Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis and Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins reach for a rebound during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles, Saturday, March 16, 2024. LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis, who had an early exit from the Lakers’ 128-121 Saturday loss to the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena because of an eye contusion, is questionable for Monday’s home game vs. the Atlanta Hawks because of a left corneal abrasion, per the team.
He was officially ruled out early in the third quarter, finishing with eight points, four rebounds and two assists in 12 first-quarter minutes.The Lakers had a 36-30 lead going into the second before getting outscored 37-30 during a quarter Davis didn’t play at all, leading to a 67-66 deficit at halftime.“When you lose AD, it just hurts the balance of our team,” LeBron James said.
“ were working on him from the time he left the floor and went back to the training room through halftime,” Ham said. “So the biggest thing is just making sure he’s OK and we’ll get an update on him pretty soon.”Already without their bigger frontcourt players in Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and two-way big man Colin Castleton, in addition to Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish being sidelined, the Lakers used Jaxson Hayes as the lone big man in the rotation for the final three quarters.
“We’re not accustomed to playing without him,” D’Angelo Russell said. “That’s unfamiliar for us. But it’s no excuse. Everybody else that came in stepped up to the plate. But that’s a tough team, well-coached team.”
