Davis (back) won't play in Thursday's preseason contest against Minnesota, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
Davis was a late scratch for Wednesday's preseason matchup against Phoenix with minor back tightness. The Lakers therefore won't be taking any chances with Davis during the preseason, and they'll let the veteran rest as much as he needs. The former Kentucky standout joins LeBron James (rest) and Russell Westbrook (rest) on the sidelines for Thursday's game.
