LOS ANGELES -- Lakers big man Anthony Davis was a late scratch Friday night because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, the team announced about 30 minutes before its game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Davis has played in all but two games for L.A. this season, averaging 25.8 points on 52.3% shooting, 11.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 blocks.
Jaxson Hayes started at center with Davis out.
Lakers coach JJ Redick complimented Hayes' effort in the Lakers' win Wednesday over the Miami Heat, which snapped a three-game losing streak.
