Los Angeles Lakers Lose Anthony Davis to Right Foot Injury

The Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham on Wednesday did not let Anthony Davis play tagainst the Oklahoma City Thunder.

According to the Los Angeles Timesz the measure was planned weeks before and was aimed at preventing an injury

“He’s very frustrated. He wants to play, but he also understands the process of preventing a foot injury from getting worse.” Darvin said.

“He happened through a stress spike, so anything can affect him. The more you force him, the greater the wound’s reaction.

“I’m not saying it’s serious or anything like that. He is playing without pain. It is one more thing that we are keeping an eye on and wanting to prevent.” Darvin added.

The game against the Thunder was the day after the Lakers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, so that’s one more reason why Anthony Davis didn’t participate. Even so, the Californian team still managed to win by 123 to 117.

Dennis Schroder, who is replacing D’Angelo Russell in the starting lineup, sprained his left knee in the game. However, he bandaged it up and returned to the game.

The 29-year-old point guard scored the most for the golden jersey team. There were 26 points, two rebounds and six assists for the German.

In an interview later in the evening, Schroder said the race was a must win. Like the Thunder, the Lakers are among Western Conference teams fighting for a playoff berth .

Thunder sits the penultimate position, while the opponent is in 11th place. However, they are only two wins apart and three behind the sixth-placed Los Angeles Clippers, with 33 wins.

On the other hand, the Oklahoma team was without its main star, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The reason is a twist in the abdomen and pain in the right knee.

Butz he entered into the league’s health and safety protocols. However, Josh Giddey was the main player in the squad.

The Australian had 22 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists. Lu Dort and Jalen Williams were also important, they scored 19 and 24 points, respectively.
