The Los Angeles Lakers announced that star Anthony Davis underwent an MRI that confirmed an abdominal muscle strain. Davis will return to Los Angeles on Wednesday and be re-evaluated in approximately one week.
The injury occurred in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s game at Philadelphia as Davis was forced to head back to the locker room and was eventually ruled out of the game. The result was not pretty as the Lakers turned a first quarter lead into a blowout loss once Davis went down.
Davis and the Lakers have been playing extremely well in recent weeks, so this injury comes at an important time.
