Anthony Davis’ MCL sprain and possible return timeline, explained

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee during last night’s game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves when Timberwolves wing Jalen McDaniels flopped and collided with Davis’ leg.

Davis was immediately in obvious pain, grabbing at the left knee, and although he was able to walk off, he fell to the ground in the tunnel leading to the visitors locker room.

Early reports based on manual assessment were that Davis’ overall knee stability was intact, but more information was needed, with an MRI incoming to clear up the overall nature and extent of the injury.
