as probable for Game 2 versus the Grizzlies with a right foot stress injury, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Without saying as much, Davis is essentially getting the green light to suit up. the fact that his shoulder isn't listed as an issue on the report is additionally encouraging, as he was temporarily forced to leave Game 1 after suffering a "stinger." All signs point to Davis taking the floor and assuming his usual role as the Lakers look to claim a commanding 2-0 series lead in Memphis.

Davis had 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, seven blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 128-112 victory over Memphis in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Davis went to the locker room late in the second quarter holding his shoulder, but he returned in the second half and posted a stellar all-around performance, including a season-high seven blocks. After the game, head coach Darvin Ham said the Davis' shoulder should be fine moving forward and described the injury as a "stinger."

Davis (shoulder) is available to return to Sunday's Game 1 tilt against Memphis, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis went to the locker room ahead of halftime with what appears to be a stinger, but he's back on the court during warmups and should play in the second half. The superstar big man was superb in the first half, totaling 10 points (5-10 FG), six rebounds, four blocks, two assists and two steals.

Davis headed to the locker room during Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday due to an apparent shoulder injury, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis got tangled with Jaren Jackson in the final seconds of the second quarter, and the star big man headed straight to the locker room to be examined, but the early signs did not look promising. Losing Davis would be a massive blow for the Lakers, both for this game and the team's potential playoff run, as he's been the team's best player in the last few weeks. If he can't keep playing, then Wenyen Gabriel or Mo Bamba would be in line for bigger roles.

Davis (foot) will be available and start in Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

As expected, Davis will be available for the series opener and should feature in his regular starting role. More important, though, is the fact that head coach Darvin Ham said neither he nor LeBron James will have restrictions when it comes to their workload in the series, so it's safe to assume Davis' minutes could hover around the mid-to-high 30s. Davis averaged 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 blocks across 34.0 minutes per game during the regular season.

Davis is dealing with a right foot stress injury but has been listed as probable for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis has been listed in the injury report on a consistent basis all season long, but he is widely expected to be available with no restrictions for the series opener against the Grizzlies. The star big man notched 24 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 43 minutes in the Play-In win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers will be at full strength Tuesday night with LeBron James (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (foot) also getting clearance. Davis usually always carries probable tags so his foot shouldn't be a major hindrance against Minnesota as he matches up with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Davis is probable for Tuesday's Play-In matchup against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Despite logging the injury tag, it would be quite surprising to see Davis unable to suit up during Tuesday's pivotal Play-In contest against Minnesota. The 30-year-old has appeared in 12 straight outings, averaging 25.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists,1.2 steals and 1.9 blocks over 35.8 minutes per game.

Davis closed with 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-117 win over the Jazz.

Davis got off to a solid start with eight first-half points on 4-of-7 shooting from the floor, adding seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks as the Lakers jumped out to a nine-point lead heading into the locker room. The power forward was able to knock down only three more shots over the final two quarters but did grab another six boards, two blocks and a steal to give him game highs in all three of those categories on the night. Davis continues to battle through a foot injury but still managed to close out the regular season with four straight double-doubles.

Davis (foot) is available and will start Sunday's game against Utah, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As expected, Davis, LeBron James (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (foot) have all been upgraded to available and will likely play heavy minutes with the Lakers fighting for playoff positioning. Over his past 11 appearances, Davis has averaged 26.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 35.9 minutes per game.

Davis (foot) is expected to play Sunday versus the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

AD will continue to power through the foot issue for L.A.'s regular-season finale, so he's safe to activate in all leagues. Over the past few weeks, Davis has put in averages of 26.1 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 swats per contest on 57.8 percent shooting from the field and 73.8 percent at the line.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jazz, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

This is Davis' usual status, and the big man has appeared in 11 straight games. During this run, he's averaged 26.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 35.9 minutes. The Lakers' seeding situation remains in flux.

Davis totaled 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-107 victory over the Suns.

Davis had an off night offensively Friday, making just four of 12 attempts from the field. That didn't stop him from crashing the boards, though, as the big man racked up a game-high 21 rebounds. Davis added three blocks in the win, marking his fourth performance this season with at least 20 boards and multiple swats in a game.

Davis (foot) is out for Friday's game versus the Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with a lingering foot injury. The star big man is averaging 27.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 steals in 36.1 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against Phoenix, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been dealing with nagging foot soreness for the past couple of weeks but he hasn't missed any contests since mid-March. After the center just played both legs of the Lakers' most recent back-to-back, it's possible they end up letting him play again Friday in a game with playoff implications. Expect Wenyen Gabriel and Jarred Vanderbilt to both see increased minutes if Davis is forced to miss time.

Davis notched 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Clippers.

Davis played 42 minutes Tuesday against Utah, and he was right back out there the following night in a big contest against the Clippers. The veteran big man played well in recording his second straight double-double, but his scoring output was hampered by the fact that he attempted just 14 field-goals -- his fewest since March 26. Probably the most important takeaway, however, is that Davis played in both games of the back-to-back set, so he appears to be in relatively good health as the Lakers approach the postseason.

Davis (foot) will be available to play Wednesday versus the Clippers, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis has been playing through the foot injury the past few games, but it hasn't been impacting his play, as he continues to come through with big stat lines. Feel free to get him active.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers and is expected to be a game-time decision, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis could miss Wednesday's game as it is the second leg of a back-to-back. However, with the Lakers currently sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference, he might be forced into action to avoid the Play-In. Wenyen Gabriel should and Jarred Vanderbilt are candidates to receive increased minutes if Davis is ruled out.

Davis (foot) recorded 21 points (7-16 FG, 7-12 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 135-133 overtime win over the Jazz.

Davis has appeared in nine straight games and recorded a 20-point double-double in four of those contests. He also fell one assist shy of his season high and notched multiple tallies in each defensive category for the eighth time during the campaign. Since the start of February, Davis has appeared in 25 of 27 games, averaging 26.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 blocks and 0.8 steals with 55/23/73 shooting splits.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Jazz according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

The Lakers play the second game of a back-to-back set on Wednesday against the Clippers, and both Davis and LeBron James (foot) will be re-evaluated prior to that one. Davis has been on quite the tear, scoring at least 38 points in three straight games.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to deal with a stress injury in his right foot, but he's been able to suit up recently and will likely be available once again Tuesday. He's scored at least 37 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 33.6 points and 11.8 rebounds in 35.6 minutes per game.

Davis poured in 40 points (15-20 FG, 10-12 FT) and added nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 30 minutes in Sunday's 134-109 win over the Rockets.

LeBron James has now played in four straight games after missing a month with a foot injury, but he's surprisingly served as the No. 2 option behind Davis upon returning. Davis has now put up at least 20 shot attempts in three straight games, posting scoring totals of 38, 38 and 40 points in that stretch while shooting 65.2 percent from the field and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line. Given his hot run along with the fact that the Lakers have a chance to pass either the Clippers or Warriors in the standings to avoid a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, Davis looks like an even stronger fantasy option than usual as Los Angeles closes its regular season with a four-game week.

Anthony Davis (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis tweaked his ankle during Friday's game, but he'll power through the injury and get out there for a favorable matchup with the Rockets. Make sure you've got him active.

Davis (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to be listed as probable, and he's appeared in seven straight games. During this stretch, he's averaged 28.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 36.7 minutes.

Davis finished Friday's 123-111 win over the Timberwolves with 38 points (15-26 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 17 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes. He gave Los Angeles a big scare when he appeared to roll his ankle in the third quarter, but he was able to finish the contest, and he indicated after the game that he'll be able to play against Houston on Sunday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.

This was a huge matchup between two teams vying not only for positioning in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, but also to potentially avoid the Play-In altogether. Davis shined as the game's most impactful force, leading all players by a wide margin with 38 points and 17 boards. The talented big man was especially dominant when it mattered most, recording 17 points in the final period. Unless Davis' ankle takes a turn for the worse Saturday, he should be good to go Sunday for the final day of championship week in many head-to-head fantasy leagues.

Davis (foot) will play in Friday's game at Minnesota, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has routinely been drawing probable tags and ultimately playing through them. Barring any setbacks, the Lakers' big man will presumably take on his usual workload.

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with a stress injury in his right foot, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again Friday. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 26.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 36.7 minutes per game.

Davis chipped in 38 points (13-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 victory over the Bulls.

Playing in his hometown, Davis recorded his highest scoring total in over three weeks with a team-leading 38 points. The Kentucky product also paced the Lakers in rebounds and recorded his sixth double-double over his past eight contests. To cap things off, Davis swatted two shots, snapping an uncharacteristic three-game stretch in which he totaled just one block. This was the Lakers' first game of the week, and fantasy managers vying for a championship will look for Davis to match this level of production Friday against Minnesota.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Wednesday's matchup at Chicago, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

As expected, Davis will play through his foot injury and appear in a sixth straight game. This month, he's averaging 26.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 35.5 minutes.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls with a right foot stress injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to receive probable tags due to his lingering foot injury but has played in the Lakers' last five contests. The star big man is averaging 24.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 36.2 minutes over that span.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis was listed as probable and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. D'Angelo Russell (hip) has been ruled out, which should result in Davis seeing an uptick in usage, so he could be someone to consider targeting in daily fantasy leagues.

Davis (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

The Lakers routinely list Davis as probable, so this is nothing to worry about. This month, he's averaging 27.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 blocks in 35.4 minutes.

Davis contributed 37 points (15-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 116-111 win over Oklahoma City.

This was a huge game for the Lakers, who pulled into a tie with Minnesota for seventh place in the Western Conference with the victory. Davis certainly seemed to sense the urgency, as he dominated in the paint and registered his highest point total in nearly three weeks. The Brow added 15 boards, marking the third time in his past six games that he has hit that mark. Aside from not blocking any shots in either of his past two contests, Davis is coming up big for fantasy managers during this crucial part of the campaign.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

No surprise here, as Davis has routinely been given probable designations recently and ultimately playing through it. Barring any setbacks, the big man should presumably see his usual role as the centerpice of the Lakers' offensive game plan.

Davis has claimed a probable designation on the Lakers' injury report for Friday's game versus the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is consistently given the probable tag ahead of games and has almost always played, so there is little to be concerned about at this point. The big man should continue to be the centerpiece of the Lakers' offensive game plan, with LeBron James (foot) sidelined for an undetermined amount of time.

Davis amassed 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 victory over the Suns.

Davis had just seven points at halftime Wednesday, but he was much more aggressive in scoring 20 points over the final two periods. The talented big man fell just one rebound shy of a fifth straight double-double, and he posted his highest assist total in over two weeks. Perhaps the only disappointing part of Davis' performance was his lack of blocks -- he didn't record any swats for just the second time since Feb. 11.

Coach Darvin Ham said Davis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite a lingering foot injury. He should continue to be the focal point of the Lakers' offense with LeBron James (foot) still out.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to a right foot stress injury, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is expected to play through his lingering foot injury Wednesday. The star big man is averaging 26.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 blocks in 35.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Davis amassed 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 111-105 victory over the Magic.

Although Davis provided considerable defensive mettle in the win with 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, he had difficulty finding the bottom of the basket. Although he has logged a double-double in five of his last eight games, he's suffered through a few rocky shooting performances over that span. His enormous shot volume usually makes up for a cold streak, but Davis' 15 points marked his fifth-worst scoring total of the season.

Davis (foot) is available Sunday against Orlando, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup, so his status isn't particularly surprising. He's posted double-doubles in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 23.2 points and 14.8 rebounds in 35.2 minutes per game during that time.

Davis (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with a lingering right foot stress injury but isn't at significant risk of missing Sunday's game. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 26.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 blocks in 34.5 minutes.

Davis totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to Dallas.

Davis was excellent statistically in the contest, leading Los Angeles in scoring and posting his third straight double-double. However, a couple late mistakes -- a foul that gave Maxi Kleber three critical free-throws with seven seconds remaining and a subsequent miss from the charity stripe on the Lakers' end -- were key in sending Los Angeles to a stunning loss. That being said, Davis' fantasy managers got another solid night of production from the big man, though there's some minor disappointment in his recent decline in shot blocking. After recording multiple blocks in 10 straight games from Feb. 11 through March 10, Davis has totaled only two swats across his past three contests.

Davis (foot) will play Friday against the Mavericks according to Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com of SB Nation.

Davis was held out of Wednesday's game against the Rockets as a precaution and the Lakers ended up with a loss. Rui Hachimura moved into the starting lineup for that contest but had a tough showing, scoring five points in 17 minutes.

Davis (foot) is probable to face the Mavericks on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis didn't play Wednesday against the Rockets due to a nagging foot injury that has been bothering him for quite some time, but it seems the extra rest helped him. The big man is now on track to return to action Friday, and having him back would be a huge boost for a Los Angeles team that's already missing LeBron James (foot). Davis is averaging 27.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game across six March appearances.

Coach Darvin Ham said Tuesday that Davis won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to an "active" foot injury, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has played the last six games through his nagging foot injury but will sit out the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back Wednesday. However, fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup against the Mavericks on Friday. Wenyen Gabriel will likely receive an increased role in Davis' absence.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday with a nagging foot injury. While he is coming off two-lackluster scoring performances, the star big man should continue to be the focal point of the Lakers' offense with LeBron James (foot) still out.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis is coming off of back-to-back disappointing performances, but he is expected to play through his lingering foot issue and will attempt to keep the Lakers in playoff contention with LeBron James (foot) sidelined. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Davis' status ahead of Tuesday's 8:00 p.m. ET tip. Before his lackluster outings, Davis scored at least 30 points in three straight games and averaged 35.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks with 58/44/81 shooting splits during that stretch.

Davis ended with 17 points (8-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to New York.

Davis hit the double-double milestone, but the Lakers need more than 17 points from their All-Star center if they hope to make a playoff push. Davis broke a five game streak of hitting 50 percent or more from the floor, and he suffered through what was easily his worst performance of the season at the charity stripe, converting only one shot in five attempts.

Davis (foot) will be available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, independent NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

As expected, Davis' inclusion on the injury report looks like it was once again simply a formality, as the big man will suit up for the 16th time in the last 17 games. Davis is coming off of an uncharacteristically quiet effort in Friday's win over Toronto (eight points, nine rebounds in 33 minutes), though prior to that game he'd scored at least 28 points in five straight.

Davis is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks due to a right foot stress injury, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis frequently receives probable tags leaving up to the contests, as was the case ahead of Friday's tilt against the Raptors. He has still played in four straight games and 15 of the last 16, so there's little reason to anticipate the star big man missing the contest. Davis is coming off a rough showing Friday, finishing with fewer than 10 points for the first time this season for a full game, so he'll likely be locked in looking to bounce back Sunday.

Davis supplied eight points (4-7 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 122-112 victory over Toronto.

Davis uncharacteristically took a back seat on offense Friday, putting up just seven shots over 33 minutes. Prior to the trade deadline, that would have likely been disastrous for the Lakers offense, but D'Angelo Russell (28 points) and a host of other players on the team stepped up to lead the team to victory. Despite the quiet scoring night, Davis wasn't entirely unproductive, as he posted nine rebounds and a game-high four blocks. The star big man has swatted multiple shots in 10 straight games and is averaging 24.5 points, 13.6 boards, 2.6 assists and 2.8 swats over that span.

Davis (foot) will play in Friday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

No surprise here, as Davis was considered probable heading into the night. Look for the Lakers' star big man to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Raptors.

A right foot stress injury continues to land Davis on the injury report, though the Lakers can't afford to rest him much with LeBron James (foot) sidelined until late March. Davis has appeared in three straight games, averaging 35.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 35.3 minutes.

Davis notched 30 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 22 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 112-103 victory over the Grizzlies.

With LeBron James (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (ankle) out of the lineup, Davis took over the game on both sides of the ball, leading the Lakers to a win that propelled them ever closer to playoff contention. Davis is on an amazing three-game run, averaging 35.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks over that span.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite a nagging foot injury. The star big man is averaging 35.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.7 assists in his three appearances since LeBron James went down with a foot injury.

Davis is probable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to see his name on the injury report due to a right foot issue, but it shouldn't force him to miss any action. He figures to be cleared for play closer to Tuesday's tipoff.

Davis supplied 39 points (14-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 victory over Golden State.

Davis was the dominant player Sunday, carrying the Lakers to a much-needed victory. With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, it is going to be up to Davis to do all of the heavy lifting, at least for the next few weeks. His ability to produce has never been questioned, with health the only question mark when it comes to overall value. If he can remain healthy fort he remainder of the regular season, chances are he is going to be on a lot of winning squads come April.

Davis (foot) will be available to play Sunday against the Warriors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was listed as probable and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. He's averaging 17.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.0 blocks against the Warriors this season, so make sure he's on your active roster.

Davis (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis continues to be bothered by a right foot injury, but he dropped 38 points during Friday's loss to the Timberwolves and has missed just one game after Jan. 30. During this stretch, he's averaged 24.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 2.0 assists in 33.7 minutes.

Davis finished Friday's 110-102 loss to the Timberwolves with 38 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes.

Davis put together his best scoring performance since Dec. 4, but it wasn't enough to guide his team to a victory. He scored 12 of his 14 points from the charity stripe and also helped out on the defensive end by swatting away a shot for his seventh straight contest. Davis has put up 28 or more points in four of his last five matchups and should continue to be leaned on heavily given the absence of LeBron James (foot).

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play Friday against the Timberwolves, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis was held out of the second leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday against the Thunder, but it appears as though he'll see his usual allotment of minutes Friday. Mo Bamba could be headed back to the bench with this news, but his strong play Wednesday could earn him some trust from the coaching staff going forward.

Davis (foot) is considered probable for Friday's contest against Minnesota, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was forced to miss the second leg of the Lakers' recent back-to-back as he dealt with right foot stress. With the forward on track to play Friday, Wenyen Gabriel and Mo Bamba could see their minutes take a dip. Davis has been averaging 23.3 points, 15.3 rebounds and 3.3 blocks since the NBA's All-Star break.

Davis (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis had been able to play through his right foot stress injury recently, but he'll miss the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. Wenyen Gabriel, Mo Bamba and Jarred Vanderbilt should see increased run against Oklahoma City, while Davis' next chance to suit up will be Friday against Minnesota.

Davis recorded 28 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 19 rebounds and five blocks over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to Memphis.

The Lakers saw their three-game win streak come to an end in a contest that they played without LeBron James (foot), but Davis ensured that the team didn't go down quietly. The superstar big man led Los Angeles with 28 points and pulled down a whopping 19 boards while adding five blocks. Davis has been a dominant presence on the defensive end of late, recording multiple blocks in each of his past six games. He's also pulled down double-digit boards in seven consecutive contests.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available with a right foot stress injury. The star big man will likely see an increased offensive workload with LeBron James (foot) out.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been dealing with a stress injury in his right foot recently but has been able to play through the issue. He's posted double-doubles in eight of his last nine appearances and has averaged 22.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 33.2 minutes per game during that time. He'll likely be able to suit up once again Tuesday.

Davis supplied 30 points (12-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over the Mavericks.

Davis scored 19 of his game-high 30 points in the second half on 7-of-12 shooting from the field as the Lakers stormed back late and stole a huge win on the road. The power forward also led the contest with 15 rebounds while matching Justin Holiday with a game-high three blocks. He's now grabbed double-digit rebounds in six straight games and has shot above 60 percent from the field in each of his last three.

Davis (foot) is available and will start Sunday's game versus the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As expected, Davis will retain his usual role despite being listed as probable with a lingering right foot injury. The dynamic big man has appeared in nine straight games and is averaging 22.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 33.2 minutes during that stretch.

Davis (foot) has been listed as probable to face the Mavericks on Sunday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis is dealing with a stress injury in his right foot, but the fact that he's been listed as probable suggests he shouldn't have problems stepping on the court and facing Dallas. The star big man is averaging 21.6 points, 13.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 blocks per game across eight games in February.

Davis recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 26 minutes during Thursday's 124-111 win over the Warriors.

The Lakers relied largely on their role players to carry the team Thursday, as Davis and LeBron James combined for just 25 points. James' low scoring output (13 points) was largely due to a poor 5-for-20 shooting night, while Davis' was the result of recording just five field-goal attempts. Despite the quiet offensive effort, Davis made a positive mark on the game by swatting a pair of shots and grabbing 12 rebounds. Fantasy managers may be concerned that Davis has scored below 20 points in three of his past four contests, but the big man is still averaging an impactful 18.0 points, 14.5 boards, 2.0 assists and 2.5 blocks over that span.

Davis (foot) will play in Thursday's matchup with the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was initially tabbed probable for the contest with a right foot stress injury but will give it a go. Over his last eight appearances, Davis has averaged 23.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 34.1 minutes.

Davis is probable for Thursday's game versus the Warriors due to a right foot stress injury.

Davis is expected to play Thursday through a nagging foot injury. The star big man is averaging 19.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in 32.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Davis finished Wednesday's 120-102 win over the Pelicans with 28 points (13-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes.

The Lakers welcomed LeBron James (ankle) back from a three-game absence, but it was Davis who took center stage for Los Angeles while facing off against his former team. The blowout nature of the contest led to lower minutes for both of the Lakers' co-stars, but Davis still managed to deliver value for those that rolled him out in DFS, despite some poor free-throw shooting. Davis continues to be a regular on Lakers injury reports following his return in late January from a right foot stress reaction, but he's suited up in eight consecutive contests and should continue to play regularly so long as Los Angeles remains in playoff contention.

Davis (foot) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday with a nagging foot injury. There is no indication that the star big man is on a minutes restriction and is a must-play in all fantasy formats.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game versus New Orleans due to a right foot stress injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has consistently received probable tags before being upgraded to available due to his lingering foot injury. The star big man is averaging 20.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks in 34.2 minutes across his last five games.

Davis finished with 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 20 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.

With LeBron James (ankle) unable to play for the third straight game, Davis again worked as the Lakers' focal point on offense. He led the team with 18 field-goal attempts, but for the third straight contest he made less than half of his tries. Davis is hitting just 37.3 percent of his shot attempts and averaging a modest 18.3 points over that stretch, well below his season marks. However, he's continuing to produce for his fantasy managers in other ways, pulling down 16-plus boards in each of the three contests and swatting three shots in back-to-back games.

Davis (foot) will be available to play Monday against the Trail Blazers.

The Lakers continue to list Davis as probable with his minor foot injury, and as expected, he continues to get out there. With LeBron James (ankle) watching from the sidelines, expect a big night from AD with a favorable matchup against Portland.

Davis (foot) is considered probable for Monday's game against Portland, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As usual, the Lakers are listing Davis as probable, but he's now played in six straight games -- and eight of the last nine -- so the foot issue that caused him to miss more than a month of action in December and January looks to be behind him. Davis is coming off of a rough night from the field (13 points, 5-of-19 FG) in Saturday night's win over the Warriors, though for the most part he's looked good since returning. Over his last six games, he's averaging 23.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Davis will appear in a sixth straight game. He could see more usage than usual, as LeBron James (ankle) is sidelined. He'll also have a myriad of new teammates alongside him following the Lakers' busy deadline.

Davis (foot) is probable for Saturday's tilt against the Warriors, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis' foot remains sore, but he's expected to appear in a sixth straight game. Over the past five, he's averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 35.2 minutes.

Davis posted 23 points (9-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to the Bucks.

With LeBron James (ankle) and all of Los Angeles' trade-deadline acquisitions out of action Thursday, much of the offensive load fell on Davis' shoulders. The big man led the Lakers with 22 shot attempts, but he made only nine of those and finished with a modest 23 points. Davis did have a big night on the boards with 16 rebounds, but he didn't record any defensive stats and turned the ball over five times while also committing five fouls. The flurry of trades made by Los Angeles at the deadline shouldn't impact Davis' role -- he figures to remain the team's primary force down low and should continue to battle James for nightly high-scoring honors.

Davis (foot) will play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was initially tabbed probable, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise. With Lebron James (ankle) out and Russell Westbrook (trade) out of the picture, Davis should be in line for a massive usage rate Thursday. In 31 appearances this season, Davis has averaged 26.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 33.4 minutes.

Davis is probable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to a stress injury in his right foot.

Davis has been on the team's injury report for most of the season but will likely be available for Thursday's tilt. Over his last three appearances, Davis has averaged 26.0 points 12.0 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals over 34.5 minutes.

Davis (foot) is available to play Tuesday vs. the Thunder.

Despite being a regular on the injury report, Davis' status wasn't in much doubt Tuesday evening. It will be interesting to see if he gets a bit less usage than normal as LeBron James goes for the all-time scoring record.

Davis is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a right foot stress injury, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to see his name pop up on the injury report, but he's still on track to play Tuesday. He's looked sharp in his last three contests since returning to the starting lineup, averaging 30.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over this brief stretch.

Davis totaled 34 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 131-126 loss to the Pelicans.

All eyes are on LeBron James right now, but Davis has been playing extremely well since returning from injury, and it seems the foot soreness that has landed him in the injury report prior to the last three contests is not affecting him. Davis is averaging 25.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals per game since returning from a 20-game absence.

Davis (foot) will play Saturday against the Pelicans, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

As expected, Davis will play through his foot soreness and should start for a third straight matchup. Since returning from his 20-game absence, he's averaging 23.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.0 minutes.

Davis (foot) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis continues to deal with a right foot stress injury, but he'll likely be able to suit up for a third consecutive game Saturday. He's appeared in four of the Lakers' last five matchups and has averaged 23.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game during that time.

Davis chipped in 31 points (13-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 112-111 victory over Indiana.

Davis led the Lakers' offense right from the jump, scoring 17 points in the first half, 11 of which came in the first quarter on 4-of-9 shooting from the floor. He tacked on another 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting over the final two quarters to finish with a game-high 31 points while also leading the contest in rebounds with 14. Perhaps his biggest moment, however, came with just over 16 seconds left in the game when he blocked a shot from Tyrese Haliburton to help the Lakers seal up the win by just one point. It was Davis' first 30-point game since Jan. 13 and he's now recorded a double-double in three of his last four contests.

Coach Darvin Ham said Davis (foot) is good to go for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Thursday due to a lingering foot injury. The star big man is averaging 21.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes across his last three appearances.

Davis (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been eased into action after missing over a month due to his foot injury, but he returned to the starting lineup Tuesday against New York and logged 27 points, nine rebounds, two steals and an assist in 37 minutes. Although he's still dealing with his foot issue, he'll likely be able to suit up Thursday.

Davis ended with 27 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 129-123 overtime victory over the Knicks.

Making his first start since Dec. 16 and playing in just his third game since sustaining a stress fracture in his right foot, Davis fell one board short of his 21st double-double of the season. The Lakers don't have any more back-to-back sets before the All-Star break, so after sitting out Monday's game against the nets, Davis should become a lineup fixture once again in February -- assuming he can stay healthy, of course.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday, as expected. Davis came off the bench for his previous two appearances but is set to rejoin the starting lineup against New York.

Davis (foot) is expected to join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis' expected return to the starting unit comes on a night that Patrick Beverley's absence conveniently opens a spot in the starting unit. That said, the Lakers may instead shift Thomas Bryant to the bench unit and add Lonnie Walker back to the starting five. Either way, Davis is expected to see expanded minutes in his first start since Dec. 16.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis sat out the first half of the Lakers' back-to-back set due to injury management, but he'll likely return to action Tuesday. Before his absence Monday, the eight-time All-Star made back-to-back appearances after missing over a month with a foot injury and posted 18.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.0 minutes during those contests. If available, Davis figures to garner a similar role against New York.

Davis has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Brooklyn due to a stress injury in his right foot.

Davis made back-to-back appearances off the bench after missing over a month with a foot injury, but the talented big man will be sidelined again Monday. It appears like his absence for the first half of the Lakers' upcoming back-to-back set is a load-management situation, but it's still concerning to see Davis back on the injury report. LeBron James (ankle) is also out, so Thomas Bryant, Wenyen Gabriel, Rui Hachimura and Juan Toscano-Anderson are all candidates for increased roles against the Nets.

Davis (foot) will play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis was initially probable, so his availability does not come as a surprise. He was incredible in his first game back from a foot injury, recording 21 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks across 26 minutes Wednesday. Davis will likely remain on a similar minutes restriction to Wednesday's contest but remains a must-start even with the limitations.

Davis is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Celtics despite a right foot stress injury, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis is on the injury report with the same foot that has cost him much of the season, but the probable designation suggests he's unlikely to miss Saturday's showdown in Boston. Davis wasted no time producing in his return to the floor Wednesday, racking up 21 points, 12 boards, four blocks, an assist and a steal over 26 minutes off the bench. Assuming the star big man can avoid setbacks, he should see his minutes increase in the coming tilts. However, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's rested in one of the Lakers' back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday.

Davis chipped in 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 win over the Spurs.

Davis made his return and had a significant impact early, and we were quickly reminded of how Davis can transform the Lakers on both sides of the ball. Inside jams, alley-oops and a sweet step-back three were all on display in the win, and although we may see a rest day or two and limited minutes while Davis gets back at it, he looked ready to carry a full load.

Davis (foot) will return and come off the bench Wednesday against the Spurs, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Darvin Ham said Davis will come off the bench against the Spurs, as he wants to manage Davis' minutes so the big man can potentially close the game if need be. Davis has not played since Dec. 16, and with him coming off the bench, Thomas Bryant would potentially remain in the starting unit.

Davis (foot) is on track to return for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

The Lakers revealed Tuesday night that Davis was headed for a re-evaluation the following morning, and it's since been uncovered that if all goes well, he'll be back in the lineup Wednesday evening. Assuming the star forward gains clearance to play, he'll likely be kept on a minutes restriction after missing nearly six weeks due to a fractured bone spur and stress reaction in his right foot. Thomas Bryant would be the obvious choice to move back to a bench role after filling in for Davis at center.

Davis (foot) 'had another great day' Monday and will be re-evaluated Wednesday morning, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis has been making steady progress on the road to recovery from a right foot injury. The Lakers continue to keep their plans for Davis' return quiet, though a timetable could emerge shortly after Wednesday's evaluation if all goes well. Los Angeles is scheduled to face off against the Spurs on Wednesday night.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham told the media Sunday that Davis (foot) "looked phenomenal" during a full-contact scrimmage Saturday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

The Lakers have stayed away from putting a firm timetable on Davis' return, but he appears to be making substantial progress as he works back from a right foot injury. For now, Davis continues to be listed as "out" -- the Lakers play at Portland on Sunday night -- but it seems realistic that he could be back in the lineup within the next week or two. Prior to going down with the injury on Dec. 16 against Denver, Davis was hitting his stride as one of the most valuable players in all of fantasy basketball. On the year, he's averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocks while shooting a career-best-by-far 59.4 percent from the floor.

Davis (foot) continues to make pain-free progress and could return to the Lakers' starting lineup as soon as late next week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Davis has been sidelined since mid-December due to a bone spur and stress reaction in his right foot, but all signs point to the All-NBA big man getting close to a return. After Friday's home contest against Memphis, Los Angeles travels to Portland to begin a four-game week Sunday. Based on Wojnarowski's report, Davis will likely remain sidelined for at least the next four games, but he could be targeting the Lakers' Jan. 28 contest in Boston as a potential return date. When Davis does return, Thomas Bryant and Wenyen Gabriel figure to have their minutes decreased.

Davis (foot) is expected to resume running on the court this week and appears to be eyeing a return to game action in early February, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Monday in an appearance on FanDuel TV.

Sidelined since mid-December due to a bone spur and stress reaction in his right foot, Davis will miss his 16th consecutive game Monday against the Rockets. The eight-time All-Star looks on pace to remain sidelined through the end of January, but if Davis is able to start running again this week while gradually intensifying those sessions, Charania relays that the big man would then progress to taking contact in practice in the "relative near future." Ideally, the Lakers plan to have Davis back on the court for a handful of games before the All-Star break and the Feb. 9 trade deadline, with his anticipated return to the lineup along with the team's position in the standings likely to factor into what adjustments, if any, Los Angeles decides to make to its roster down the stretch. Until Davis is cleared to play again, Thomas Bryant is likely to continue serving as the Lakers' starting center.

Davis (foot) plans to begin the ramp-up process of his rehab when the Lakers return to Los Angeles later this week, and there's optimism that he could return to the Lakers' starting lineup in a couple of weeks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis missed his 12th straight game Saturday due to a fracture in his right foot, but he's planning to begin a ramp-up process, which will include pool workouts and running on an altered-gravity treadmill to reduce pressure on his foot. The superstar big man has been limited to spot shooting so far, so his switch to conditioning-based workouts is certainly a step in the right direction. With Davis sidelined, the Lakers initially went through a rough patch but have since won five straight games, thanks largely due to the play of Thomas Bryant. However, Los Angeles' current hot streak is likely unsustainable unless they can return to full strength, which certainly includes Davis getting back onto the court in a timely fashion. While there's optimism about that happening, Davis will presumably remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.

Davis is scheduled to take a significant step forward in his recovery from a stress injury to his right foot by taking the court for an individual workout within the next few days, Chris Haynes of BleacherReport.com reports.

Davis has been sidelined for the Lakers' last 11 games with the foot injury, and he's likely to miss at least a few more contests even if he fares well during his upcoming workout. Though Davis is reportedly progressing well with minimal pain in his foot, he'll need to check out fine in the workout before he's cleared for contact work and then ultimately given the green light to join teammates in practice. Thomas Bryant will continue to hold down the fort at center in the absence of Davis, who could be tracking toward a return to the lineup in the latter half of January.

Coach Darvin Ham intimated that Davis' foot pain has "just about dissipated" and that he's trending in the right direction regarding a ramp-up to return, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis is set to be re-evaluated during the first week of January, and it's encouraging to hear he's almost pain-free. Still, pain isn't the only hurdle, and the medical staff will need to make sure things are structurally sound before Davis considers ramping up for a return. In the meantime, expect Thomas Bryant to continue starting at center.

Davis will be re-evaluated in roughly two weeks after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Davis was initially slated to be sidelined indefinitely but may be able to return in just two weeks, meaning his next chance to play could come Jan. 6 against Atlanta. The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Davi,s as he finally seemed to be finding his rhythm having averaged 40.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game across the last 5 games he has started and finished.

Davis will be sidelined indefinitely due to a stress injury in his right foot.

Davis had recaptured his previous form early in the 2022-23 campaign, posting 27.4 points and a career-high 12.1 rebounds per game over 33.4 minutes. Unfortunately, the seemingly inevitable long-term injury has struck again. Davis has played no more than 40 games in either of the last two seasons and no more than 62 in any of the last five, and he appears slated for another lengthy absence. While Davis is sidelined, look for Thomas Bryant, who has performed well in the starting center role of late, to maintain the spot.

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said Monday that Davis is still having his injured right foot evaluated, but the expectation remains that the big man will miss at least a month, Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis will miss his third consecutive game Wednesday in Sacramento with what the Lakers are listing as "right foot soreness" on the official injury report, but it's clear the 29-year-old is dealing with something more serious than that label would indicate. Brian Windhorst of ESPN confirmed as much in his most recent episode of the "Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective" podcast, noting that Davis' injury is more significant than a sprained ankle or a sprained foot, which could mean the eight-time All-Star may be dealing with a broken foot or, in a worst-case scenario, a Lisfranc injury that would require season-ending surgery. Until the Lakers provide a firm diagnosis of Davis' injury and a more precise timeline for his return, fantasy managers should likely plan on him being sidelined through at least the end of January.

Davis is expected to miss at least a month after suffering a right foot injury in Friday's win over the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis left the first half of Friday's game due to the injury and was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Washington, but the superstar big man will now miss at least a month due to the issue. His upcoming absence is a massive blow to Los Angeles, as Davis was playing at an all-NBA level and had been relatively healthy so far, missing just three of the first 28 games of the season. In his absence, Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones are candidates for increased minutes, but the Lakers will likely have to lean heavily on LeBron James and Russell Westbrook moving forward. While Charania notes Davis is out at least a month, he added that the Lakers are bracing for an indefinite absence.

Davis will miss Sunday's game against Washington and undergo further evaluation on his right foot after exiting Friday's game due to the injury, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis left in the first half of Friday's game with an unspecified injury in his right foot and will be held out of Sunday's contest. It is unclear if he will have to miss an extended period of time, but for as long as he is out Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones should see extended run. Davis' next chance to play will come on Monday in Phoenix.

Davis will not return to Friday's matchup with the Nuggets due to a right foot injury, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Thomas Bryant started the second half for Davis. He ended the night with ten points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 17 minutes. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but his status for Sunday's game against the Wizards is certainly up in the air.

Davis will play Friday against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis will once again be available and presumably draw another start despite initially being listed as probable with a back injury. The superstar big man has posted three straight double-doubles and averaged 34.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks in 39.4 minutes during that stretch.

Davis (back) is likely to play in Friday's game against Denver, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis will once again be listed as probable due to lower back tightness but should be expected to play. He has been on a tear in December, averaging 40.2 points and 13.2 rebounds in the five games he has finished this month.

Davis supplied 37 points (13-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes during Tuesday's 122-118 overtime loss to Boston.

Davis helped bring the Lakers back from the brink after going down early, but it wasn't quite enough to win. Wednesday's showing increased Davis' double-double streak to three games, and although we've seen him on the injury report frequently, he's usually good to go. He should be fine to play Friday after a day of rest.

Davis (back) is available to play in Tuesday's game against Boston, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite a lingering back injury. The star big man has only missed three contests this season and will likely continue to be listed as probable ahead of future games. Davis is averaging 41.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in his last four games, excluding last Tuesday's game versus Cleveland, in which he left after playing only eight minutes.

Davis is probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due low back tightness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report due to a back injury, but he's shown that he can play through the issue. Expect the team to confirm his availability closer to tipoff.

Davis ended with 34 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 124-117 victory over the Pistons.

Davis ended up three assists shy of a triple-double, leading the Lakers in rebounds while finishing second in points and assists. Davis notched his second straight 30-point, 10-rebound double-double, averaging 32.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last two contests.

Davis (back) is available Sunday against the Pistons, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup, and he'll officially be able to suit up for a second consecutive matchup. He's posted double-doubles in 11 of his last 12 appearances and has averaged 31.2 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 32.5 minutes per game during that time.

Davis is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has played through lower back tightness for most of the season while being a consistent part of the injury report. He should be expected to suit up and handle a full workload. Davis has been on a tear as of late, having posted three consecutive 30-point double-doubles in games he has started and finished.

Davis (illness) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Davis returns following a one-game absence due to illness, which came after being pulled after just eight minutes in the prior game. In Davis' nine games before that, he averaged 35.3 points, 15.6 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.7 minutes.

Davis (illness) is probable to play in Friday's game against Philadelphia, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Davis only played eight minutes Tuesday and missed Wednesday's game due to a non-COVID illness. The star big man's return will likely send Thomas Bryant back to the bench. The Lakers should be close to full strength Friday, with LeBron James (ankle) also probable to play.

Davis (illness) will not take the floor Wednesday versus the Raptors, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

On a positive note, Davis' illness is listed as the non-COVID variety, so he could have a short stay on the sideline ahead. With Davis,LeBron James (ankle) and Wenyen Gabriel (shoulder) set to sit, Thomas Bryant, Damian Jones and Juan Toscano-Anderson figure to handle sizable frontcourt workloads.

Davis won't return to Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to an illness, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis is reportedly dealing with flu-like symptoms and will thus miss the remainder of Tuesday's matchup. The forward logged just eight minutes of action and posted one point (0-0 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists before exiting. It's unclear at the moment whether Davis' status in Wednesday's contest versus the Raptors is in jeopardy or not.

Davis (back) will play in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

This was the expected outcome for Davis after being labeled probable on the initial injury report. The star big man is coming off of 55 and 44 points between his last two games and will be counted on for major contributions again Tuesday, though the Cavaliers do return Jarret Allen (back) from a five-game absence.

Davis (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with low back tightness but has played through the issue over the last four games. The 29-year-old is in the midst of a dominant stretch in which he's posted 10 consecutive double-doubles and was especially productive over the weekend, as he posted 44 points Friday against the Bucks before dropping 55 points against Washington on Sunday.

Davis chipped in 55 points (22-30 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 130-119 victory over Washington.

Davis was at his best once again Sunday, continuing what has been a simply dynamic stretch of games. The Lakers have now won eight of their last 10 games on the back of Davis and his career-best play. The numbers don't lie in this instance, with Davis sitting as the number one player in fantasy basketball. While we have seen this from Davis in the past, it's fair to say no one saw it coming. For anyone who managed to snap him up in the second round of drafts, life certainly is sweet right now.

Davis (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

It isn't very surprising to see Davis available Sunday since he was listed as probable on the Lakers' injury report. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 32.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35.0 minutes per game.

Davis is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards despite a back issue.

The Lakers have listed Davis as probable prior to each of the last three games, and he hasn't missed any of them. Davis is coming off his best offensive showing of the year, racking up a season-high 44 points as part of his ninth consecutive double-double in games he's appeared. He should maintain his spot in the starting lineup Sunday, looking to build off the effort.

Davis amassed 44 points (18-27 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 133-129 win over the Bucks.

Davis put on an impressive shooting display and came away with his ninth consecutive double-double. He scored a season-high 44 points on the night to lead the game in scoring while also recording three blocks for the third time in his last four games. Davis averaged 27.2 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 blocks across 13 contests in November, and he got off to a hot start in his first action of December.

Davis (back) is available for Friday's matchup at Milwaukee, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis continues to play through back soreness, as he has for much of the year. In November, he averaged 27.2 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Davis (back) is probable for Friday's game against Milwaukee, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to manage low back tightness but appears likely to play against the Bucks. He's posted double-doubles in eight consecutive appearances and has averaged 30.4 points, 15.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 33.5 minutes per game during that time.

Davis provided 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-109 win over Portland.

Davis has been putting up big stat lines so regularly this season that Wednesday's output almost seems quiet. That's quite impressive considering that he finished with his eighth straight double-double and racked up three-plus blocks for the fourth straight contest. Davis has been a gold mine for fantasy managers who were able to snatch him beyond the first round of drafts this season -- he's sitting at the top of the heap in nine-category leagues with per-game averages of 26.3 points, 12.7 boards, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.5 steals while shooting 56.9 percent from the field and 82.0 percent from the charity stripe over 18 contests.

Davis (back) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available for Wednesday's game with low back tightness. Davis has only missed two games so far this season.

Davis is probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers with low back tightness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis is apparently dealing with a lower back injury after recovering from his left calf contusion. However, Davis is still likely to play Wednesday, and fantasy players should not hesitate to play him if he's available, as expected.

Davis registered 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks over 36 minutes during Monday's 116-115 loss to Indiana.

Though the Lakers lost the game on a buzzer-beating three-pointer, Davis put together another big stat line. He led the Lakers in both scoring and rebounds while tying with Russell Westbrook for the team lead in assists. Davis also swatted four shots, marking his fifth straight game with multiple blocks. He's recorded a double-double in seven straight contests and is averaging an impressive 30.9 points, 16.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.9 blocks over that span.

Davis (calf) is active for Monday's game against Indiana, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis will return to the lineup following an absence in the Lakers' win over the Spurs on Saturday due to a left calf bruise. The center will presumably resume his normal starting role. Across 16 previous starts, Davis averaged 26.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Davis (calf) is now likely to play in Monday's matchup with the Pacers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis initially was listed as questionable Monday after missing Saturday's game due to a left calf contusion, however, he will likely give it a go Monday given his new probable tag. Thomas Bryant will likely get bumped back to the bench while Wenyen Gabriel is slated to see a deflated role if Davis suits up.

Davis (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Davis missed Saturday's win against the Spurs, but all signs point to him returning to action Monday. How he feels Monday will be key to assessing whether the star big man will return to the hardwood or not, but if he can't go, then Thomas Bryant would be in line to get another start at center.

Davis (calf) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis missed Saturday's game against the Spurs, but his presence wasn't missed as the Lakers won by a 143-138 score while his replacements, Thomas Bryant and Wenyen Gabriel, combined for 24 points, eight rebounds and five blocks. That said, Davis' return will provide a huge return to the Lakers on both ends of the floor. The star big man has posted six double-doubles in a row and is averaging 31.8 points, 17.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game during that span.

Davis (calf) is out Saturday against the Spurs, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Davis will miss his first game since Oct. 28. Davis has been dealing with back soreness for most of the season but will sit out due to a bruised calf Saturday. In his absence, Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones are strong candidates to see extra run.

Davis is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a left calf contusion, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis has been dealing with a sore back most of the season, but he picked up a calf injury during Friday's game, which is the more pressing concern. Davis has missed just one game this season (Oct. 28), and with LeBron James (adductor) back, the coaching staff may have some leeway to give Davis the night off. If he sits, more minutes could be in store for Thomas Bryant, Damian Jones, Wenyen Gabriel and Juan Toscano-Anderson.

Davis ended with 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 105-94 win over the Spurs.

Davis had another solid performance across the board Friday night. His 25 points led all scorers, and although it's the first time in five games he didn't reach 30, the veteran power forward did notch his sixth double-double in a row. This also marked his fourth straight game with at least four combined steals and blocks. Having only missed one game so far this season, Davis continues to provide terrific value to those who took a chance on him early in drafts.

Davis (back) will play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable with lower back tightness to available for Friday's game. Davis is averaging 26.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.7 steals in 34.3 minutes across 15 games this season.

Davis should play Friday against the Spurs despite low back tightness, possessing a probable designation.

Davis was listed on the injury report as probable for Tuesday's game as well and played 39 minutes in the contest, producing 30-plus points for the fourth straight game. He should play again Friday, assuming a late change to his status doesn't occur, but the potential return of LeBron James (adductor) could lower Davis' fantasy upside.

Davis supplied 37 points (11-17 FG, 15-16 FT), 21 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and five steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-105 loss to the Suns.

Davis did a little bit of everything Tuesday night, including a near-perfect night at the charity stripe. He also played lights-out defense with 21 rebounds, five steals and five blocked shots. Although he turned over the ball six times, his stellar all-around performance negated any demerits to his fantasy total.

Davis (back) is active for Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As anticipated, Davis will play and will presumably make his 11 straight start versus the Suns. The forward has averaged 26.3 points and 13.0 rebounds across his past 10 starts.

Davis is probable for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix with lower back tightness, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to pop up on Los Angeles' injury report due to back tightness, but the 29-year-old has appeared in 10 straight games. Davis has been unstoppable across the Lakers' recent three-game winning streak, averaging 35.0 points, 17.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks over that span.

Davis had 30 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 123-92 win over San Antonio.

Behind Davis' stellar night, the Lakers won handily and despite the loss of LeBron James, the team is making its way through the schedule rather well with three consecutive victories. Davis has been brilliant during the streak, averaging 35 points, 17.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocked shots over the three-game span.

Davis (back) will be available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28, so there's little reason to believe his status is in any jeopardy, despite the fact that the Lakers continue to list him on the injury report in advance of every game. Davis is coming off of a pair of monster performances in the Lakers' last two games, including a 38-point, 16-rebound, two-assist, four-block effort Friday night against Detroit.

Davis (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Davis continues to land on the injury report but hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28. Over the past three games, he's averaged 33.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes. LeBron James (adductor) is questionable, and his return could cut into Davis' recent usage spike.

Davis finished Friday's 128-121 victory over Detroit with 38 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 18-21 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 34 minutes.

Victories have been hard to come by for the Lakers, and notching wins is even harder without LeBron James' (thigh) services. If Davis can provide nights like this with more frequency, the Lakers have a much better chance to stay relevant as they move through the month without LeBron. Davis has delivered in James' absence, averaging 33 points, 16 rebounds, 2.3 blocked shots and 2.3 assists over the past three games.

Davis (back) will play in Friday's matchup with the Pistons, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Davis figures to be in for a healthy workload, as LeBron James (thigh) will miss his third straight contest. Look for him to be heavilly involved on both ends of the floor assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Davis (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Davis continues to land on the injury report due to his back issue. The bigger news is that LeBron James (thigh) is questionable to return.

Davis produced 37 points (15-25 FG, 7-7 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 victory over the Nets.

Davis had easily his best offensive outing thus far this season, leading the Lakers to a much-needed victory. Playing as the undisputed alpha, Davis was unstoppable from the floor, while also shooting an encouraging 7-of-7 from the line. He is currently putting up first-round value on a per-game basis, music to the ears of anyone who managed to snap him up late in the second round of drafts.

Davis (back) will be available for Sunday's game against the Nets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis is perpetually banged up, but there's little reason to believe his status was ever in much jeopardy due to this back issue, which goes back to late October. Davis only missed one game (Oct. 28 at MIN), but the Lakers have nonetheless included him on the injury report for their last eight contests. Chances are, Davis will continue to carry a designation most nights, but the back issue doesn't appear to be bothering him right now.

Davis (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Nets, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Davis enters Sunday's injury report as probable due to lower back tightness, a lingering issue that routinely leads to such designation. With LeBron James (groin) doubtful for the contest, Davis could be tasked with a larger offensive role.

Davis amassed 24 points (8-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-114 loss to the Kings.

Davis was dealing with an illness pregame, but he persevered and supplied a monster effort. He led all Lakers' starters in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks. Friday marked his third-consecutive contest with 20-plus points.

Davis (illness) is active for Friday's game against the Kings, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis was a game-time decision due to a non-covid illness but will in fact be available for Friday's game. With LeBron James (adductor) out, Davis will be tasked with being the primary offensive option against the Kings.

Davis (illness) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Davis participated in pregame warmups, but will ultimately have his status determined closer to game time. With LeBron James (adductor) already out, the Lakers may have to call on some unlikely names to produce if Davis also misses.

Davis has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Kings due to a non-COVID illness, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis was initially considered probable for the contest, but it appears his status for Friday's game is now up in the air due to an illness. If Davis ultimately doesn't play, Wenyen Gabriel would likely draw the start at center in his absence. With LeBron James (adductor) sidelined, the Lakers' depth will certainly be tested if Davis is unable to go.

Davis is considered probable for Friday's game against the Kings due to lower back tightness, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Davis continues to be listed on the Lakers' injury report due to the back issue, but it sounds like he's expected to be available for Friday's contest. The big man hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28 and is averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.9 blocks in 34.6 minutes per contest this season.

Davis provided 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Davis was efficient from the field and tied for the team lead with nine boards, but his output didn't do much to the move the needle for the freefalling Lakers. The big man's talent alone should allow him to put up these types of numbers on a regular basis, and his scoring could go up if Lebron James -- who left Wednesday's contest with a groin injury -- needs to miss any time. Davis has been a strong fantasy contributor thus far, averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals over 10 games.

Davis (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As expected, Davis will take the floor for a sixth straight game despite some lower back tightness that's caused him to remain on the injury report. The big man is coming off a season-high 29 points, but he may not be required to score as much against the Clippers with LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup after a one-game absence.

Davis is probable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers with lower back tightness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis is coming off his best scoring game Monday and should continue to produce at a high level if he plays Tuesday. Davis has been dealing with back issues this season but has only missed one game so far.

Davis tallied 29 points (11-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot over 29 minutes in a loss to Utah on Monday.

LeBron James sat out the contest due to a foot injury, paving the way for Davis to be the clear-cut focal point on offense. The veteran big man did well by scoring an efficient 29 points -- his high mark this season -- but also produced a season-low four boards. The Lakers are a disastrous 2-8 on the campaign thus far, but that hasn't affected Davis' stock in fantasy, as he's played in all but one contest thus far and is averaging 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals per game.

Davis (back) is available for Monday's contest against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis entered Monday probable with a lower back injury and is officially active for Los Angeles' contest against Utah. The 29-year-old will be the only All-Star in the Lakers' starting lineup with LeBron James (foot) ruled out. Across his time as a Laker, Davis has averaged 24.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists during 30 career games without James in the lineup.

Davis is considered probable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to lower back tightness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Davis will be available for Monday's matchup in Utah despite the lingering back issue. The big man is averaging 22.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks in 35.3 minutes per contest this season, and he should see a significant workload Monday with LeBron James (foot) sitting out.

Davis totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Cleveland.

Davis tallied 17 of his 19 points in the first half but scored just two points and took only two shots in 14 second-half minutes as the Lakers lost a six-point halftime lead. It was the first time he scored less than 20 points in a game this year. He has five double-doubles in eight games and his 11.1 rebounds per game are his highest mark since joining the Lakers in the 2019-20 season.

Davis (back) will play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been dealing with a back injury during most of the season, but he's in line to make his fourth straight start after missing the Oct. 28 matchup against the Timberwolves. The star big man has scored at least 20 points in each of his seven appearances.

Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

There's seemingly no end in sight for Davis' questionable designation before every game due to lower back tightness. The Lakers even excused him from shootaround before Friday's matchup so he could rest. He's played well, though. Over the past three games, he's averaged 21.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

Davis closed with 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 130-116 loss to the Jazz.

Davis started the game on a high note, dropping 14 points and hammering down multiple dunks in the first quarter. The big man slowed down considerably after that, however, tallying just eight more points the rest of the contest. He also grabbed a modest eight boards in a game during which Los Angeles was outrebounded by eight and torched for 45 combined points between Jazz big men Kelly Olynyk and Lauri Markkanen. Davis' numbers (23.0 points, 11.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game) have been very good this season, but that hasn't helped the Lakers avoid a poor 2-6 start.

Davis (back) is good to go for Friday's matchupwith the Jazz, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis missed the team's shootaround for rest purposes while nursing a sore back. It looks like his back is feeling up to par and he will give it a go against the Jazz. Barring any setbacks, he will presumably take on his usual role.

Davis (back) and LeBron James were excused from Friday's morning shootaround to keep them off their feet, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Davis remains questionable for the game against the Jazz.

Davis is fighting through back soreness but has still posted four consecutive double-doubles while averaging 21.8 points, 13.8 boards, 3.5 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.8 steals in 36.5 minutes during this stretch. Davis' chances of playing Friday reportedly haven't changed, but it's a bad sign that he needs rest so early in the year.

Davis (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been dealing with lingering back issues this season, causing him to miss one game thus far, and is listed as questionable for Friday. With the injury being relatively minor and the Laker's consistent listing of Davis and LeBron James (foot) on the injury report, it would be a bit of a surprise to see Davis sit.

Davis totaled 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-117 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Davis started off slowly, scoring just two points on 1-for-7 shooting in the first quarter. He bounced back thereafter, nailing seven of his final 10 attempts and finishing as one of three Lakers with 20-plus points. Davis also led the team in rebounds and blocks, and he's putting up big fantasy numbers this season with 23.2 points, 11.5 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.3 blocks and 2.2 steals per contest. Despite constant concerns about his health, he's sat out only one contest thus far.

Davis (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Despite a lingering back issue, Davis will tough it out Wednesday and take the floor against the Pelicans after registering another double-double in Sunday's win over the Nuggets. The superstar big man is averaging 23.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.0 blocks in 35.4 minutes per game this season. Barring any setbacks, he should receive a full workload against the Pelicans.

Davis (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis sat out Friday's contest due to low-back tightness and was labeled questionable heading into Sunday's matchup but still finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds. He admitted after the game that his back was bothering him but said he's do everything in his power to suit up Wednesday. When available, Davis has been a consistent producer for the Lakers, posting 23.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.0 blocks in 35.4 minutes per game.

Davis acknowledged after Sunday's 121-110 win over the Nuggets that his back is "killing" him, but he plans to do "everything" he can to play Wednesday against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Listed as questionable heading into Sunday after sitting out Friday's loss to the Timberwolves with lower-back tightness, Davis ultimately suited up and performed well in the Lakers' first win of the season, registering 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes. However, Davis remained seated in his post-game interview in a clear attempt to limit the strain on his back, and the issue could make him a regular fixture on Lakers injury reports for the foreseeable future. The longer turnaround before the Lakers' next game Wednesday should provide Davis some much-needed recovery time, and though he's tentatively expected to play against New Orleans, there's a good chance he's listed as probable or questionable ahead of that contest.

Davis ended with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 victory over Denver.

Davis returned after missing Friday's game (back) in Minnesota, notching his third straight double-double with a season-high rebound total. Davis has surpassed 20 points in all five appearances this season, now hauling in 10 or more rebounds in three contests.

Davis (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Coach Darvin Ham expected Davis to be available Sunday, and the 29-year-old has been cleared to play after participating in pregame warmups. Davis should serve as the Lakers' starting center to counter Nikola Jokic on Sunday.

Coach Darvin Ham said he expects Davis (back) to play Sunday against the Nuggets, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis was unavailable Friday against Minnesota and will need to go through pregame warmups before officially getting the green light Sunday, but he's certainly trending in the right direction. Over the first four games of the year, he averaged 24.0 points and 9.5 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game.

Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis missed his first game of the season Friday during the loss to Minnesota, resulting in more action for Damian Jones, Wenyen Gabriel and Troy Brown. His defensive presence would be a massive help against Nikola Jokic on Sunday.

Davis (back) will not play Friday against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

In accordance with Davis missing, Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is expected to re-enter the starting five. Davis seemed to have tweaked his back following a dunk attempt in the Lakers' most recent game and the team has opted to give their star big man more time to heal. Extra frontcourt minutes are likely to go to Damian Jones, Wenyen Gabriel and Juan Toscano-Anderson.

Davis (back) participated in shootaround but is a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has not missed a game this season but has been dealing with back tightness. The star big man's official status will not likely be revealed until closer tip-off Friday.

Davis is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to low back tightness, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis was probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup due to back tightness, but he played through the issue and logged 22 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes against the Nuggets. The 29-year-old has yet to miss time due to his back injury this year, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up once again Friday.

Davis recorded 22 points (11-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to Denver.

Although Davis entered the day with a questionable tag, he took the court anyway and led the team in points and rebounds. Davis and LeBron James will often hold questionable tags, so unless you receive news to the contrary, the questionable designations you see are usually not an indication of an absence.

Davis (back) is active for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Davis, along with LeBron James (foot), will both be in the lineup Wednesday despite being tabbed on the injury report. Across the first three contests this year, Davis has averaged 24.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.

Davis (back) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Davis is still dealing with back tightness from a hard fall, but he's expected to play. Through three games, he's averaging 24.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in 34.7 minutes.

Davis logged 22 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, six blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 106-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Davis had a strong outing over the first three quarters, scoring 20 of his 22 points and blocking five shots. He struggled to get involved in the offense in the fourth quarter, taking just one shot as Portland came back to win the game. The six blocked shots were his most in a game since Feb. 25, 2020 and Sunday was his first double-double of the season.

Davis (back) will take the floor Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis took a hard fall in Thursday's game, but he returned to the game and practiced Friday, so it was pretty evident he would play following his probable label. Davis' start is on par with previous campaigns, but the question is whether he can stay healthy for a full season after playing a combined 76 games over the previous two.

Davis (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis took a hard fall during Thursday's game against the Clippers, limiting him to just 32 minutes. He's avoided a significant injury and should be fine Sunday.

Davis returned to Thursday's contest after exiting with a back injury, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis reportedly never went to the locker room. The center just needed to stretch his back and keep it warm. Davis returned to action having already recorded 20 points, four rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes of action.

Davis (back) exited Thursday's game early, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis entered the game with back problems and was forced to leave the game with another back issue. The center tried to play through the injury that he suffered on a hard fall in the third quarter, according to Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports, but then he exited back to the locker room. Damian Jones and Juan Toscano-Anderson will see extended minutes until Davis is able to return to the game.

Davis (back) will start Thursday's game against the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis is available and will start in Thursday's battle for Los Angeles after going for 27 points, six rebounds, four steals and a block in Tuesday's season opener. The superstar big man will likely continue to show up on the injury report going forward, but barring any setbacks, he should continue to be productive every time he takes the court.

Davis (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Davis had an impressive performance in Tuesday's loss to the Warriors, posting 27 points, six rebounds, four steals and one block in 36 minutes. Davis stated a goal of his is to start all 82 games this season, so it is unlikely he'll miss out on that just two games into the season.

Davis produced 27 points (10-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 loss to the Warriors.

Davis chalked up gaudy numbers on both ends of the floor, reminding everyone just what he is capable of when healthy. Coming off another injury-plagued season, Davis is keen to prove he can still carry a team into the playoffs. His well-documented injury history resulted in many fantasy managers steering clear of him in drafts, allowing him to be selected toward the end of the second round. If he can stay on the floor, he could prove to be a huge difference-maker in both fantasy and reality.

Davis (back) will play and start in Tuesday's game against Golden State, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis will be in the starting five for the season-opening matchup against the defending champions. The 28-year-old forward averaged 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.3 blocks across 40 starts for the Lakers last season.

Davis (back) participated in the team's shootaround ahead of Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Davis, LeBron James (foot) and Russell Westbrook (hamstring) are all listed as probable and went through shootaround, which suggests that the Lakers will have all three available Tuesday. After winning the championship during his first campaign in Los Angeles, Davis has only appeared in 76 games over the last two seasons, so his health will be a major factor in Los Angeles' success during the 2022-23 campaign.

Davis is officially probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a back injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis is on the team's official injury report prior to opening night, but he's on track. Head coach Darwin Ham stated Sunday that Davis would begin the season without any type of minutes restriction, so the expectation is that his name will be listed in the starting lineup prior to tip.

Lakers head coach Devin Ham said Sunday that Davis (back) won't have any restrictions to start the 2022-23 campaign, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis was held out of the Lakers' preseason finale as a precaution due to a minor back injury, but the issue shouldn't linger into the regular season. However, durability continues to be a concern for the superstar big man, who's played fewer than 70 games in each season since 2017-18, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's subjected to periodic rest days.

Davis (back) will "definitely play" in next Tuesday's regular-season opener versus the Warriors, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis is being held out of Friday's preseason game versus the Warriors due to the Lakers being extra cautious about his back injury. However, the star big man will not miss any regular season and should be highly valued by fantasy owners.

Davis (back) won't play during Friday's preseason matchup against the Kings as a precautionary measure, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis dealt with minor back tightness earlier in the preseason, and he didn't travel with the Lakers to Sacramento ahead of the team's final exhibition matchup. Since the 28-year-old's absence is labeled as precautionary, it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for the Lakers' regular-season opener against the Warriors on Oct. 18, but it's not yet clear whether the back issue will be a lingering concern early in the year.

Davis tallied 19 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocked shots over 27 minutes in a loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Davis and LeBron James both notched a double-double in the contest, with Davis leading the team in boards and James leading in scoring. Both players have sat out two games on the exhibition slate as the Lakers look to keep them healthy after a pair of injury-plagued seasons, but Davis has been solid in the three preseason contests during which he has taken the court, averaging 19.3 points, 9.0 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.0 blocks over 21.4 minutes. Davis started at center Wednesday and could do so more frequently this season, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.

Davis registered 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a block across 21 minutes in Sunday's 124-121 win over the Warriors.

Davis looked impressive in a game where the Lakers decided to rest both LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, and as would've been expected, the star big man carried the team on offense as the Lakers secured the win against the reigning league champions. Staying healthy has always been an issue for Davis, but if he accomplishes that, he should be a driving force for the Lakers and an absolute stud in fantasy regardless of the format.

Davis (back) is expected to play during Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis was sidelined for the Lakers' last two preseason games due to minor back tightness, but he returned to practice Saturday. It's possible that the Lakers monitor his workload following his absence, but he'll likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup Sunday.

Davis (back) will be re-evaluated before Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors and could play, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis practiced Saturday -- an encouraging sign. If Davis misses Sunday's game, he'll have two more exhibitions to potentially play in before the regular-season opener Oct. 18 against the Warriors.

Davis (back) won't play in Thursday's preseason contest against Minnestoa, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Pressreports.

Davis was a late scratch for Wednesday's preseason matchup against Phoenix with minor back tightness. The Lakers, thus, won't be taking any chances with Davis during the preseason, and they'll let the veteran rest as much as he needs. The former Kentucky standout joins LeBron James (rest) and Russell Westbrook (rest) on the sidelines for Thursday's game.

Davis (back) won't play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Phoenix, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Davis was originally in the starting lineup, but was nonetheless scratched as he experienced back discomfort prior to tipoff. Wenyen Gabriel will take his place in the starting five. Looking ahead, Davis will likely be tabbed day-to-day leading up to the Lakers' next preseason matchup against Minnesota on Thursday.

Davis posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 16 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition loss to the Kings.

Davis showed no ill effects from his back injury and appeared to be close to 100 percent, especially in the paint, where he grabbed 11 rebounds. Davis will strive to be healthy this season, as various injuries during his tenure with the Lakers have occurred frequently, forcing him to miss significant time. In 2020-21, he only played 40 of 82 games.

Davis (back) will play in Monday's preseason game against the Kings, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

The team listed Davis as probable for Monday's exhibition. While coach Darvin Ham noted in pregame that Davis is dealing with some tightness, he also stated that the star forward "doesn't have anything structurally wrong," per Medina. Expect the Lakers to monitor his minutes closely Monday evening.

Davis is probable for Monday's preseason game against the Kings due to low back tightness, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

While Davis is dealing with a back issue, the injury doesn't appear to be significant. He'll likely be able to play during Monday's preseason opener, and it seems unlikely that the injury will be a long-term concern.

Davis (foot) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Nuggets, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

As expected, with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention, Davis will sit out the final three games of the season. Davis had a nice year on a per-game basis -- 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals -- but appeared in just 40 games. Various absences continue to take a toll on the big man's fantasy value, and he's appeared in just 76 games across the past two seasons.

Davis (foot) is out for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

LeBron James (ankle) has already been ruled out for the season, but the Lakers haven't gone that far yet with Davis, Russell Westbrook (shoulder) or Carmelo Anthony (illness). Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker should again be the driving forces of the offense Friday.

Davis (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The trio of Davis, LeBron James (ankle) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder) are all out for Thursday's game against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. It won't be surprising if they don't step on the court again this season.

Davis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Davis has been able to play through the mid-foot sprain since returning to the lineup April 1, but it's unclear if he'll be available against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. With LeBron James' (ankle) status also uncertain for Thursday, Dwight Howard and Wenyen Gabriel could see additional opportunities in the Lakers' frontcourt if Davis sits.

Davis ended with 21 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 loss to the Suns.

The Lakers could have used Davis' talents down the stretch, but his late flurry of production comes too late for the Lakers, who were eliminated from the playoffs in the loss. It will be interesting to see where Davis ends up in the offseason, as the veteran guard played in only 40 games this season and only 36 games in 2020-21. His injury issues could be the last straw for the Lakers, who aren't getting their money's worth. His fantasy value has taken another huge hit this season, which should adversely affect his ADP in 2022-23.

Davis (foot) is expected to be in the Lakers' starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Davis is set to make his third straight appearances following an 18-game absence due to a mid-foot sprain. Over his first two games back, the superstar forward has averaged 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 36.0 minutes per contest. Davis will have to shoulder the majority of the offensive load again Tuesday, as Los Angeles will be without LeBron James (ankle) for a second straight game.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has appeared in back-to-back games following an 18-game absence due to the mid-foot sprain. The superstar big man was also listed as questionable ahead of each of his appearances, so the injury designation shouldn't be too concerning for fantasy managers, though they should still monitor Davis' status ahead of Tuesday's 10:30 PM ET tip.

Davis notched 28 points (11-25 FG, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Davis did all he could, but the Lakers' playoff hopes fizzled before their eyes despite Davis' excellent totals. The Spurs hold the tiebreaker over the Lakers, which made Sunday's game a must-win, but Davis had his hands full without LeBron James (knee) alongside him. We should expect the Lakers to play Davis until the end, although their playoff fate is mostly out of their hands at this point.

Davis (foot) is available for Sunday's game against Denver, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis had 3 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes in his first game back from a mid-foot sprain Friday, and he's good to go Sunday after initially being labeled questionable. The 29-year-old should take on a larger offensive workload versus the Nuggets since LeBron James (ankle) is unavailable.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis played a shocking 37 minutes in his first game back from a sprained foot following an 18-game absence. He's understandably dealing with some soreness after posting 23 points, 12 boards, six assists and one steal. LeBron James (ankle) is also questionable, so fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the Lakers' injury report leading up to tipoff.

Davis ended with 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 114-111 loss to the Pelicans.

After missing the previous 18 games with a foot injury, Davis was back in the lineup for the first time since the final game before the All-Star break. While he didn't show many signs of rust, his 23 points, 12 boards and six assists weren't enough to push the Lakers past the Pelicans in an ultra-important game for play-in purposes. Now trailing the Spurs by 1.0 game, and lacking the tiebreaker, the Lakers are on course to do the unthinkable and miss the playoffs entirely.

Davis (foot) is set to return to the Lakers' lineup in Friday's matchup with the Pelicans, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

No surprise here, as Davis had been trending in this direction. He will step on the court for the first time since Feb. 16. It is unclear what type of workload he will see, but it is reasonable to expect the Lakers to limit his minutes in order to avoid any setbacks.

Davis (foot), who is planning to play, is officially questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis was initially expected to be a game-time call, then it seemed like he was essentially a lock to play, but now he's being listed as questionable. It's tough to discern exactly what to expect, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he takes the court for the first time since Feb. 16. A minutes limit could be attached to his return given the long layoff, but the Lakers are in do-or-die territory.

Davis (foot) plans to return Friday against the Pelicans, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Earlier Thursday, it was reported Davis would be a game-time call. That may still technically be the case, but it seems more likely than not now that he'll see the floor. He'll presumably be on a minutes limit, though Friday's game has significant play-in ramifications, so the Lakers will likely want him out there as much as possible.

Davis (foot) is progressing towards being a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Davis was initially doubtful for Thursday's game against the Jazz, and this report essentially confirms that he's out. Davis hasn't played since the All-Star break, as he's been recovering from a sprained right foot. If he returns Friday, he'll presumably be on a minutes limit. That said, the Lakers are at risk of missing the play-in games, so ramping him up quickly could be the priority.

Davis (foot) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has said that he's targeting a return Friday against the Pelicans or Sunday against the Nuggets, so it isn't very surprising to see him doubtful ahead of Thursday's matchup. Assuming he's held out, Dwight Howard and Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) could see additional run.

Davis (foot) is targeting a return Friday against the Pelicans or Sunday against the Nuggets, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Davis was a full participant in Monday's practice, and it looks like he'll be returning sooner than later. His presence is much-needed, as LeBron James (ankle) is dealing with a significant ankle injury and the Lakers are fighting for a play-in spot. He last played Feb. 16, so he'll likely be eased back into things with a minutes limit in his first games back.

Davis (foot) has officially been ruled out of Tuesday's game at Dallas, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News reports.

The big man was able to return to practice Monday, but there was never much belief that he'd be able to play Tuesday night. His next chance to return from his sprained right foot will come Thursday at Utah.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (foot) was a full participant during Monday's practice, but he remains doubtful for Tuesday's contest against Dallas, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Monday marked the first practice Davis has fully participated in since he suffered the foot injury in mid-February. From a fantasy perspective, it remains unclear if Davis will be able to return to full strength soon enough to make a difference in the playoffs. However, it appears the Lakers may be getting their star forward back for a potential run in the play-in tournament.

Davis (foot) will return to light, on-court activities Monday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Coach Frank Vogel stopped short of saying Davis will be able to return before the end of the season, but the big man seems to be moving in the right direction as he works back from a sprained right foot. Vogel said Davis will begin spot-up shooting Monday after he was able to shed his walking boot over the weekend. From a fantasy perspective, Davis' season is essentially done, but the Lakers' goal is to have him back healthy and fully up to speed in time for the play-in tournament prior to the postseason.

Davis (foot) is no longer sporting a walking boot and is scheduled to undergo an MRI at some point during the upcoming week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Speaking about Davis' situation Saturday on ABC's "NBA Countdown" show, Wojnarowski said the Lakers star big man is progressing as anticipated from the right mid-foot sprain he sustained Feb. 16. Now that Davis' boot is off, he'll scheduled to take the next step forward in his recovery this week by taking part in some stationary on-court shooting this week, with the accompanying MRI likely determining whether he's fit to increase his basketball activities beyond that. Even though the Lakers sit at 29-37 for the season and face a tough schedule over their final 16 games, Wojnarowski notes that the team is still aiming to secure a spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament, with the hope that Davis' eventual return helps the team secure a playoff berth.

Davis (ankle) underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed a mid-foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Lakers initially provided a timeline of just two weeks after Davis left Wednesday's matchup against Utah with a sprain, but after further testing, team doctors have adjusted their timeline. This puts Davis out at least until mid-March and likely longer, considering he'll need to get back into game shape after missing a month of play.

Davis is expected to miss at least two weeks after exiting Wednesday's 106-101 win over the Jazz in the second quarter due to a right ankle sprain, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Though initial X-rays administered following his departure from Wednesday's contest detected no structural damage to Davis' ankle, he's apparently dealing with at least a Grade 2 sprain, given the estimated recovery timeline. Teammate LeBron James said after the game that Davis required the use of crutches to move about the locker room, and the 28-year-old could eventually transition into a walking boot once the inflammation in the ankle subsides. The upcoming All-Star break will help Davis avoid more extended game action, but he'll still be sidelined when the Lakers open up their second-half schedule Feb. 25 versus the Clippers. With Davis out of the mix, Dwight Howard could become a more regular part of the rotation, though it's possible that James logs more time as a small-ball center like he did earlier in the season when Davis was sidelined for over a month with an MCL sprain of his left knee. Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker are among the players that could all see slight bumps in u

Davis had X-rays on his right ankle come back negative after leaving Wednesday's game against the Jazz, and he was diagnosed with a sprain, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

It's good early news for Davis, who was in significant pain after landing on Rudy Gobert's foot and rolling his ankle during Wednesday's contest. The Lakers big man will receive treatment over the All-Star break before being re-evaluated next week, so he'll unsurprisingly miss out on the All-Star festivities this weekend due to the injury. Davis will also undergo an MRI on Thursday, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

Davis was helped to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Jazz after rolling his right ankle, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis landed on Rudy Gobert's foot while coming down with rebound late in the first half, and he appeared to be in significant pain after suffering what appeared to be a severe ankle turn. The 28-year-old was unable to put any weight on his leg while being helped off the court, and he's likely at least dealing with a ankle sprain. He had 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 17 minutes before exiting the contest. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Davis' availability for the All-Star Game this weekend, as well as the second half of the season, is now up in the air.

Davis (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis' wrist continues to bother him, but he's appeared in seven straight games. During this stretch, he's averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.3 steals in 37.9 minutes.

Davis (wrist) is available Saturday against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

As expected, Davis will see the court for a seventh straight game. During this stretch, he's averaged 25.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.5 steals.

Davis (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to manage a sore right wrist, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again Saturday. He's averaged 25.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 38.3 minutes per game across his last six appearances.

Davis notched 17 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, five blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to Portland.

Davis' five blocked shots matched a season-high, and although his shot volume was low, he managed an accurate night after a brief absence. The LAkers need a solid second half to ensure a playoff berth, and it will require both Davi and LeBron James to be healthy. As long as Davis stays off the injury report, he is one of the top fantasy producers in the conference.

Davis (wrist) is officially available for Wednesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis will once again play through the wrist injury that hasn't seemed to slow him down. The 28-year-old is averaging a solid 27.4 points and 12.6 rebounds over his last five games and also picked up three 15-plus rebound games in that span.

Davis (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Danny Marang of BlazersEdge.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with a sore right wrist, but it appears likely that he'll be able to play through the issue once again Wednesday. The 28-year-old has averaged 27.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 37.8 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Davis registered 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 131-116 loss to Milwaukee.

Despite a decent line, Davis failed to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo, who made the Bucks' win look incredibly easy. The bright spot for the Lakers is that both Davis and LeBron James were without an injury tag for the first time in quite a while.

Davis (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

As expected, Davis will see the court despite right wrist soreness. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 29.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.3 minutes.

Davis (wrist) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, Harrison Faigen of SB Nation reports.

Davis has now played heavy minutes in four straight games, so his inclusion on the injury report is likely precautionary. The big man is playing his best basketball of the season since returning from a 17-game absence. Over his last five games, he's posted 29.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.8 blocks in 37.2 minutes.

Davis ended with 28 points (13-19 FG, 2-5 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals over 41 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 overtime win over the Knicks.

Davis was efficient from the field en route to his fifth straight game with at least 27 points. During that stretch, the talented big man has averaged 29.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.2 minutes. Davis will look to continue his elite play in a clash with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Tuesday.

Davis finished with 30 points (12-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 111-110 loss to the Clippers.

Davis was dominant for the Lakers against their crosstown rivals, slamming home nine dunks and dropping his second straight performance of 30 points, 15-plus boards and multiple blocks. However, his potential game-winning runner went halfway down before rimming out as time expired. Despite the disappointing finish, Davis has demonstrated that his recent monthlong layoff hasn't affected his elite play, as he is averaging 29.5 points, 12.3 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals over his past four games.

Davis (wrist) will play in Thursday's contest against the Clippers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis will once again play after being labeled as probable heading into Thursday's contest. The 6-foot-10 star will play a key role against the Clippers, as LeBron James (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive game. Expect Davis to continue his dominant stretch, as he is averaging 29.3 points and 10.7 rebounds in his past three games.

Davis (wrist) is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis played through the injury during Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers and is expected to do so again for the second half of the back-to-back set Thursday. The 28-year-old should continue to be the centerpiece of the Los Angeles offense since LeBron James (knee) is likely to remain unavailable. Davis has averaged 29.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 blocks while shooting 57.6 percent from the field over his past three games.

Davis closed with 30 points (10-18 FG, 10-14 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-94 win over Portland.

Davis again featured as the centerpiece of the Lakers' offense with LeBron James (knee) missing his fourth straight contest. The 6-foot-10 veteran notched his second performance of 30-plus points in his past three games and led the Lakers in scoring, rebounds and blocked shots. Davis is averaging 29.3 points, 10.7 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.3 steals over his past three contests.

Davis (wrist) will play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

According to head coach Frank Vogel, Davis will play on Wednesday and is also expected to be available for Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. With LeBron James (knee) missing a fourth consecutive game, Davis figures to see another significant workload as long as the wrist holds up ok. The star big man is averaging 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks across 35.0 minutes per game this season.

The Lakers list Davis (wrist) as probable for Wednesday's contest against the Trail Blazers.

Davis played through the wrist issue Sunday and totaled 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes. Barring a setback, the star big man will likely be available and see a similar workload against Portland on Wednesday.

Davis provided 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 loss to Atlanta.

Although he posted a below-average rebound total, Davis shot 50 percent from the floor in the loss. Without LeBron James (knee), Davis and Malik Monk did their best to absorb James' production but ultimately came up short with an offensive breakdown in the second half.

Davis (wrist) will play Sunday against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Sunday, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up in Atlanta after missing the previous contest. The 28-year-old should carry an increased offensive workload with LeBron James (knee) unavailable.

Davis (wrist) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Davis recently returned from an extended absence due to an MCL sprain of his knee, but it was a sore right wrist that kept him from playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday in Charlotte. The Lakers are apparently confident the wrist issue isn't a major concern, however, and Davis should be formally cleared to play if he makes it through pregame warmups ahead of the 1 p.m. ET tipoff without incident. In his most recent game Thursday in Philadelphia, Davis submitted one of his best outings of the season, scoring 31 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist.

Davis (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Davis was unavailable Friday against the Hornets due to right wrist soreness, but he'll have a chance to return Sunday. If he remains sidelined, the Lakers would be shorthanded in the frontcourt once again since LeBron James (knee) has already been ruled out.

Davis (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis sustained a wrist injury in Thursday's loss to the 76ers and will be unavailable for the second half of the backt-to-back set. Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan should see increased run with Davis and LeBron James (knee) out.

Davis (wrist) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Hornets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis briefly left Thursday's loss to the Sixers due to the wrist injury, but he was able to return and posted an elite state line -- 31 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two steals. If he's eventually ruled out, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan would be forced to man the center position, though the Lakers could also play small with LeBron James (knee) at the five, if he's available that is.

Davis provided 31 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 105-87 loss to the 76ers.

Davis finished the loss with his best overall performance in quite some time. While the production was nothing but elite, he was forced to the locker room earlier in the piece due to a hand injury. Although he managed to return, X-rays were required at the conclusion of the game. Fortunately, he was given the all-clear; however, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Hornets.

Davis (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis will play Thursday after being considered probable, though his availability for the second half of the back-to-back set Friday at Charlotte remains to be seen. The 28-year-old may take on a heavier offensive workload against Philadelphia since LeBron James (knee) is sitting out.

Davis (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis was back on the court in Tuesday's win over the Nets after missing 17 games with an MCL sprain, and he totaled eight points, two rebounds, two assists, four blocks and a steal in 25 minutes. While it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction once again Thursday as he continues to work on his conditioning, it appears likely that he'll be available for the first half of the back-to-back set.

Davis posted eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 win over the Nets.

Davis returned to the court Tuesday, playing with a firm minutes restriction. While his numbers weren't eye-popping, his impact was clear for all to see. The five defensive counters highlight just how important he is to the team, as well as to fantasy managers. The medical staff is going to want to ease him back slowly, so it is unlikely he is back to full speed for at least a handful of games. That said, he is more than capable of putting up elite value in limited minutes and so he is a clear must-start player moving forward.

Davis (knee) will make his return to action Tuesday night against Brooklyn, Chris Haynes of The Athletic reports. He will face an unspecified minutes restriction.

Davis was listed as probable coming into the day, and the team has since confirmed that he'll be back on the floor for the first time since spraining his MCL against Minnesota on Dec. 17. For fantasy purposes, the minutes restriction probably makes Davis a stay-away in DFS contests, but the hope is that he'll be back up to full speed by the end of the week. Looking ahead, it's very possible the Lakers could hold Davis out of one-half of their upcoming back-to-back set Thursday (at PHI) and Friday (at CHA). Prior to the injury, Davis averaged 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 blocks with 52/18/73 shooting splits.

Davis (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has missed the last 17 games due to an MCL sprain in his left knee but returned to practice recently and appears to have a good chance to return Tuesday. Coach Frank Vogel expressed issues with Davis' conditioning over the weekend, so it's likely that the 28-year-old will be eased into action if he's ultimately available against Brooklyn.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Heat, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

After missing the Lakers' last 16 games with an MCL sprain of his left knee, Davis was upgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. The change in status suggests that Davis is on the cusp of a return to the lineup, but Vogel said the big man still needs more time to regain conditioning and strengthening his knee. The Lakers are encouraged by the progress Davis has made and were encouraged by how he looked in practice Saturday, so the 28-year-old seemingly isn't dealing with any setbacks. He can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Lakers' upcoming four-game week, which begins Tuesday with a matchup against the Nets.

Davis (knee) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat and will be a game-time decision, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Davis last played Dec. 17, spraining his MCL in that contest against the Timberwolves. He was re-evaluated this week, and he's quickly become questionable ahead of Sunday's game. When Davis returns, he'll presumably have his minutes monitored out of the gate, though he could still start. Davis suiting up could mean fewer minutes for Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Austin Reaves.

Coach Frank Vogel said Friday that Davis (knee) will be evaluated "next week," Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis suffered a sprained MCL on Dec. 17 and was expected to be sidelined for at least a month, so it makes sense that he's due for an evaluation. Before his injury, he scored 20-plus points in 15 of his last 16 contests and was averaging 24.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.4 steals across 37.9 minutes during that stretch. The Lakers are expected to continue playing small ball with LeBron James at center until Davis is cleared to return.

Davis (knee) suffered a sprained MCL during Friday's game against the Timberwolves and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

What was initially labeled a knee contusion is now revealed to be a sprained MCL for Davis. He's been relatively healthy all year, so this is a tough blow for the oft-injured big man. While Davis is out, DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard (COVID-19 protocols), Carmelo Anthony and other frontcourt options should be in line for more minutes.

Davis has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left knee contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis had his left knee rolled up on in the third quarter of Friday's matchup, and he'll be further evaluated to help determine the extent of the injury. He dealt with right ankle and left knee injuries against Minnesota but finished the game with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound and a block in 20 minutes. If he's forced to miss additional time, DeAndre Jordan and Jay Huff should see additional frontcourt duties.

Davis went to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against Minnesota with an apparent left knee injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis dealt with a right ankle issue in the first half of Friday's matchup but was able to return shortly before halftime. However, he had his left knee rolled up on in the third quarter and went to the locker room right after sustaining the injury. DeAndre Jordan and Jay Huff could see additional playing time if Davis is unable to return to the game.

Davis (ankle) has returned to Friday's game against Minnesota, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis rolled his ankle late in the first quarter of Friday's matchup but returned to the game shortly before halftime. It's not yet clear whether he'll have any limitations for the remainder of the contest, but it's encouraging to see him back in action.

Davis went to the locker room in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Timberwolves with an apparent right ankle injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis dealt with left knee soreness ahead of Friday's matchup but was in the starting lineup against Minnesota. However, he was grabbing his right ankle when he went down late in the first quarter Friday, and he limped to the locker room shortly after leaving the game. If he's unable to return, DeAndre Jordan and Jay Huff should see increased run.

Davis (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis will be able to play through left knee soreness for a second consecutive game Friday. He played 39 minutes in his return to the court Wednesday and should see plenty of usage against the Timberwolves since the Lakers have several players in the league's health and safety protocols.

Davis (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis returned to the court for Wednesday's overtime win over Dallas following a two-game absence, and it appears as though he'll be able to suit up again Friday. He logged 20 points, 12 rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes Wednesday.

Davis registered 20 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 107-104 overtime win over Dallas.

Davis missed the previous two games with left knee soreness, but he returned to action Wednesday and didn't appear to have any restrictions. The 28-year-old posted his 13th double-double of the season and finished with a plus-21 when on the court.

Davis (knee) will play in Wednesday's contest against the Mavericks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The All-Star forward has missed the Lakers' past two showings, but will be back in the lineup for the team's showdown with Dallas on Wednesday. Dwight Howard figures to return back to the bench due to Davis' return. The Lakers are certainly happy to have the Kentucky product back in their lineup as he has averaged 24.0 points and 10.2 rebounds across 35.8 minutes per game to begin the season.

Davis (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Mavericks.

Davis is expected to return from a two-game absence due to left knee soreness. The star big man underwent testing that revealed no structural damage, so the decision to hold him out was likely out of an abundance of caution. Before his absence, Davis notched at least 20 points in five of six contests, and in the only game he didn't eclipse 20 points, he registered a massive all-around performance with 17 points, 16 boards, three assists, two steals and two blocks.

Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has missed back-to-back games due to left knee soreness, but he recently underwent tests that revealed no structural damage and is considered day-to-day. If he is unable to suit up Wednesday, then Dwight Howard would likely draw another start at center.

Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis will miss a second consecutive game due to left knee soreness, but he recently underwent tests that revealed no structural damage. Coach Frank Vogel said Sunday that Davis is considered day-to-day. Dwight Howard will likely start at center once again.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis has a chance to return to the court Sunday after he was unable to suit up in Friday's win over Oklahoma City. If he's available against Orlando, it wouldn't be surprising to see him handle a full workload after he averaged 23.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 38.5 minutes per game across his last six appearances.

Davis (knee) is out for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis will miss just his second game of the season Friday. In his absence, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan figure to see increased roles.

Davis is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to left knee soreness, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Davis has recently been dealing with a thumb injury, but he's now been added to the injury report due to knee soreness. If Davis is forced to miss Friday's game, more minutes could be in store for Carmelo Anthony, DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard.

Davis posted 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-95 loss to the Grizzlies.

Davis led the Lakers in scoring in the contest, posting his eighth 20-plus point performance in his past nine games. He also extended his streak of efforts with at least one blocked shot to five contests and fell just two rebounds short of his third straight double-double. After a mildly disappointing 2020-21 campaign, Davis has bounced back with per-game averages of 24.0 points, 10.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 blocked shots and 1.3 steals through 25 games this season.

Davis (thumb) is available against the Grizzlies on Thursday, according to Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register.

Davis' availability status was probable previously, so fantasy managers should not be surprised that he is available Thursday. The 28-year-old averaged 26.5 points -- on a 53.2 field goal percentage -- and 2.5 blocks across his last four away games.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies.

Davis continues to be listed as probable with a left thumb sprain, but the issue hasn't forced him to miss any contests yet. Over his last five games, the star big man is averaging 23.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.4 blocks and 2.0 steals across 38.6 minutes per game.

Davis closed with 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 117-102 victory over the Celtics.

Tuesday marks the first time since Nov. 17 that Davis has failed to score 20 points, but he was extremely active on the glass and was strong defensively. He recorded his most rebounds since grabbing 18 boards on Nov. 4, and he's now on a five-game streak of recording at least one steal and one block.

Davis (thumb) is available Tuesday against the Celtics, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis will shift over to center for Tuesday's game. In his past five appearances, he's averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals in 38.4 minutes.

Davis is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Boston due to a left thumb sprain, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis continues to play through a thumb injury, and the expectation is that he'll continue to do so Tuesday. He's averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists over his last five contests (38.4 minutes).

Davis notched 27 points (10-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 119-115 loss to the Clippers.

The Lakers' two-game winning streak came to an end, but it was another strong fantasy performance for Davis, who's now scored at least 20 points in seven straight games. Defensively, Davis is off to a fantastic start (2.2 BPG, 1.3 SPG), but he's shooting just 18.8 percent from three, and he's down to a career-low 72.1 percent at the free throw line.

Davis (thumb) has been cleared to play in Friday's matchup with the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was probable heading into the night, so no surprise here. Barring any setbacks, look for the Lakers' star big man to resume his usual role. He will be starting opposite Dwight Howard in the frontcourt.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Friday's contest against the Clippers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The All-Star forward was initially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to a thumb injury but appears on track to play against the Clippers. Davis is almost quietly having a great season with the Lakers, averaging 24.3 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game this season. If the 28-year-old can't suit up his next chance to return to the court comes Tuesday against the Celtics.

Davis (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis played through a head injury Tuesday against the Kings, but he's now dealing with a left thumb sprain. Across his last three appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 24.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.0 rebounds in 40.7 minutes per game.

Davis (head) posted 25 points (12-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 117-92 victory over the Kings.

Davis continues to put up monster two-way statlines. With LeBron James (COVID-19 protocols) out for several games, the Lakers will presumably lean on Davis more than usual on both ends.

Davis (head) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Kings, Harrison Faigen of LakersSBN reports.

Davis was listed as probable ahead of Sunday's 110-106 win over the Pistons, but he was able to suit up and registered 24 points and 10 rebounds. Barring a setback, the star big man will likely be available for his usual workload Tuesday.

Davis closed Sunday's 110-106 win over the Pistons with 24 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 38 minutes.

Davis was dynamic on both ends of the floor during the win, continuing what has been a magnificent start to the season. Despite being a regular feature on the daily injury report, Davis has been relatively healthy thus far. Fantasy managers have to be thrilled with the return on investment and moving forward, the hope is that he can simply stay healthy.

Davis (head) is starting Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Davis was listed as probable ahead of Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him available against Detroit. He totaled 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals in 49 minutes during Friday's loss to the Kings.

Davis (head) is probable for Sunday's contest against the Pistons.

Davis landed on the injury report Saturday with a head contusion, but he has no concussive symptoms and is likely to play Sunday. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but he didn't seem to be bothered at all Friday, when he totaled 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals across 49 minutes.

Davis provided 23 points (9-22 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals over 49 minutes during Friday's 141-137 3OT loss to Sacramento.

While it was another strong defensive effort for Davis, it was overshadowed by the Lakers blowing a double-digit lead and failing to close out one of the league's worst teams in three overtime periods. After missing Wednesday's win over the Pacers, Davis struggled from the floor, the free throw line, and from three, where he's now down to an unbelievably poor 16.7 percent (7-42 3PT) on the season. After shooting 26.0 percent from deep last season and 33.0 percent in 2019-20, Davis' outside shot has completely abandoned him to the point that he's no longer a threat from that area of the floor. Still, Davis remains an elite fantasy option thanks to his scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions. Entering the weekend, he's up to 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game.

Davis (illness) is available against the Kings on Sunday.

Davis is no longer on the league's injury report. Though he sat out one game because of a non-COVID illness, it should not prevent him from playing well against an underwhelming Kings team. Davis averaged 26.9 points and 2.1 blocks across the Lakers' previous seven home games.

Davis (illness) will not play during Wednesday's contest against the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

The All-Star big will miss his first game of the season due to an illness. Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard are both candidates to see more run in Davis' absence. The Kentucky product's next chance to return comes Friday against the Kings.

Davis (illness) is unlikely to play Wednesday against the Pacers, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Davis played through an illness Tuesday but is seemingly feeling worse Wednesday. Assuming he's out, more minutes could be available for Carmelo Anthony, Talen Horton-Tucker, DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard.

Davis (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Davis continues to deal with a non-COVID illness and will land on the injury report once again. He played through the issue Tuesday and logged 20 points, six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

Davis accumulated 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-11 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks.

Davis didn't have his best game and while his final scoring output still looked good, it was due to his volume and not because he was an efficient scorer. The shooting woes aren't a regular issue with Davis, however, and there's a chance this was nothing more than a subpar outing for him -- based on his standards as an elite big men, though. He will try to bounce back Wednesday on the road against the Pacers.

Davis (illness) will play Tuesday against the Knicks, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Despite waking up with a fever, Davis is feeling healthy enough to play Tuesday night. With LeBron James (suspension) out, Davis could see more usage.

Davis (illness) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Davis apparently woke up with a fever Tuesday, leading him to be downgraded from probable to questionable as he dealing with flu-like symptoms. It's not a COVID-related illness, so the 28-year-old shouldn't miss extended time even if he's deemed unavailable versus New York.

Davis (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game at New York, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Davis is seemingly always banged up, and he entered the day listed as probable due to a bruised thigh. The Lakers have since clarified that he's now closer to a 50-50 call to play, as he battles flu-like symptoms. The good news is Davis' illness is not COVID-related, so even if he does sit out Tuesday, he likely wouldn't miss extended time. The Lakers will already be without LeBron James (suspension) as they enter the first half of a pre-Thanksgiving back-to-back.

Davis (thigh) is probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis emerged from last Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee with a bruised thigh, but he has been able to play through the issue, so he will likely be available Tuesday. The star big man hasn't missed a game this season and is averaging 24.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.1 minutes per game.

Davis supplied 30 points (11-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and four steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 win over Detroit.

Davis had to step his game with LeBron James being ejected, and the star big man responded with his second straight 30-point game -- a figure he's also reached in four of his last eight contests. Regardless of whether James gets suspended or not due to Sunday's fracas against Detroit, expect Davis to be heavily involved once again when the Lakers take on the Knicks on Tuesday.

Davis (thigh) is available against the Pistons on Sunday.

A bruised thigh did not prevent Davis from playing Friday -- against the Celtics -- and won't do the same Sunday. He logged 31 points across 37 minutes at Boston, so his fantasy managers should expect a reasonable stat line against an unimpressive Pistons team.

Davis (thigh) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

The Lakers continue to list Davis as probable, and he's played in every game this season. Across his past five appearances, he's averaged 25.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Davis (thigh) is starting Friday's game against the Celtics, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was probable ahead of Friday's matchup, so it's not very surprising to see him in the starting five. He's averaged 24.0 points and 10.0 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game across his last three appearances.

Davis is probable for Friday's matchup against the Celtics with a bruised right thigh, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has emerged from Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee with a bruised thigh but should be able to play Friday, and it's possible LeBron James (abdomen) makes his return. Over the past six games, Davis is averaging 25.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 37.5 minutes.

Davis (thumb) is starting Wednesday's game at Milwaukee, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has played through a sprained right thumb over the past couple weeks, and he'll do so again Wednesday after being labeled probable. The 28-year-old will continue to lead the Lakers offensively with LeBron James (abdomen) still sidelined.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Bucks.

Davis continues to find his way on the injury report due to a nagging thumb issue, but he hasn't had to miss any games. The star big man is averaging 24.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals across 34.5 minutes for the Lakers this season.

Davis was ejected from Monday's game against Chicago after picking up two technical fouls. He finished with 20 points (6-9 FG, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.

Davis picked up his second technical foul in the game near the end of the third quarter. He appeared upset with the officials, who allowed Chicago to inbound the ball while he was missing a shoe. While an early exit isn't exactly what fantasy managers are looking for out of the star forward, he still managed to put together a serviceable line.

Davis (thumb) is starting Monday's game against Chicago, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis continues to find his way on the injury report due to a nagging thumb issue, but he'll be good to go Monday. Coach Frank Vogel stated before tipoff that Davis' status is "game-to-game," likely meaning the issue is still impacting the Kentucky product.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis will carry an injury designation once again as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain, but he was able to play through his injury Sunday. He didn't appear to have any restrictions in the win over the Spurs, as he totaled 34 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 40 minutes.

Davis compiled 34 points (14-24 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 40 minutes in Sunday's 114-106 win over the Spurs.

Davis' thumb injury may be improving if Sunday's stat line is any indication of his overall health. His performance is exactly what the Lakers need to help them right the ship, especially with LeBron James (abdomen) sidelined. The debut of Talen Horton-Tucker should be a great help to Davis, who desperately needs additional playmakers as he carries the team on his shoulders.

Davis (thumb) will start Sunday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis seemingly always dealing with some sort of nagging injury, and his most recent ailment is a sprained thumb. The big man will continue to play through the issue as the Lakers look to bounce back from an ugly, blowout loss to the Timberwolves on Friday night. Davis finished that game with 22 points, eight boards, two assists, three steals and three blocks.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.

Davis continues to play through a sprained thumb. Over his past three appearances, he's averaged 26.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 2.3 steals in 40.0 minutes.

Davis closed with 22 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 107-83 loss to Minnesota.

While the Lakers once again struggled without LeBron James (abdominal), Davis wasn't necessarily to blame, as he had a fantastic all-around fantasy game, highlighted by three blocks and three steals. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook finished as a minus-32 in 31 minutes, while the Lakers' bench combined to make just four of its 23 three-point attempts. Davis and the Lakers will look to bounce back Sunday against the Spurs.

Davis (thumb) is available for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Davis was listed as probable heading into Friday's matchup, so it's not very surprising to see him active against the Timberwolves. He's averaged 22.8 points and 11.0 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis is considered probable for the third consecutive contest as he continues to play through a sprained right thumb. Not counting the game he played only seven minutes due to an illness, the 28-year-old has averaged 28.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.8 blocks and 2.0 steals over his past four appearances.

Davis played 45 minutes in Wednesday's 120-117 overtime win over the Heat, collecting 24 points (10-23 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

The Brow finished as the Lakers' third-leading scorer in the win, but he led the team in rebounding and collected his seventh double-double of the campaign. Davis has been logging heavy court time of late, playing 44 minutes against Charlotte on Monday and 45 minutes versus Miami on Wednesday. He is still dealing with an injured thumb and has recently battled a non-COVID illness, but Davis is nonetheless putting up a healthy 23.9 points, 11.3 boards and 2.3 blocks per contest.

Davis (thumb) will play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Davis has yet to miss a game this season despite landing on the injury report on a fairly consistent basis, and his status for Wednesday was never truly in doubt. The star big man is averaging 23.9 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 blocks in 34 minutes per game this season and should continue to fill the stat sheet as long as he remains healthy.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Heat, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis hasn't missed a game all season, though he's often been on the injury report. Putting aside the Nov. 6 game that he played seven minutes, Davis is averaging 26.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.2 steals this season.

Davis totaled 32 points (13-25 PG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, five blocked shots and three steals over 44 minutes in Monday's 126-123 overtime win over Charlotte.

Davis turned in a monster performance in the victory, leading Los Angeles in scoring and tying Russell Westbrook for the team lead in rebounds. He also swatted a season-high five shots and tied his campaign high with three steals. Davis was unable to convert from beyond the arc for the fifth straight game, but it's nitpicking to focus on that mark in light of his full stat line. The big man has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, posting per-game averages of 23.9 points, 11.1 boards and 2.4 blocks through 11 contests.

Davis (thumb) is starting Monday's game against Charlotte, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was upgraded to probable earlier in the day, so this latest update comes as no surprise. The Kentucky product is averaging 23.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.1 blocks through his first 10 games of the 2021 season.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Monday's contest against the Hornets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Coach Frank Vogel said Monday that Davis is dealing with common cold symptoms and still has some soreness in his right thumb, but the star big man participated in shootaround and will likely play Monday. LeBron James (abdominal) will remain out against the Hornets, so if Davis is available, the Lakers will likely rely on him early and often. The 28-year-old is averaging 23.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.1 blocks across 33.1 minutes to start the 2021-22 campaign.

Davis (finger) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Hornets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

The forward exited the Lakers' last contest early due to a stomach illness, but is listed as questionable Monday due to a finger injury. Los Angeles will already be without LeBron James (abdominal) for Monday's contest, so losing Davis would leave Russell Westbrook as the only remaining active All-Star for the team. If Davis is ruled out, expect more minutes for Deandre Jordan, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony.

Davis played only seven minutes against Portland on Saturday due to a stomach illness, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis went just 1-for-5 from the field and grabbed two rebounds during his brief time on the court. He departed in the the first half and was unable to return to the contest. It's not yet clear whether Davis is in danger of missing the Lakers' next game, which will take place on Monday against Charlotte.

Davis (thumb) will play Saturday against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Despite a sprained right thumb, Davis will remain in the starting lineup. He should continue to see increased usage with LeBron James (abdomen) out.

Davis (thumb) is questionable for Saturday's game at Portland, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis suffered the thumb sprain during Thursday's loss to Oklahoma City, though he remained in the contest and still played 38 minutes. LeBron James (abdomen) is already set to be sidelined for at least the next week, and the Lakers could be even more shorthanded Saturday should Davis be ruled out.

Davis sprained his right thumb in Thursday's loss to Oklahoma City but remained in the contest and finished with 29 points (11-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots and one steal over 38 minutes.

The thumb injury occurred just before halftime when Davis knocked his hand against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's leg. However, the big man was able to return to the contest and led the Lakers in both scoring and rebounding while registering his fifth double-double of the campaign. Davis was non-committal after the game about his ability to play against Portland on Saturday, saying of the thumb, "We'll see how it feels," per Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA.

Davis (knee) is starting in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was expected to play Thursday and now that has been confirmed. Despite popping up on the injury report ahead of each of the last four games, Davis has been dominant, averaging 22 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 33.3 minutes per game., He should continue to hold an extremely prominent role on offense while LeBron James (abdomen) is sidelined.

Davis (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been deemed probable for the past few matchups, but it hasn't affected his playing time much, as the forward is averaging 33.3 minutes over his last four appearances. Expect Davis to play his usual role during Thursday's contest versus the Thunder barring any major setbacks prior to tipoff.

Davis (knee) is available Tuesday against the Rockets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

As expected, Davis will continue to play through right knee soreness. He has yet to miss a game and is averaging 24.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

Davis (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been dealing with soreness in his right knee throughout the past week, though he has yet to miss a game, and that's not expected to change Tuesday. The 28-year-old has seen a dip in production and is averaging just 15.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 32.0 minutes across the past two contests.

Davis (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Rockets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was initially listed as probable as he deals with some soreness in his knee, which he initially tweaked against OKC on Wednesday, but his status was never truly in much doubt. The big man is off to a strong start to the season (26.2 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 2.5 BPG), but he's shooting 73.7 percent at the free throw line and is just 3-of-16 from beyond the arc through six games.

Davis (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Houston, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was considered questionable Wednesday against the Thunder and probable Friday against the Cavaliers but wound up appearing in both games. It looks as though he's set to suit up again Sunday despite lingering knee soreness.

Davis (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis drew a probable designation ahead of Friday's game due to knee soreness that has been bothering him in recent days. Barring any setbacks, he projects to take on his usual role in the frontcourt against Cleveland.

Head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (knee) is expected to play in Friday's contest against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis is dealing with knee soreness and was listed as probable for Friday's matchup, but he'll likely be available against the Cavaliers. With LeBron James (ankle) out, the star big man has elevated his game, averaging 39.5 minutes, 32.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game across his last two appearances.

Davis (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis averaged 39.5 minutes per game across his last two appearances but is dealing with right knee soreness ahead of Friday's matchup. However, he'll likely be able to suit up against Cleveland.

Davis had 30 points (12-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and a steal across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Thunder.

Davis has been forced to carry a bigger scoring load with LeBron James (ankle) out while also dealing with a knee issue of his own, but he's been nothing short of outstanding so far -- he has scored at least 22 points in every game and has recorded three games with at least 30 points already. With three double-doubles to go along those scoring numbers and multiple blocks in four of his first five appearances, fantasy managers who invested a first-round pick in Davis are already reaping the benefits of that decision.

Davis (knee) will play Wednesday against the Thunder, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis was dealing with knee pain after an impressive performance against the Spurs on Tuesday with LeBron James (ankle) sidelined. James is out again Wednesday. In four appearances, Davis is averaging 28.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.8 assists in 38.3 minutes.

Davis (knee) is warming up and is a true game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Thunder, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

The 6-foot-10 forward had his best performance of his season Tuesday, finishing with 35 points and 17 rebounds, but is still uncertain for Wednesday's contest against the Thunder. If Davis can not suit up, expect Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and Deandre Jordan to be in line to see more opportunities in his absence.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis posted a strong double-double Tuesday with 35 points and 17 rebounds in 42 minutes during the overtime win over the Spurs, but he emerged from the contest with a sore right knee. If the 28-year-old is held out for the second half of the back-to-back set, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan should see plenty of work in the frontcourt, especially since LeBron James (ankle) is unavailable.

Davis is managing knee soreness following Tuesday's overtime win over the Spurs, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports. He posted 35 points (15-31 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 42 minutes.

The 28-year-old handled a larger workload Tuesday in the absence of LeBron James (ankle), and he suffered the injury when he knocked knees with another player late in the fourth quarter, though he only briefly left the contest and played through overtime. Davis should be considered questionable for Game 2 of the back-to-back set Wednesday in Oklahoma City, and it wouldn't be surprising for Los Angeles to play it safe with him due to the quick turnaround.

Davis produced 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and two assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 win over the Grizzlies.

Davis is averaging 25.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.3 assists through the first three games of the season. The 28-year-old star appears to be back on track after a down year during the 2020-21 campaign. If he can stay on the court, he will likely be one of the most productive big men in all fantasy formats.

Davis recorded 22 points (6-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 38 minutes in Friday's loss against Phoenix.

Davis was one of four Lakers players that scored in double digits, and the star big man has poured at least 20 points in each of his first two appearances of the season. The big issue with Davis is whether he can remain healthy for an entire season or not, but if he does, then he should be one of the most productive big men in the league across all formats.

Davis finished with 33 points (15-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 39 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Warriors.

Davis led the Lakers in shot attempts and was only one of two players that scored in double digits, with LeBron James being the other one, so it's clear he's going to play a pivotal role on offense even when he shares the court with James and Russell Westbrook. Perhaps most importantly, the star big man also paced the Lakers in minutes played, and considering he only appeared in 36 games last season, this is a great sign for what he can accomplish moving forward as long as he remains to stay healthy.

Davis finished Thursday's preseason game against the Kings with 14 points (5-18 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks.

The big man continues to struggle to find a rhythm offensively, as he once again settled for a number of tough looks in the mid-range on his way to a woefully inefficient night from the field. Still, Davis was able to pull down a team-high 12 rebounds while chipping in a pair of blocks. Coming off of a disappointing 2020-21 season, fantasy managers are hoping for a bounceback season from Davis, but it shouldn't be a surprise if he gets off to another sluggish start as the Lakers attempt to integrate Russell Westbrook, as well as an entirely new cast of role players.

Davis (rest) is available for Sunday's preseason game versus Phoenix.

Davis will be eligible to play after sitting out the Lakers' preseason game for rest purposes. Their "Big Three" (him, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook) are all available.

Davis will be rested for Friday's exhibition game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis recorded 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks with zero turnovers across 25 minutes in Wednesday's game against the Suns. He has suited up for the team's first to preseasons games, so no surprise to see them give him the night off Friday.

Davis recorded 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks with zero turnovers in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-105 loss to the Suns.

Davis put on a strong two-way performance in the Lakers' second preseason game with LeBron James and Russell Westbrook again getting the night off for rest. While Davis' numbers are encouraging, the team dynamic will be completely different once James and Westbrook are on the court.

Davis had six points (2-6 FG, 2-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in Sunday's preseason opener against the Nets.

With LeBron James and Russell Westbrook resting, Davis was on his own as the Lakers opened the exhibition season with a 123-97 loss. Davis saw just 11 minutes of action and was relatively quiet, hitting just two field goals and turning the ball over twice. The Lakers will likely keep a close eye on Davis' workload throughout the preseason.

Davis is expected to play only the first quarter of Sunday's preseason opener against the Nets, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook are all out due to rest, so it's not surprising that Davis will likely see 12 minutes or fewer. Plenty of minutes should be available for the Lakers' new-look bench.

Davis is expected to start at center for the Lakers this season, Bill Oram, Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic report.

As part of a far-ranging report on the Lakers' offseason, the story reveals that Davis has apparently embraced the possibility of spending more time at center -- something he's resisted in the past. With Russell Westbrook on board, it's hard to argue against starting Davis at the five, where he can serve as the primary rim-protector while also spacing the floor on the other end. The expected starting lineup of Davis, LeBron James Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington and Russell Westbrook would give the Lakers four floor-spacers around Westbrook, who still attacks the rim at an elite level but is one of the league's least-efficient three-point shooters. Ultimately, Davis will likely bounce back and forth between power forward and center, but the fact that he's finally willing to embrace the challenge has to be viewed as a positive for the Lakers.

Davis (groin) played only five minutes against Phoenix in a Game 6 playoff loss Thursday, finishing with no points, one rebound and one assist.

Davis bravely gave it a go despite being obviously hobbled by a groin injury, but it didn't take long to realize that the superstar forward wasn't going to be able to continue. The disappointing ending culminated a difficult campaign during which Davis missed extensive time due to injury and finished the regular season with his lowest scoring average (21.8 points per game) since his second year in the league. Davis scored 34 points in each of the Lakers' two playoff wins and remains perhaps the most central piece of the team's future plans.

Davis (groin) is questionable to return to Game 6 against Phoenix on Thursday, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis wasn't completely ruled out, but it be a bit of a surprise to see him take the floor again with the Lakers falling behind by double-digits quickly in the do-or-die situation. It could mark the end of the season for Davis, who struggled with injuries for a good chunk of the 2020-21 campaign. He tallied one rebound and one assist in five minutes of play.

Davis (groin) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Game 6 against Phoenix on Thursday, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis played just five minutes and didn't attempt a shot before having to leave the game due to his groin strain. He hasn't been ruled out of the rest of the game yet, but it would surprising to see him back on the floor as he was limping his limited appearance to start the contest. Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris could see increased minutes for the rest of the contest.

Davis (groin) will play in Game 6 against the Suns on Thursday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Davis will be back in the lineup as expected despite a strained groin which limited him in Game 4 and kept him out of Game 5. In four games so far in the series, Davis has averaged 21.8 points on 40.3 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game. His return will likely send Markieff Morris back to the bench.

Davis (groin) is expected to play in Game 6 against the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis will apparently return for Game 6 as long as he suffers no setbacks during pregame warmups. The 28-year-old missed Game 5 due to a strained groin while the Lakers lost by 30. Before leaving the Game 4 loss due to the groin injury, Davis had totaled just six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 19 minutes.

Davis (groin) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 against the Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

After an embarrassing blowout loss in Tuesday's Game 5, it's do-or-die for the Lakers, so the general thought is that Davis will return to the lineup. However, coach Frank Vogel didn't sound overly confident when asked about his big man's status Wednesday afternoon. "We'll see," Vogel said. "He's making progress, but we still don't know." Without Davis in the lineup Tuesday, the Lakers were blitzed early on and couldn't fight back, ultimately falling by 30 points in a game that was never close.

Davis (groin) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Suns, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis missed Game 5 in Phoenix, and the Lakers were blown out 115-85. Markieff Morris got the start in Davis' absence, but he finished with just four points in 10 minutes. More information on Davis' status should continue to emerge as gameday approaches.

Davis (groin) is out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Suns, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

There wasn't much optimism surrounding Davis' potential availability for Game 5, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. In his place, coach Frank Vogel will start Markieff Morris, who has played just 12 total minutes in the series. Kyle Kuzma is a strong candidate to also see an uptick in usage.

Davis (groin) is considered a game-time call for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Suns, Mike Scotto of USA Today reports.

The words came straight from the mouth of coach Frank Vogel, so it appears there's a chance that Davis could push through a strained left groin to take the court for Game 5. As of Monday, it was widely expected that Davis was trending toward sitting out Tuesday night, so if he ultimately does play, there's a good chance he'd be rather limited. Davis did not play in the second half of Sunday's Game 4 after putting up six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 19 first-half minutes.

Davis underwent an MRI and is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a strained left groin, and he'll officially be listed questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 at Phoenix, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

It was reported earlier in the day the 28-year-old is unlikely to play Tuesday, but coach Frank Vogel publicly expressed more optimism during Monday's presser. Davis didn't play during the second half of Game 4 on Sunday after suffering the strain shortly before halftime.

Davis (groin) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Suns, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis exited Sunday's Game 4 loss to the Suns with a left groin strain, and it appears as though he'll miss at least one more contest as a result. If Davis is held out, Markieff Morris, Marc Gasol and Kyle Kuzma could see increased run.

Davis is considered to be day-to-day with a left groin strain, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a force for the Lakers all series, as he posted 34 point double-doubles in Games 2 and 3, which ultimately allowed the Lakers to win those games. With Davis' status in question for Game 5, the Lakers could be in some trouble if the forward is unable to play. Expect Markieff Morris or Kyle Kuzma to start in Davis' place if he can't play Tuesday.

Davis will not return to Game 4 after straining his left groin, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis limped to the locker room near the end of the first half and was not on the floor to begin the second, and the Lakers have now ruled him out for the remainder of the contest. Prior to exiting, Davis posted an inefficient six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 19 minutes of action. At this point, it's unclear if Davis could miss additional time, but if he's out for Tuesday's Game 5, or beyond, his absence could swing the series in favor of Phoenix.

Davis didn't start the second half during Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns due to an undisclosed injury, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

The 28-year-old appeared to suffer an injury at the end of the first half, and he didn't come out with the team to begin the second half. Davis was questionable to play Sunday with a sprained knee, and it's unclear if he aggravated that injury or is dealing with a new issue.

Davis (knee) will play in Game 4 against the Suns on Sunday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis will be available as expected despite a left knee injury. After a poor Game 1 effort, the 28-year-old has scored 34 points in each of the last two wins in the series.

Davis (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns, said, "There's no chance that I don't play," Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Though Davis has a sprained knee, it appears extremely likely that he'll take the court for Game 4. So far in the series, he's averaged 27.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 blocks.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis hyperextended his knee during Game 3, and he may miss Game 4 as a result. If he's unable to play, look for Markieff Morris and Kyle Kuzma to see extra minutes.

Davis hyperextended his left knee during Thursday's Game 3 win against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis said he was able to finish the game by keeping his knee warm and riding the adrenaline. However, Davis will get the issue checked out Friday, so we shouldn't be surprised if he has an injury designation heading into Sunday's Game 4.

Davis had 34 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block in Thursday's Game 3 win over the Suns.

After a disastrous start to the series, Davis has now strung together two strong performances to give the Lakers a 2-1 advantage ahead of Sunday's Game 4. While Davis did not hand out an assist and committed five turnovers, he was aggressive as a scorer and worked his way to the line 14 times. Over the last two games, Davis is 30-of-35 at the free throw line.

Davis recorded 34 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 18-21 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and a steal across 40 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Suns.

Davis had a below-average performance -- for his standards -- in Game 1 but bounced back admirably here, as he finished just three assists shy of a triple-double while also making his presence felt on the defensive end of the court. The Lakers need him at his best to be successful, and this was clearly a step in the right direction after his 13-point outing in Game 1.

Davis (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

As expected, Davis will play through a right shoulder sprain. In Game 1, he posted 13 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 39 minutes.

Davis (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Suns.

Davis was also listed on the injury report of Game 1, so this comes as no surprise. The All-Star should be ready to shoulder a full workload as his team attempts to even the series.

Davis totaled 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocked shots over 29 minutes Sunday in a loss to the Suns in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.

The last time these two teams faced each other in the regular season, Davis went off for 42 points and 12 boards. His performance Sunday was a clunker by comparison, as the big man hit only five of his 16 field-goal attempts and never found a rhythm offensively. Davis did block three shots and avoided committing any turnovers, but his overall impact on the contest was minimal. He had an uneven regular season thanks largely to a groin injury that forced him to miss 30 straight games, so there's certainly a possibility of some lingering rust. Davis will look to ramp up his contributions in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Davis (shoulder) will play Sunday in Game 1 against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis and LeBron James (ankle) had both been listed as probable, so it's no surprise that both are playing. The 28-year-old went for 25 points and 12 boards during Wednesday's play-in victory over Golden State.

Davis is probable for Sunday's Game 1 at Phoenix with a sprained right shoulder, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

The 28-year-old was previously listed on the injury report with an adductor injury, but he's apparently dealing with a shoulder sprain after Wednesday's play-in victory over Golden State. Regardless, the injury isn't expected to affect Davis' availability for the start of the playoffs.

Davis recorded 25 points (10-24 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 42 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.

Davis led the Lakers in scoring Wednesday and has looked dominant on both ends of the court recently, scoring at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances and registering four double-doubles in that span. He's averaging 22.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in nine appearances this month.

Davis (adductor) announced that he will play Wednesday, sharing that he's "ready to be locked in tomorrow," Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis will play in Wednesday's play-in matchup against the eighth-seeded Warriors. The forward has been playing exceptionally well recently, averaging 28.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals over his past five games.

Davis totaled 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's 110-98 victory over New Orleans.

Davis entered the contest having averaged 31.5 points and 10 boards over his previous four games, but he had a muted performance by his standards Sunday. Despite the win, the Lakers finished the campaign in the seventh spot in the Western Conference, so they will face Golden State as part of the play-in tournament Wednesday. Davis finished an injury-plagued second season in Los Angeles with per-game averages of 21.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 blocks. He played in only 36 of the team's 72 contests.

Davis (thigh) is available to play Sunday against New Orleans.

Although nursing a left thigh injury, Davis will play in the regular season finale. Across 35 outings this season, Davis is averaging 22.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

Davis (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Davis is dealing with tightness in his left adductor, which has him uncertain for the last game of the regular season. He looked good in Saturday's win over Indiana, going for 28 points, 10 boards, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Davis delivered 28 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pacers.

Davis looked a bit rusty in his first games since returning from a lengthy absence, but he's been a bit more like himself over his last few games and has scored at least 20 points in four games in a row while reaching that tally in seven of his last nine appearances. Similar to LeBron James, Davis ' main goal right now is to get as healthier as possible come playoff time -- and his last few performances suggest he's clearly trending in the right direction.

Davis (groin) will play Saturday against the Pacers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

After sitting out one game, Davis will be back in the fold for the Lakers' second-to-last game of the regular season. LeBron James (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (COVID-19 protocols) are also back.

Davis (groin) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers.

The Lakers will likely play it as safe as possible with Davis so that he's healthy for the play-in and playoffs. If he sits out Saturday, more minutes would be available for Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris.

Davis (groin) didn't practice Friday but is probable for Saturday's game at Indiana, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

The 28-year-old sat out the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday after playing 43 minutes Tuesday, but his absence is expected to be limited to one game. Davis' availability for Sunday's season finale could depend on whether or not the Lakers' seeding in the Western Conference is finalized, as they currently line up for the play-in tournament while trailing the Trails Blazers by a half-game for the No. 6 seed.

Davis (groin) is out Wednesday against the Rockets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis played 43 minutes during Tuesday's overtime win over the Knicks, but he experienced groin tightness afterward, and he'll end up missing Wednesday's game. LeBron James (ankle) will also sit out again Wednesday. Alex Caruso (foot) is also questionable. This could ultimately lead to Kyle Kuzma (back) and Talen Horton-Tucker (calf) -- both probable -- controlling the offense.

Davis (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

Davis' groin tightened up during Tuesday's win over the Knicks, and the issue will put his status for Wednesday's game into jeopardy. Davis hasn't missed a game since he returned from calf and Achilles injuries April 22, but Markieff Morris and Kyle Kuzma (back) could see increased run if Davis is held out.

Davis said his groin tightened up during Tuesday's win over the Knicks, and his availability for Wednesday's game against the Rockets is to be determined, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis hasn't missed a game since returning from calf and Achilles injuries April 22, and he's played at least 39 minutes in three straight games. However, he's now dealing with a groin injury that leaves him tentatively questionable for Wednesday's game.

Davis (calf) will play and start Tuesday against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

As expected, Davis will continue playing through a strained right calf. Since returning from his extended absence, he's averaged 20.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes.

Davis (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis continues to make his way onto the injury report, but the star is expected to play through the issue, especially down the stretch. Expect a final update on Davis' status by the Lakers closer to tipoff.

Davis recorded 42 points (13-27 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocked shots in Sunday's 123-110 win over the Suns.

Davis was brilliant in what was potentially a first-round playoff preview. His stat line was easily his best since returning from injury, and his two-game average of 39 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots is evidence of a huge resurgence from the All-Star. It couldn't come at a better time for the Lakers, who are struggling to stay out of the play-in tourney.

Davis (calf) is starting Sunday's game against Phoenix.

Davis was probable with a right calf strain, so it's not very surprising to see him in the lineup. He should continue to see plenty of work with LeBron James (ankle) unavailable.

Davis (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is listed with a right calf strain, but barring any setbacks he should be available on Sunday. He's coming off his best statistical performance since returning to the lineup in late April, posting 36 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and one block across 39 minutes in Friday's loss to Portland. The Lakers will continue to rely heavily on Davis until LeBron James (ankle) is able to return.

Davis tallied 36 points (12-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-15 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot across 39 minutes in Friday's loss to Portland.

The struggling Lakers slipped to seventh place in the Western Conference with the loss despite Davis' valiant effort. The big man registered his highest point and rebound total since returning from an extended absence April 22 -- in fact, his 36 points accounted for his second-highest total overall this season. Davis could see copious playing time down the stretch as Los Angeles attempts to avoid participating in the postseason play-in tournament. That could help him boost mildly disappointing per-game season averages of 21.3 points, 7.9 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks.

Davis (back) is starting Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis left Thursday's game against the Clippers in the first quarter due to back spasms, but he was confident in his ability to start Friday. Davis should continue to handle a significant role for the Lakers with LeBron James (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable.

Davis (back) expects to start Friday at Portland, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

The 28-year-old played only nine minutes Thursday against the Clippers as he battled back spasms, but he doesn't believe the injury will prevent him from taking the court Friday. The Lakers can ill afford to be without Davis since LeBron James (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (COVID-19 protocols) are already ruled out as they attempt to secure their playoff positioning.

Davis won't return to Thursday's matchup with the Clippers due to back spasms, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis reportedly suffered back spasms sometime during the first half of Thursday's contest. This will be a mighty blow to the Lakers if Davis needs time off once again, as the forward recently returned from missing 30 straight games from Feb. 16 to April 19 due to a calf injury. The Lakers' next game is Friday against Portland, and Davis should presumably be a game-time call until more news regarding or confirming his status surfaces. The former Kentucky Wildcat posted four points in nine minutes before exiting Thursday.

Davis (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Davis is good to go, as expected after he was initially listed with a 'probable' designation. The forward hasn't been his usual self since coming back from a calf injury, but with LeBron James (ankle) out Thursday and Friday, the Lakers will be relying on him as much as ever. Davis is only averaging 17.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals since returning to the lineup.

Davis (calf) is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is expected to play Thursday after being ruled probable for his eighth straight game. The forward has struggled since returning from his calf injury, averaging only 17.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals. Expect the 28-year-old to have an important role for the Lakers as LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday.

Davis finished with 25 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 33 minutes in Monday's 93-89 win over the Nuggets.

LeBron James (ankle) took a seat on the back-to-back, leaving Davis to carry the load for the Lakers. He delivered in stellar fashion by making key plays on both ends of the floor. With 33 minutes on the court, it appears that his injury is largely behind him, but it wouldn't be surprising for the team to rest him over the next couple of weeks to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

Davis (calf) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Denver, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.

As expected, Davis, although bothered with a lingering right calf strain, will play and start his seventh straight matchup since returning. The forward is currently averaging 21.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 29 games played.

Davis (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Denver, Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation reports.

This will be the seventh straight game for which Davis is listed as probable, so the designation doesn't mean much. The big man has been mostly disappointing since returning from injury on April 22, and he's coming off of another poor offensive showing (12 points, 5-16 FG) in Sunday's 121-114 loss to the Raptors. The Lakers will be without LeBron James (ankle) on Monday, so expect Davis to be leaned on more heavily for playmaking in the half court.

Davis delivered 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a block across 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Raptors.

Davis needed 16 shots just to end up with 12 points and had a rough time offensively, but he supplied his lack of efficiency with solid contributions in other categories. The most important thing with Davis right now is that he has to stay healthy, but his numbers since returning to the court aren't exactly eye-popping -- 16.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting just 39.4 percent from the field.

Davis (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Davis was probable for Sunday's contest, but he'll be able to play through his calf issue once again. He's averaged 17.4 points and 6.2 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Davis (calf) is probable for Sunday's contest against the Raptors.

Davis continues to be placed on the injury report with a strained right calf, but he's played five games in a row. Over the past three games, he's averaged 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes.

Davis tallied 22 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and five blocked shots across 34 minutes in Friday's loss to the Kings.

Davis was on the court with returning superstar LeBron James for the first time since Feb. 14, but the duo couldn't get the Lakers over the hump against a stubborn Sacramento squad. Nonetheless, Davis showed that he is regaining his form after a long layoff, registering his first double-double since returning to action April 22 and tying a season high with five blocks. With Los Angeles only a game ahead of Portland for the seventh seed in the Western Conference, both Davis and James are likely to play plenty down the stretch.

Davis (calf) is available for Friday's game against Sacramento, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis was probable for Friday's contest as he continues to deal with a right calf strain, but he'll be able to play through the injury. He put up 26 points in 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Wizards.

Davis (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Kings, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.

Davis continues to be listed as probable, but he will likely play Friday. He went off for 26 points in Wednesday's loss to Washington, showing no apparent signs of lingering injury.

Davis tallied 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Wizards.

The 28-year-old scored 20-plus points for the first time since returning to the lineup following a 30-game absence due to a calf injury. Davis' minutes have been ramping up lately, as he's posted 16, 28, 31, and 31 minutes over his last four games, respectively. The ninth-year center will look to build on Wednesday's impressive all-around performance Friday at home against the Kings.

Davis (calf) will play and start in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is set to play in his fourth consecutive game after being sidelined for over two months due to a strained calf. His minutes have increased every game since returning to the lineup, and he should continue to get more comfortable with each game as he works his way back into superstar-form. In Monday's win over the Magic, he finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 31 minutes of action.

Davis (calf) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game at Washington.

The designation is likely precautionary, as Davis has played in three straight games following a 30-game absence due to a strained calf. After a pair of rust-filled outings against Dallas last week, Davis looked more like himself during Monday's win over Orlando, which he finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.

Davis went for 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 114-103 win over the Magic.

Davis was able to play without a minutes restriction for the first time since returning from a calf strain and put up his season averages in rebounds and assists. Davis will the focal point in the offense as long as LeBron James (ankle) is out. Up next for the Lakers is a trip to D.C. to take on the Wizards.

Davis will not face a minutes restriction during Monday's game against the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

While Davis has looked extremely rusty through his first two games back in the lineup, the good news is that he blew through his soft minutes restriction Saturday at Dallas, playing 28 minutes in the 108-93 defeat. His calf appears to be doing just fine, as coach Frank Vogel told the media Monday that the team will have "no hard number" in mind as far as Davis' workload going forward. "We're just going to be responsible with his minutes," Vogel said.

Davis is probable for Monday's game against the Magic due to a right calf strain.

Davis has been able to play through his calf injury in the last two games and appears likely to play once again Monday. Across the last two contests, Davis has averaged 10.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game.

Davis totaled 17 points (5-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes in a loss to Dallas on Saturday.

Davis saw his playing time increase after being limited to 17 minutes in his return from a calf injury Thursday, but the superstar forward still showed substantial rust. He has connected on only seven of 29 field-goal attempts since making his way back onto the court, and he has missed all seven of his tries from three-point range. Davis is too good to struggle like this much longer, but it remains to be seen how much more time he'll need before he is able to return to his usual level of efficiency and production.

Davis (calf) will play and have his restriction increased to 25 minutes during Saturday's contest against the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

The plan is for Davis to finish Saturday's game after he played in just the first half during his return Thursday. In his return, he posted four points, four rebounds, one steal and a block. Davis' increased workload means decreased opportunities for Markieff Morris.

Davis (calf) is probable for Saturday's contest against the Mavericks.

Davis was rusty in his first game back from a strained calf. He's still dealing with some discomfort but is expected to play Saturday. He played 17 minutes in his return, but he could see more action against the Mavericks.

Davis started and played 17 minutes for the Lakers on Thursday, scoring four points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and adding four rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot.

Davis showed obvious rust after missing 30 games with a calf injury, but the good news is that he emerged from the contest without experiencing any setbacks. The big man was said to be on a time limit of about 15 minutes entering the game, and coach Frank Vogel held true to that estimate by giving Davis 17 minutes -- all in the first half. Davis isn't likely to have many games going forward in which he makes only 20 percent of his field-goal attempts and misses all of his free throws, so look for much better days ahead as the All-Star gets back into a groove.

Davis (calf) will play and start in Thursday's game against Dallas, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis will be back Thursday as expected and take on his position in the starting lineup. The team will limit him to around 15 minutes as he gets back into game shape, so he's not a very intriguing DFS option. The return of the starting power forward will likely cut into the value of Markieff Morris.

Davis (calf) said he plans to return to the court for Thursday's game against Dallas, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Davis has been ramping up his activity in recent days, and he's finally reached the point where he feels comfortable working at full speed following a strained right calf that kept him out of 30 consecutive games. The Lakers will likely wait to see how Davis feels Thursday before officially removing him from the injury report, but at this point all signs point to the big man returning to the mix. Earlier in the week, coach Frank Vogel said Davis will be limited to around 15 minutes for at least his first two games back, so he's probably a stay-away in DFS contests in the short-term.

Coach Frank Vogel said Monday that Davis (calf) will ramp up his activity over the next few days and could return Thursday against Dallas, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis is nearing a return, and the with the team having two days off before its next game Thursday, he could be ready to debut. The team has previously said that the 28-year-old will will have a restriction of around 15 minutes per game when he returns, so he won't be too exciting of a fantasy proposition immediately if that is the case.

Davis (calf) is listed as out for Monday's game against Utah, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis was cleared for full-contact work over the weekend, but it remains unclear when he'll actually make his return to game action. After Monday, the Lakers are off Tuesday and Wednesday before playing in Dallas on Thursday and Saturday. There's a decent chance Davis could play at some point later in the week, but even if that's the case he'll likely face a minutes restriction, so he's probably best left on the bench in weekly lineup leagues.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Davis has been cleared for full-contact practice recently and appears to be trending toward a return after he's missed the past two months due to a right calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg. He'll remain out Saturday, and coach Frank Vogel has said that Davis is "unlikely" to return Monday. However, the Lakers' big man should be able to return to action in the near future.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Thursday that Davis (calf) has been cleared for full-contact practice, and the star big man's return to game action is considered imminent, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Sidelined for the past two months with a right calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg, Davis finally looks to be nearing a return to the court. While Vogel admitted Davis is "unlikely" to suit up in the Lakers' upcoming two-game set versus the Jazz on Saturday and Monday, Los Angeles' April 22 game in Dallas would seem to represent a realistic target for the 28-year-old's return to action. Even if that's the case, fantasy managers may want to keep him stashed in an injured reserve spot for that contest, as Vogel suggested that Davis would initially be restricted to 15 minutes in his first game back. The Lakers have gone 13-15 with Davis out of the lineup for the team's past 28 contests.

Davis (calf) could return by the weekend to play the Jazz, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Coach Frank Vogel said it's unlikely, but that Davis could return to play to the Jazz (games on Saturday and Monday). Vogel also said that once Davis returns, he'll be on a minutes restriction of about 15 minutes as they ramp him up. While it's encouraging that Davis could return soon, the minutes restriction when he returns will limit his fantasy value at first.

Davis (calf) may be able to return in 10 to 14 days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Davis is scheduled to be re-evaluated by the Lakers' doctors this week and could possibly return to the court within two weeks' time. However, considering Davis hasn't played since Feb. 14, the Lakers will likely err on the side of caution by easing him back into things once he's officially cleared to return. In the meantime, Markieff Morris and Andre Drummond should continue to start in the Lakers' frontcourt until Davis returns.

The Lakers list Davis (calf) as out for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Davis hasn't played since Feb. 14 due to his left calf strain, and with the team having yet to provide any indication that the big man is ramping up his activity in practice, he appears on track to miss at least another week of action. The Lakers' main goal is ensuring that Davis is close to full strength by the time the postseason arrives, so he'll continue to be eased back slowly from the major injury. Markieff Morris and Andre Drummond (toe) should continue to serve as Los Angeles' starters in the frontcourt while Davis is sidelined.

Davis (calf) remains without a timetable to return, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Davis will be re-evaluated Friday, but coach Frank Vogel said that the 28-year-old is "still a ways away" from returning. Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris should continue to see increased run in his absence.

Davis could be sidelined for three more weeks, and perhaps longer, as the Lakers exercise caution with the superstar big man, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Davis is officially set to be re-evaluated on Mar. 26, but Haynes notes that sources around the Lakers believe the big man will remain out even longer than anticipated as he nurses a strained right calf. The Lakers are reportedly prepared to take things slowly with Davis, even if it means sliding down the standings in the Western Conference. Davis last played on Feb. 14 in Denver, and the Lakers are just 4-6 in his absence thus far.

The Lakers announced Friday that Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Davis was evaluated Friday and has been cleared to progress in the next stage in his recovery process, but he'll be sidelined for at least two more weeks due to his right calf strain. Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris should continue to see increased run while Davis is unavailable.

Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated Friday night and will not play against the Pacers, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Davis was originally expected to be sidelined until at least mid-March, and the team said that an update on his status will be provided Friday. The next game after Friday for the Lakers comes on Monday against Golden State. If the 28-year-old isn't quite ready for that one, Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris should continue to see increased workloads.

Coach Frank Vogel said Thursday that Davis (calf/Achilles) is facing a four-week recovery timetable, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers will be without Davis through at least mid-March due to his right calf strain and an aggravation of right Achilles tendinosis. The team has made clear that a cautious approach will be taken as regards the 27-year-old's recovery, so it's possible that the big man could still be sidelined when the team opens its second-half schedule. In the meantime, Kyle Kuzma stands to continue seeing time in the starting five.

Head coach Frank Vogel confirmed Tuesday that he expects Davis (calf/Achilles) to remain sidelined for the remainder of the first half, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports. "It's unlikely we bring him back before the [All-Star] break, but we'll see," Vogel said of Davis.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN previously reported Monday that Davis would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks after he was diagnosed with a calf strain and an aggravation of right Achilles tendinosis that had previously sidelined the big man for two games last week. That timeline always made it likely that Davis wouldn't play before the break, so Vogel's comments merely offer confirmation. Perhaps more notably, Vogel indicated Tuesday that the Lakers intend to be cautious with bringing Davis back, so there's a good possibility that the 27-year-old remains sidelined when the Lakers open up their second-half schedule in mid-March.

Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated in two-to-three weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

As anticipated, Davis is set to miss at least the next few weeks after he tweaked his right calf/Achilles midway through Sunday night's loss to Denver. Davis had previously missed a pair of games earlier in the week, but he made his return to action Friday night against Memphis. Understandably, the Lakers are expected to be cautious with the superstar big man, and Wojnarowski adds that the team could wait until after the All-Star break (Mar. 5-10) to ease him back into game action. With that in mind, Montrezl Harrell, Markieff Morris, Kyle Kuzma and Marc Gasol could each gain some fantasy appeal over the next several weeks.

Davis reaggravated his right Achilles tendonosis during Sunday's game against Denver, and he'll undergo an MRI on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Playing in his second game after missing a pair of contests last week, Davis held up for nearly the entire first half, but late in the second quarter he appeared to bump legs with Nikola Jokic and came up limping. Davis remained in the game to shoot two free throws, but he was then removed and immediately walked gingerly to the locker room. Monday's MRI should provide more information, but at this stage it's likely Davis ends up missing multiple games as the Lakers enter a four-game week.

Davis (Achilles) won't return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets and will undergo an MRI on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Davis re-aggravated his right Achilles tendonosis late in the first half of Sunday's contest and is experiencing some swelling. As a result, he'll be held out for the second half and will get an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the issue. Kyle Kuzma started the second half and should continue to see increased run in his absence. Davis posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes prior to his departure. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Minnesota.

Davis went to the locker room late in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Nuggets with an apparent right leg injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis bumped legs with Nikola Jokic in the second quarter Sunday, and he was limping immediately afterward. After hitting a pair of free throws, he slowly walked to the locker room. Davis has been dealing with right Achilles tendonosis recently, and it's not yet clear whether his current injury is related to the issue. Whether he's able to return during the second half of Sunday's game remains to be seen.

Davis (Achilles) will start Sunday night's game against Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This will be Davis' second game back after he missed a pair of contests due to tendonosis in his Achilles. While Davis went for 35 points and nine boards in his return against Memphis on Friday, he admitted that he was still dealing with some soreness in the area. Nonetheless, after entering the day questionable, Davis has been cleared to play and start Sunday night.

Davis (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of Lakers Daily reports.

Following a two-game absence due to right Achilles tendonosis, Davis returned Friday and delivered 35 points, nine rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during a win over the Grizzlies. However, he's still feeling some soreness and may not play Sunday. More information may arrive closer to tipoff.

Davis delivered 35 points (16-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.

Davis returned from a two-game absence and carried the Lakers offensively with his fourth 30-point performance of the season -- in fact, this was his second-best scoring output of the campaign. Davis also ended just one rebound shy of collecting his ninth double-double of the season, and he should remain an elite fantasy asset on both ends of the court as long as he remains healthy.

Davis (Achilles) will play in Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

As expected, Davis is returning from a two-game absence. Look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks. Kyle Kuzma will presumably return back to a reserve role as a result.

Davis (Achilles) is expected to play Friday against Memphis, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Coach Frank Vogel said that Davis will test his injury out during shootaround prior to Friday's game, but he's expected to return after missing the last two games due to right Achilles tendonosis. If he's indeed active, it's not yet clear whether he'd have any restrictions against the Grizzlies.

Davis (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis took part in limited portions of Thursday's practice and is officially considered questionable for Friday after missing the last two contests with right Achilles tendonosis. Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma could continue to see increased workloads if Davis has to miss any more time.

Davis (Achilles) participated in non-contact work during practice Thursday and is uncertain for Friday's game against Memphis, Ryan Ward of Lakers Daily reports.

Davis has missed the last two games due to right Achilles tendonosis, but he participated in practice on a limited basis Thursday. Coach Frank Vogel said that he wants to see how Davis feels Friday before determining his status for the team's matchup against the Grizzlies.

Davis (Achilles) is unavailable Wednesday against the Thunder, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

The 27-year-old will be sidelined for the second consecutive game due to right Achilles tendonosis. Markieff Morris could make his second straight start in Davis' absence for the Lakers, though Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell may also have increased roles.

Davis (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.

Davis sat out Monday's matchup with the Thunder due to tendinitis in his right Achilles, but he could be back on the court for Wednesday's rematch. An MRI over the weekend came back clean, but the Lakers are still likely to remain cautious with their star big man.

Davis (Achilles) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Thunder, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

Late Sunday night, it was reported that Davis would likely be held out Monday, and the Lakers have now confirmed that the big man will miss his fourth game of the season. Davis' absence looks to be somewhat precautionary, as an MRI on his Achilles over the weekend came back clean. Nonetheless, his status will be something to monitor as the week goes on. The Lakers are off Tuesday before a rematch with the Thunder on Wednesday night.

Davis (leg) is expected to sit out Monday's game against the Thunder, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

The Lakers listed Davis as questionable on the official injury report, but it sounds like he's trending more toward doubtful as he battles tightness in his right leg. While the team is still searching for the source of the discomfort, the good news is that Davis underwent an MRI on his Achilles, which came back clean. Assuming he sits Monday, Kyle Kuzma would likely be first in line to fill Davis' spot in the starting lineup.

Davis (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Davis had been dealing with a left knee issue, but he's now questionable for Monday's game due to right Achilles tendonosis. If he's unable to play, Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris could play increased roles against Oklahoma City.

Davis posted 30 points (13-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots in Saturday's double-overtime win over the Pistons.

The boards weren't there for Davis on a night when he played a season-high 45 minutes, but the big man rebounded from a 13-point effort his last time out to record his highest scoring total since Jan. 23. Davis also continues to pile up defensive stats -- he is averaging 1.7 steals and 2.1 blocks over his past 10 games.

Davis (knee) will play Saturday against the Pistons, Harrison Faigen reports.

Despite being downgraded to questionable earlier in the day, Davis will take the floor Saturday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 21.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 blocks and 2.8 steals in 35.2 minutes.

Davis (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Davis was originally deemed probable due to a bruised left knee, but he's since been downgraded to questionable. If the star big man ends up sitting out, we should expect Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris and Talen Horton-Tucker to see more action.

Davis (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Davis is dealing with a left knee contusion, but he appears likely to play once again Saturday. He nearly posted a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds in Thursday's win over the Jazz.

Davis collected 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocked shots Thursday in a win over Denver.

Davis was quiet on the offensive end in the victory, tying season-low marks in both points (13) and field-goal attempts (eight). However, he made a significant impact on defense, collecting three steals and two blocks while helping to hold Nikola Jokic to a season-low 13 points. Fantasy managers who roster Davis certainly expect more in terms of scoring, but his versatility makes him one of the elite big men in the game and ensures consistent fantasy production even when he's not dominating in the points column.

Davis (quad) will start in Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

As expected, Davis will be in the starting lineup despite a right quadriceps bruise. The 27-year-old has missed just three games despite being listed on the injury report all season long.

Davis (quadriceps) is probable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis continues to nurse a right quadriceps bruise, but the injury shouldn't affect his availability for Thursday's matchup. The 27-year-old missed one contest due to the quad bruise last week and is averaging 26.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in the last two games.

Davis scored 25 points (10-14 FG, 0-2 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks across 36 minutes in Monday's win over the Hawks.

Davis led the team in both shots from the field and scoring while recording at least 25 points in consecutive games for the first time this season. He was less aggressive on the glass, ending his three-game stretch with a minimum of eight rebounds. Davis did balance that out strong defensive contributions, and his steal and block numbers continue to trend back up towards his career norms.

Davis (quad) has been cleared to play Monday against Atlanta, Mike Trudell of Spectrum Sportsnet reports.

Davis missed a game last week with a bruised quad, but he played through the ailment in Saturday's win over Boston, finishing with 27 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one made three in 36 minutes. After a day off Sunday, Davis will be in the starting lineup and is not expected to face any limitations.

Davis (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis played through his injury Saturday and posted a strong double-double against Boston. He'll be questionable once again heading into Monday's contest. If he's unable to play, Kyle Kuzma would likely start for the Lakers.

Davis recorded 27 points (11-25 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals Saturday in a 96-95 win at Boston.

Davis completed the double-double in the first half by recording 18 points and 10 rebounds across 16 minutes. He logged most of his overall stat line by the third quarter, which ended with the Celtics up by seven. LeBron James led the Lakers during the fourth, but Davis still finished Saturday's game with team highs in both points and rebounds.

Davis (quad) will play Saturday against the Celtics, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

After a one-game absence due to a bruised right quad, Davis will take the floor Saturday, which should send Kyle Kuzma back to the bench. Across his past five appearances, Davis is averaging 22.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.6 steals in 34.8 minutes.

Davis (quad) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Davis sat out Thursday's loss to the Pistons due to a bruised right quad, and it's not clear if he'll play Saturday. If he's out again, Kyle Kuzma would presumably remain in the starting five.

Davis (quad) will not play in Thursday's game against Detroit, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been listed as questionable for most of the Lakers' games this season, so initially his bruised quad wasn't anything of concern. However, on the second night of a back-to-back, the Lakers will play it safe and hold Davis out of action as they take on the lowly Pistons. Davis finished with 23 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3PT), eight boards and two blocks in Wednesday night's loss to the 76ers. Dating back to Jan. 10, Davis has hit just three of his 16 attempts from beyond the arc.

Davis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised right knee.

Davis has recently been dealing with an ankle injury, and a knee bruise has now cropped up following Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. If he misses Thursday's game, Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris would be in line for extra run.

Davis recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks Wednesday in a 107-106 loss against the Sixers.

The 23 points from Davis were a refreshing scoring tally by him considering his recent disappointments. He has surpassed 20 points just twice across the Lakers' past eight games, his highest being a 37-point performance against an easier Bulls team. Davis will hope to supply more of these performances as the Lakers end January and head into February.

Davis (ankle) is available and starting Wednesday against the Sixers, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Davis was initially considered questionable with an ankle bruise before being upgrade to probable, so it's no surprise he's suiting up Wednesday. The 27-year-old is averaging 21.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 steals in 32 minutes over the past eight games.

Davis totaled 17 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks in a 115-108 win over Cleveland on Monday.

Davis was largely overshadowed by LeBron James' 46-point effort in the win, but the former still emerged with his seventh double-double of the campaign. Though his shot wasn't falling Monday, Davis posted a fantasy-friendly stat line thanks to excellent defensive stats (three steals, three blocks). The performance emphasizes why the big man is such a valuable asset in both fantasy and real life --- even when he struggles in one area, Davis' talent is so versatile that he rarely finishes a game without making a tangible impact.

Davis (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

No surprise here, as Davis' inclusion on the injury report is typically a formality. He's missed only two games on the season and has played without limitation in each of the Lakers' last seven games. Davis is coming off of a season-high 37 points in Saturday's win over the Bulls.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Davis has been dealing with a right ankle issue recently, but he's been able to play through the issue in each of the past seven games. The 27-year-old dropped a season-high 37 points in Saturday's win over the Bulls.

Davis scored 37 points (14-21 FG, 2-3 3PT, 7-9 FT) to go along with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 28 minutes in Saturday's win over the Bulls.

Davis failed to play 30 minutes for the first time in his last four games, as the Lakers held a comfortable lead for nearly the entire contest. Even so, he scored efficiently to record a season-high 37 points, connecting from all areas over the floor. He also continued his strong defensive production and is now averaging 1.3 steals and 1.9 blocks per game.

Davis (ankle) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Bulls, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis will play through a sprained right ankle. Over the past five games, he's averaging 17.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.4 minutes.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Matthew Moreno of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis will appear on the Lakers' injury report once again, but he hasn't appeared to have any restrictions in recent contests. He nearly posted a double-double with 18 points and nine rebounds over 38 minutes in Thursday's win over Milwaukee.

Davis totaled 18 points (8-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's 113-106 win over the Bucks.

Davis has struggled shooting over his last three games, going a combined 19-for-50, 38 percent, while missing all four of his three-point attempts. While he's struggled shooting and racking up points, Davis has been busy in other areas of the stat sheet. Over his last three outings, Davis is averaging 10.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.6 steals per game.

Davis (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Harrison Faigen of SB Nation reports.

The Lakers continue to list Davis on the injury report with a sprained ankle, but there's been no indication that his status was ever truly in jeopardy. Davis enters Thursday's game coming off of a 17-point, 17-rebound, seven-assist, three-block, two-steal performance against Golden State on Monday.

Davis (ankle) will start Thursday's game against the Bucks, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen Rock & Roll reports.

Davis was initially listed as "probable" due to his sprained ankle, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to see him taking the court Thursday. LeBron James (ankle) is also good to go.

Davis (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.

A sprained ankle once again lands Davis on the injury report, but there's no reason to believe his status for Thursday's showdown is in any real jeopardy.

Davis (back) tallied 17 points (6-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 17 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and three blocks in a loss to the Warriors on Monday.

It wasn't Davis' finest night from a shooting or scoring perspective, but the veteran forward made a major impact in other areas, including pulling down a season-high 17 boards and dishing a season-best seven dimes. Davis also swatted exactly three shots for the sixth time in the last eight games to up his season average to 1.9 -- fourth best in the NBA. Factor in his 21.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per contest and Davis again ranks as one of the league's most productive big men.

Davis (back) will play and start in Monday's game against Golden State, Ryan Ward of LakersDaily.com reports.

Davis has been dealing with lower-back tightness over the few days, but once again, the forward will see the court for a fifth straight matchup. Over 12 starts with the Lakers this year, Davis is averaging 21.7 points and 8.3 rebounds.

Davis (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Davis continues to deal with lower-back tightness, but he was able to suit up in Friday's matchup against New Orleans. It appears as though he's likely to play Monday after posting 17 points, six rebounds and five assists in Friday's win.

Davis (back) tallied 17 points (5-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in Friday's win over the Pelicans.

Davis has been dealing with lower-back tightness, but the issue did not prevent him from suiting up Friday. Though the superstar was uncharacteristically inefficient from both the field and the charity stripe, he demonstrated why he is one of the most versatile players in the league by chipping in strong numbers across multiple offensive and defensive categories. Davis is averaging his fewest minutes (31.9) since his rookie campaign, resulting in per-game averages (21.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 blocks ) that are slightly down in comparison to last season.

Davis (back) will play Friday against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Coach Frank Vogel added that Davis has nagging injuries that the team has to report, but it's nothing serious. Over his past five appearances, he's averaging 22.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.2 assists in 30.4 minutes.

Davis (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Matthew Moreno of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has regularly been listed on the injury report this season but has only had to miss two games so far. This time, the 27-year-old is dealing with lower back tightness which has his status for Friday's game uncertain. If Davis is forced to miss any time, Kyle Kuzma would likely be the replacement starter.

Davis registered 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 128-99 win over the Thunder.

The Lakers led by 22 points at the end of the third quarter, and that allowed Davis to receive some much-needed rest after he was listed as questionable due to a minor toe injury. Davis still made his presence felt in limited minutes and, while he has gone two straight games without reaching the 20-point mark, he remains an integral part of the Lakers' offense while also posting five double-doubles in 11 games to date.

Davis will be available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Despite jamming his toe during Tuesday's contest against Houston, Davis is apparently feeling good enough to go and will play on Wednesday. So far this season, Davis is averaging 22.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston due to a toe injury, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis apparently jammed his toe sometime during Tuesday's win over Houston. Although X-rays came back negative, Davis is still experiencing some discomfort. News confirming the former Kentucky Wildcat's status for Wednesday's contest should surface sometime before warmups.

Davis (hip) will start Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old was considered questionable and will continue to play through the hip injury. Davis put up 27 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and one assist Sunday against Houston in his return from a one-game absence.

Davis (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Rockets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis has been a regular on the injury report all season, so this news is no surprise. He did ultimately have to sit out Friday's win over the Bulls, but that is his only absence to date. He returned for Sunday's victory over the Rockets and produced 27 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and one assist. His status Tuesday will likely depend on how he is feeling closer to tip-off.

Davis (hip) recorded 27 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and one assist in a 120-102 win Sunday at Houston.

Davis missed the Lakers' previous game due to a right hip strain. He wasted little time in his return, which was highlighted with 21 first-half points that helped put Houston out of reach early. Davis seemed unaffected by said hip injury and will remain the Lakers' secondary option (behind LeBron James) until further notice.

Davis (hip) will start Sunday's game against the Rockets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis missed Friday's win over the Bulls, but coach Frank Vogel confirmed that he'll be back in the starting lineup Sunday, along with teammate Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle). Barring any setbacks, Davis should play a prominent role for the Lakers.

Davis (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

After missing Friday's win over the Bulls, Davis could make his return Sunday. However, if he sits out again, Wesley Matthews, Montrezl Harrell and Markieff Morris could see increased run again.

Davis (hip) will not play in Friday's game against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis was considered questionable heading into the contest and the Lakers have ultimately opted to err on the side of caution. His absence figures to create extra playing time for the likes of Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol and even Markieff Morris. The All Star big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Rockets.

Davis (adductor strain) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.

Davis was questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs and suited up for that contest, producing 23 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal. If he sits out Friday, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris and Talen Horton-Tucker could see more action.

Davis had 23 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in Thursday's loss against the Spurs.

Davis is having a terrific start to the calendar year, recording three double-doubles through four games. He's served well on both ends by averaging 25.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.3 steals in that span of matchups. Davis' shooting efficiency has been more mixed, with his 42.9 three-point and 61.1 free-throw percentages above and below average respectively.

Davis (adductor strain) will play Thursday versus the Spurs, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis suffered a right adductor strain during Tuesday's win over Memphis, and he'll tough out the injury as the Lakers host the Spurs on Thursday night. Los Angeles will also have Lebron James (ankle) available against San Antonio.

Davis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs with a right adductor strain, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 27-year-old apparently picked up the injury during Tuesday's matchup with Memphis, when he had 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks. Montrezl Harrell and Markieff Morris figure to have increased roles should Davis be unable to play Thursday.

Davis scored 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks across 34 minutes in a 94-92 win over Memphis on Tuesday.

The forward looked to force the issue from deep with the most attempts from behind the arc of his career, despite only scoring inside of 12 feet last game against Memphis. While Davis is dominant on offense inside the pant, the 27-year-old is shooting his best percentage from three of his career at 41.2 percent. On defense, Davis locked in and registered three steals and three blocks for the second straight game.

Davis scored 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go with nine rebounds, three steals, three blocks and one assist across 32 minutes in a 108-94 win over Memphis on Sunday.

Davis shot just 1-for-8 from the field in the first half, finally adding to his scoring total in the second with each of his makes coming within 10 feet of the basket. The 27-year-old made his impact on defense, registering his season high for both steals and blocks, more than doubling his total number of blocks on the year. Davis has recorded all seven of his three-point makes in just two games this season, attributing to a note-worthy shooting percentage from deep, but doesn't look to be a consistent part of the power forward's game early this season.

Davis recorded 32 points (13-26 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals during a 109-103 win at San Antonio on Friday.

Davis was more assertive in Friday's game than across his previous four. He scored over six points during each quarter and grabbed seven offensive rebounds en route to the double-double. It will be ideal if Davis can average double figures in both categories, something he did not do last season.

Davis scored 20 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and contributed eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.

Davis missed both of his attempts from deep but was otherwise efficient from the floor, making nine of his 15 field-goal tries. After failing to block a single shot in his first three games of the season, Davis collected two swats Wednesday, perhaps easing some concerns among fantasy managers who used a high first-round pick to roster him. Through four games, Davis is averaging 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting a healthy 55 percent from the field.

Davis scored 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, five assists, a steal and three turnovers in 38 minutes of Monday's 115-107 loss to Portland.

Davis posted an off night shooting the rock, but an off night for the star still resulted in a double-double. Davis posted a team-high 10 rebounds as he showed his value even when not posting gaudy scoring numbers.

Davis (calf) is slated to play in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was ruled out ahead of Sunday's blowout win over the Timberwolves with a bruised right calf, but his absence was likely cautionary more than anything else as the Lakers kicked off their first back-to-back set of the season. Unless head coach Frank Vogel says otherwise, Davis shouldn't face any restrictions in his return to the court, and he could see a spike in usage too in the event LeBron James (questionable, ankle) is held out Monday.

Davis (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis won't play in the first half of a back-to-back as he is hampered by a calf injury which he aggravated during a 28-point outing against the Mavericks on Friday. The 27-year-old's injury likely isn't anything too serious, but the team figures to be cautious all season with him given the abbreviated offseason. In his absence, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris, Montrezl Harrell and Marc Gasol are all likely looking at expanded roles.

Davis is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Timberwolves due to a bruised right calf.

Davis has cropped up on the injury report after a great performance against the Mavericks where he posted 28 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 30 minutes. If he ends up sitting out Sunday's game, more minutes would be available for Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris.

Davis totaled 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 30 minutes of Friday's 138-115 win over Dallas.

Davis took an elbow to the face early on but was able to stay in the game. The Kentucky product led all scorers in the game and also registered his first three-pointers and assists of the season. The lower leg issue that necessitated his appearance on the injury report did not seem to hinder him, and he should be good to go Sunday against Minnesota.

Davis (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against Dallas, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.

Davis was on the injury report up until close to game-time, but his status was never in much jeopardy. In the opener against the Clippers on Tuesday, Davis posted a modest line of 18 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

Davis is dealing with a right calf contusion but is considered probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

It's not entirely clear how or when the calf issue arose for the power forward, but he appears to be well on track to play Friday against Dallas. Davis tallied 18 points and seven rebounds while logging 31 minutes in Tuesday's season opener against the Clippers.

Davis totaled 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 116-109 loss to the Clippers.

It was definitely an off-night by Davis' standards, as the team appeared to suffer from a championship hangover after receiving their rings in a pre-game ceremony. Although it's a rarity, we've seen nights like this from AD, especially in the Orlando bubble, where the Lakers struggled before turning things on in the playoffs. Still, his output shouldn't be much of a concern, and he's a reliable start in all formats.

Davis notched 35 points (11-16 FG, 6-7 3pt, 7-10 FT) along with six rebounds, three assists, three blocked shots and two steals over 30 minutes in Friday's preseason victory over Phoenix.

The Brow played only three quarters but was pivotal in leading the Lakers back from a large early deficit, draining six of his seven three-point attempts en route to a game-high 35 points. Davis sat out Los Angeles' first two preseason contests and played only 17.5 minutes in his first appearance, but he showed Friday that he's primed and ready for a run at a second straight NBA championship. The 27-year-old may have his workload managed a bit due to the shortened offseason, but he remains an elite frontcourt option capable of stuffing the stat sheet on a consistent basis.

Davis had 10 points, (3-4 FG, 4-6 FT) four rebounds, a block and a steal during Wednesday's preseason win against Phoenix.

The big man played in most of the first half before sitting out in the second. Davis will play near the same amount of minutes during Friday's rematch at Phoenix, the Lakers' last preseason game before the Dec. 22 season opener versus the Clippers.

Davis (rest) will play in the first half for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis will make his preseason debut for Los Angeles tomorrow after sitting out the first two games for rest. With the limited first half playing time, the 27-year-old will get a slow ramp up to regular season action after the shortest offseason in NBA history.

Davis will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Clippers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Both Davis and LeBron James will get the night off for the second time in three days after both sat out Friday's exhibition opener. It's unclear how much, if at all, we'll see the Lakers' two stars during the preseason after the Lakers played into mid-October in the NBA bubble.

Davis (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Clippers, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Coming off the shortest offseason in NBA history, Davis and LeBron James won't play in the preseason opener after winning the NBA Finals just two months ago. We shouldn't be surprised if Davis sits out any of the three remaining preseason contests.

Davis is likely to sit out Friday's preseason opener against the Clippers, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Coming off the shortest offseason in NBA history, Davis and LeBron James are unlikely to participate in the preseason opener after winning the NBA Finals just two months ago. We shouldn't be surprised if he sits out any or all of the four preseason contests.

Davis' agent, Rich Paul, said Thursday that the big man is in the process of finalizing a five-year, $190 million contract with the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Though Davis declined his $28.7 million player option for 2020-21 in mid-November, the All-Star big man was never considered likely to leave Los Angeles after claiming his first NBA title during his inaugural season with the Lakers. According to the report, Davis' new contract will include an early-termination option prior to the fifth year of the deal in 2024-25, which would allow the 27-year-old to once again explore free agency. After the Lakers extended LeBron James' contract two years earlier this week, the team will now have both of its superstars on the books through at least the 2023-24 season.

Davis will decline his $28.7 million player option for the 2020-21 season, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

While Davis will officially become a free agent before the end of the week, it's widely expected that he'll re-up with the Lakers on a new contract after helping lead the team to a championship in Orlando. At this point, the question is for how many years will Davis be willing to commit to Los Angeles? He'll almost certainly be offered a multi-year, max contract, but it's possible Davis could opt for a shorter deal to preserve future flexibility.

Davis plans to opt out of his $28.7 million player option for next season and re-sign with the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This has been the expectation all along, but it now remains to be seen how long of a deal Davis will be willing to ink with the Lakers. Among his options are a two-year, one-plus-one deal that would give him a player option for the second season. Alternatively, Davis could sign a longer-term deal to lock in more money, but he would be sacrificing some future flexibility. Either way, keeping Davis is obviously a major victory for the Lakers, who gave up a king's ransom to bring him to Los Angeles last summer.

Davis registered 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-93 win over the Heat in Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals.

Davis dealt with numerous ailments throughout the team's playoff run, but that didn't seem to affect his play and was nearly unstoppable during the Finals, as he scored 19 or more points in all but one of his last 10 playoff contests, posting three double-doubles during that stretch. Davis was LeBron James' perfect partner during the Finals run and made quite an impact on both ends of the court, averaging 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three-point range during the playoffs.

Davis (heel) will play in Sunday's Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Heat, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Davis injured his right heel late in the first half of Game 5, and he was noticeably hampered by the ailment late in the game. Coach Frank Vogel acknowledged that Davis will not be at 100 percent, but the big man will play through the discomfort Sunday night as the Lakers look to close out the series. Davis finished Game 5 with 28 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks.

Davis, who aggravated a right heel contusion during Friday's Game 5, said he'll "be fine" for Sunday's Game 6 against the Heat, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Davis was clearly in pain after suffering the injury and spent some time on the bench recovering. However, he eventually came back into the game and played through it, finishing with 28 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks in 42 minutes. It seems like he'll be playing through pain again Sunday, which could limit his performance. However, with Lakers now only up 3-2, Davis will still likely play 40-plus minutes as the Lakers look to avoid a Game 7.

Davis registered 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, four blocks and a steal in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 102-96 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the 2020 NBA Finals.

Davis had a tough night in Game 3 scoring just 15 points -- his lowest scoring output in the current postseason run -- but he bounced back in Game 4, making an impact on both ends of the court and drilling a key three-pointer that iced the game for good in the final minutes of the game. Davis only has one double-double in his last eight playoff games but has focused more on his scoring of late, averaging 27.8 points per game while shooting 56.9 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from three-point range during that eight-game span.

Davis had 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in Sunday's Game 3 loss to Miami.

Coming off of dominant performances in Games 1 and 2, Davis had perhaps his worst game of the entire postseason Sunday. Dealing with double-teams for most of the night, Davis never figured out the Heat's zone defense, resulting in five turnovers and an overall apathetic offensive performance. Davis had just one rebound at the half, and for the second straight game, he struggled to get to the foul line. In 33 minutes, Davis finished as a team-worst minus-26.

Davis recorded 32 points (15-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, an assist and a steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 124-114 win over the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Davis topped the 30-point mark for the fifth time in his last seven games, but he only missed five shots all night and looked absolutely dominant on the paint against a Heat defense that missed Bam Adebayo (neck) a great deal. Davis has settled himself as the Lakers' top scoring threat in the current playoffs, scoring 29.3 points per game on 57.9 shooting from the field and 39.1 percent from three-point range across 17 postseason contests.

Davis finished with 34 points (11-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-98 victory over the Heat.

Davis had his way with the Heat on Wednesday, pouring in a game-high 34 points with relative ease. After a tight first quarter, the Lakers took over and never looked back, taking a 1-0 series lead. Bam Adebayo (shoulder) left the game prematurely and was unable to return. That left the Heat with very little in the way of internal defensive stoppers, allowing Davis free reign inside the paint. Game 2 will be on Friday and the Lakers will be looking to ride this momentum as they chase another NBA title.

Davis notched 27 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 Game 5 win over the Nuggets.

Davis scored 20 or more points in every game of the Western Conference Finals against the Nuggets, and he has done that in all but two of the team's postseason contests to date. Davis is averaging 28.8 points per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three-point range ahead of the NBA Finals, and his contributions will be vital for the Lakers to have a shot at winning the Larry O'Brien trophy.

Davis (ankle) will play during Saturday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

As expected, despite spraining his left ankle toward the end of Game 4, Davis will suit up and play in Game 5 with the Lakers up 3-1. In the series, the All-NBA First-Team selection is averaging 32.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 39.0 minutes.

Davis (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, but coach Frank Vogel expects him to play, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Coach Vogel expressed seemingly no concern about Davis' availability, so it would be surprising if the star big man sat out despite being listed as questionable. He might test things out pregame before a final determination is made.

Davis (ankle) will play in Saturday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis injured his ankle in Game 4, but the issue won't prevent him from playing in a potential series close-out game Saturday with the Lakers up 3-1. In the series, the All-NBA First-Team selection is averaging 32.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 39.0 minutes.

Davis played through an ankle injury during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Nuggets and will undergo treatment overnight, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Davis had 34 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 41 minutes Thursday. Before rolling his ankle during the fourth quarter, after which point he played with a limp, the Nuggets defense didn't have an answer for Davis. That he was able to remain on the court after injuring his ankle is reason for optimism about his chances of playing again on Saturday, and the Lakers should provide an official update on his health Friday. Per Trudell, Davis said after Thursday's game that he rolled his ankle "pretty bad, but not too bad" and will "be fine."

Davis had 27 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 Game 3 loss to Denver.

Davis shot the ball well in general on Tuesday, but failed to hit a single three-pointer and added very little else outside of his 27 points. Both he and LeBron James did their thing on the offensive end of the floor; however, the support from elsewhere was certainly lacking. Both teams will get a day off before lining up once again on Thursday in what could be the most important game of the series thus far.

Davis had 31 points (11-23 FG, 2-4 3PT, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in Sunday's Game 2 win over the Nuggets.

On a night when Davis did much of his damage outside of the paint, it was fitting that he knocked down the game-winning three off an inbounds play with 2.1 seconds remaining. The final basket gave Davis his second consecutive 30-plus-point effort to begin the series after he posted 37 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists in Game 1.

Davis ended with 37 points (12-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 126-114 victory over the Nuggets.

Davis was phenomenal for the Lakers as they built a sizeable early lead, eventually taking care of business with relative ease. He led all scorers with 37 points and was clearly a difference-maker despite the fact he failed to record a defensive stat. He typically thrives against the Nuggets and given what we saw in Game 1, he should continue to put up big numbers as the Lakers strive for an NBA Championship.

Davis posted 13 points (4-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and a block in 35 minutes during Saturday's Game 5 win over the Rockets.

Davis wasn't as involved offensively as he had been in previous games, and his numbers suffered a considerable drop as a result. The talented big man has registered double-doubles in each of his last five postseason appearances, however, and he should remain a reliable fantasy option across all formats even if he has an off night scoring from time to time. He has scored at least 25 points in eight of 10 playoff games this season.

Davis (ribs) is available for Saturday's Game 5 against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

As expected, Davis will be available for Game 5 with the Lakers up 3-1. In the series, he's averaging 28.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Davis (ribs) is probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Rockets.

Davis continues to nurse a rib injury, but we should expect him to take the court. In the series, he's averaging 28.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 38.0 minutes.

Davis went for 29 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Thursday's Game 4 win over the Rockets.

Davis has posted double-doubles in each of the Lakers' four games against the Rockets, and he has been a matchup nightmare for Houston defensively every time he plays near the rim. Davis has paced the Lakers in scoring during the current playoff run, scoring at least 25 points in all but one game and averaging 29.2 points on 59.4 percent shooting through nine postseason contests.

Davis (ribs) will play in Thursday's Game 4 against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum Sportsnet reports.

Davis has dealt with seemingly every minor injury in the book throughout the playoffs, and he once again entered Game 4 with a probable designation. As expected, the big man will be in the lineup as the Lakers look to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Davis has been fantastic through three games, averaging 28.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 37.3 minutes.

Davis is probable for Thursday's Game 4 against the Rockets due to a right rib contusion, Jonathan Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.

Davis continues to be listed as probable ahead of playoff games, though he was probable ahead of Game 3 due to a finger injury, so he picked up something new in Game 4. Regardless, we should expect the All-Defensive First Team selection to see the court. In the series, Davis is averaging 28.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 37.3 minutes.

Davis notched 26 points (9-13 FG, 8-11 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and a steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's Game 3 win over the Rockets.

Davis has been playing nearer to the rim in the current series against the Rockets and has seen an uptick in his efficiency as a result -- he has posted double-doubles in each of his first three games of the Western Conference Semifinals while shooting 64.2 percent from the field and attempting just three shots from beyond the arc, after making 57.3 percent of his shots and attempting 18 treys in five games against Portland. The change in approach seems to be doing wonders for Davis, who has scored 25 points or more in each of his last four games.

Davis (finger) will play during Tuesday's Game 3 against the Rockets, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

There wasn't much of a doubt that Davis would take the court for Game 3. In the series, he's averaging 29.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 36.5 minutes.

Davis (finger) is considered probable for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Rockets.

Davis is dealing with a sprained pinky on his non-dominant left hand, so while he may be bothered by the issue, it shouldn't impact his status ahead of Game 3.

Davis went for 34 points (15-24 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and a block in 36 minutes during Sunday's Game 2 win over the Rockets.

Davis topped the 30-point plateau for the third time in the current playoffs, and he has scored at least 25 points in all but one postseason appearance thus far. Davis looked dominant in the paint and racked up his fifth playoff double-double as well. The Lakers will need him to remain at this level if they want to get past a resilient Rockets team.

Davis (finger) will play in Sunday's Game 2 against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Davis continues to deal with some minor ailments, but he'll be in the lineup Sunday as the Lakers look to bounce back from another poor showing in Game 1. Davis finished that game with 25 points, 14 rebounds, three steals and three blocks in 37 minutes.

Davis (finger) is probable for Sunday's Game 2 against the Rockets.

Davis played through the injury during the Game 1 loss and posted 25 points, 14 rebounds, three steals, three blocks and one assist in 37 minutes. It would be shocking if he's unavailable for Game 2.

Davis had 25 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three steals, three blocks and one assist in 37 minutes during Friday's 112-97 Game 1 loss to Houston.

Davis was clearly the Lakers' best player on what was a disappointing night for the franchise. Despite across-the-board production, Davis still needs to be doing more on the offensive end if the Lakers are to move on to the conference finals. P.J. Tucker did a fantastic job limiting Davis to just 16 shot attempts, and as we all know, Tucker is not going to take a backward step despite the obvious mismatch.

Davis (finger) is starting Friday's Game 1 against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Davis was dealing with a sprained fifth finger on his left hand heading into the contest, but it won't keep him out for Game 1. Davis averaged 29.8 points and 9.4 rebounds over 32.6 minutes per game during the first round of the playoffs.

Davis finished with 43 points (14-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), nine boards, four assists, and one steal in 36 minutes of a 131-122 win against Portland on Saturday.

Davis lived up to his billing turning in a big performance when his team needed him to win game five and the first-round series against Portland. Davis's status entering the game was shrouded with some uncertainty as he dealt with a back issue that forced him out of game four, but he showed no ill effects in closing out the Trail Blazers.

Davis (back) will play during Saturday's Game 5 against the Trail Blazers.

As expected, Davis will play despite back soreness. In the series, Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 31.8 minutes.

Davis (back) is probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Trail Blazers.

Davis is still dealing with back spasms despite the extra time off due to postponements. That said, he's expected to play in Game 5 with the Lakers up 3-1. In the series, Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 31.8 minutes.

Davis (back) is expected to play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

After a stellar first half, Davis left Monday's Game 4 with back spasms, but the issue doesn't look to be anything serious. Coach Frank Vogel said Davis told him he should be good to go Wednesday night, and the expectation is that the big man will be listed as probable on the Lakers' official injury report.

Davis won't return to Monday's Game 4 against the Trail Blazers due to back spasms, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Davis left the contest in the second half and the team ruled him out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Markieff Morris and Kyle Kuzma will see more playing time down the stretch of Game 4 with Davis sidelined. He'll finish with 18 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal in 18 minutes of action.

The Lakers list Davis as probable for Monday's Game 4 matchup with the Trail Blazers due to a sore left ankle.

Davis, LeBron James (groin) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) are listed as probable, but all three players are expected to start and handle normal minutes loads. Through the first three games of the series, Davis has dominated a suspect Portland defense, averaging 29.3 points, 11.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals.

Davis went for 29 points (11-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-4 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 116-108 Game 3 win over the Blazers.

Davis has posted three double-doubles in the first three games of the series but has also done an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet -- he is averaging 29.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals per contest in the first three games of the series against Portland, providing massive value on both ends of the court and carrying the Lakers at times.

Davis (knee) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's Game 3 against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

The 27-year-old was considered probable with a sore right knee, so it's hardly a surprise he's ready for Saturday's matchup. Davis is averaging 29.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 34.0 minutes through the first two games of the series.

Davis is probable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Trail Blazers due to a sore right knee.

Davis hurt his knee during Game 2, but he stayed in the contest. Ultimately, the injury shouldn't prevent him from taking the floor Saturday. In the series, he's averaging 29.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 34.0 minutes.

Davis racked up 31 points (13-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 29 minutes during Thursday's 111-88 Game 2 win over the Blazers.

Davis only needed 21 shots to score 31 points, and it was the first time he surpassed the 30-point mark since Aug. 3, when he scored 42 points against the Jazz. Davis barely played in the second half, however, and he should be rested for Saturday's Game 3, where he will try to continue his ongoing streak of three straight games scoring at least 27 points.

Davis (knee) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 2 against Portland, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

As anticipated, Davis will resume his normal spot and remain in the starting five despite nursing right knee soreness. The former Kentucky standout posted 28 points and 11 rebounds in Game 1 on Tuesday.

Davis (knee) is probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Trail Blazers, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

Davis continues to be bothered by right knee soreness, but it's nothing that's expected to keep the star big man sidelined Thursday. Davis played well in Game 1, though wasn't especially efficient, posting 28 points (8-24 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-17 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist in 39 minutes.
