Anthony Davis didn’t quite look like himself while shooting 2-9 from the field as he tried to play through a left knee sprain in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Suns. But even in a limited capacity, Davis was determined to not let the Lakers down and play through it. Unfortunately, he ended up sustaining an even worse injury in the process, a Grade 1 groin strain that’s left his availability for Game 5 — and by extension, the rest of the series — in serious doubt.
There is no issue that is more pressing for the Lakers right now, and so any insight into the team’s thinking on it is extremely important as we wait and see how soon Davis can return, and how healthy he’ll be when he does.
