Anthony Davis exits Lakers game with sacral contusion after hard fall

A game that was already chippy became all the more serious for the Los Angeles Lakers after star forward Anthony Davis took a hard fall after lunging for a block.

Davis awkwardly flew through the air after missing contact with New York Knicks big man Julius Randle and seemed to land directly on his tailbone. He immediately seemed to be in a great deal of pain as Lakers teammates and trainers surrounded him.

Davis could later be seen walking quite gingerly to the Lakers locker room in a silent Staples Center. He was followed by agent Rich Paul, according to Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus.
