LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis went to the Lakers' locker room midway through the third quarter Sunday night after getting hit in the face while blocking a dunk attempt by Toronto's Jakob Poeltl.The nine-time All-Star was ruled out for the rest of the night with an eye injury. The Lakers trailed by three when Poeltl inadvertently poked Davis in the eye with his off hand, but Los Angeles surged to a 123-103 victory in the star big man's absence.
AP PHOTO'AD is a big-time rebounder, so I had to pick up some of the slack with the defensive rebounding,' James said. 'And then with AD out, I'm taking a lot of eyes AD, because he's putting so much pressure on defenses this season. I take some of that responsibility as well. Something I've been able to do for quite a while, so it's not hard for me to be able to tap into that, even though that's not been my role this year so far.
