Davis (foot) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Nuggets, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.
As expected, with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention, Davis will sit out the final three games of the season. Davis had a nice year on a per-game basis -- 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals -- but appeared in just 40 games. Various absences continue to take a toll on the big man's fantasy value, and he's appeared in just 76 games across the past two seasons.
Davis (foot) is out for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
LeBron James (ankle) has already been ruled out for the season, but the Lakers haven't gone that far yet with Davis, Russell Westbrook (shoulder) or Carmelo Anthony (illness). Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker should again be the driving forces of the offense Friday.
Davis (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The trio of Davis, LeBron James (ankle) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder) are all out for Thursday's game against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. It won't be surprising if they don't step on the court again this season.
Davis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Davis has been able to play through the mid-foot sprain since returning to the lineup April 1, but it's unclear if he'll be available against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. With LeBron James' (ankle) status also uncertain for Thursday, Dwight Howard and Wenyen Gabriel could see additional opportunities in the Lakers' frontcourt if Davis sits.
Davis ended with 21 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 loss to the Suns.
The Lakers could have used Davis' talents down the stretch, but his late flurry of production comes too late for the Lakers, who were eliminated from the playoffs in the loss. It will be interesting to see where Davis ends up in the offseason, as the veteran guard played in only 40 games this season and only 36 games in 2020-21. His injury issues could be the last straw for the Lakers, who aren't getting their money's worth. His fantasy value has taken another huge hit this season, which should adversely affect his ADP in 2022-23.
