LOS ANGELES - While Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis admitted the tightness in his left hip flared up in the first half Wednesday night, he would not blame his poor play on it in a 125-110 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
"I just played bad," Davis said after tying a season low with nine points on 3-of-9 shooting. "I'm not going to put it on anything. ... It was just missed shots. I just played like s--- tonight. It's that simple."
Davis, who has been managing the hip injury for more than a week, wasn't the only one to struggle as the Lakers' three-game winning streak came to an end.
