EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Anthony Davis said he is cleared to play in the Los Angeles Lakers' next game against the Memphis Grizzlies after exiting Sunday's win over the Toronto Raptors early with a left eye injury.
"A couple scratches in my eye," Davis said, his eye still appearing red and clouded, after practice Tuesday. "But as far as the medical term and everything all that, I'm not 100% sure. But I am cleared to play."
He visited an ophthalmologist Monday as a "precautionary" measure, sources told ESPN, after being poked in the eye by Toronto center Jakob Poeltl midway through the third quarter.
