NEW ORLEANS -- After a massive performance in a must-have 123-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis will sit out Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets, according to coach Darvin Ham.
"He's not going to play," Ham said after Davis put up 35 points and 17 rebounds against his former team. "He hasn't been cleared. Even though he's been playing pain-free, we made an organizational decision, starting with our team doctors, to hold him out of back-to-backs."
Davis was reevaluated by Lakers medical personnel about two weeks ago after sitting out the second night of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
