Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis was ruled out on Tuesday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers with an abdominal muscle strain.
The big man played 10 minutes in the first quarter and recorded four points, two rebounds and a steal before suffering the injury. He was then forced to head back to the locker room to get his abdominal region looked at before eventually being ruled out for the night.
It’s a massive loss for the Lakers, who were already shorthanded without Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent in the lineup. They came in winners of four straight but have typically struggled immensely, especially defensively, when Davis is not in the lineup.
