Anthony Davis cleared by Lakers, will play against Warriors

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis has been cleared and will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors, according to coach Frank Vogel.

Davis had suffered a sprained right thumb during a preseason game Saturday in Shenzhen, China.

An MRI on Davis' thumb came back clean Monday, the team announced.

Davis suffered the injury swatting at the ball midway through the first quarter. He started at center as the Lakers employed a small-ball lineup, surrounding him with LeBron James, Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley and Danny Green.
