Anthony Davis is probably going to miss (at least) the next game the Lakers play, according to the latest reports. And given that he’s dealing with an Achilles injury, the team could opt to hold him out for longer just to play it safe amidst the shortest turnaround any team has ever gone through.
It’s hard to find a lot of silver linings in an update like that — beyond the Lakers catching this early — but one small piece of “good” news may be that if Davis is going to miss any chunks of time, he appears to be more prepared to contribute from the bench and in the film room than he was before.
