Lakers star Anthony Davis injured his left ankle late in Los Angeles’ loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, Nov. 4.
DETROIT —
Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis shoots over Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren during the first half of an NBA basketball game Monday, Nov. 4, in Detroit. “Landed on the spot that’s been killing me,” the NBA’s leading scorer said softly after Detroit’s 115-103 victory. Davis went up for a layup and after being fouled by Pistons center Jalen Duren, he tumbled down to the court and grabbed his left ankle.Davis stayed in the game and continued to score, finishing with 37 points a game after he had a season-high 38 points in a win at Toronto.
The 31-year-old Davis is scoring a league-high 32.6 points, coming off an outstanding season in which the oft-injured center played in a career-high 76 games.“He’s a pro’s pro,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said. “There’s a reason why he’s had the career he’s had and why he’s going to be in the Hall of Fame. It’s not just because of raw talent, but because he’s a worker and loves the game.”
