Before the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Houston Rockets, who have won three straight games, on Wednesday night, Anthony Davis has been added to the team’s injury report. Fans will be anxiously watching Davis’ injury condition for Wednesday night as they wait to find out if he will play against the Rockets after a difficult performance in the Lakers’ Monday night game against the Miami Heat.
Anthony Davis injury status vs. Rockets
Prior to the Lakers’ game against the Rockets on Wednesday night, Anthony Davis was deemed questionable. Due to a left adductor/hip strain, Davis was limited in his movement and only played 25 minutes in the Lakers’ 108-107 loss to the Heat two days earlier. Regretfully, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports that he has subsequently been ruled out of the contest.
In the latter half of the aforementioned game, with just over two minutes remaining, Davis appeared to have strained his groin. The Lakers center was groaning in agony during that moment, extending his hips to try to ease the pain, and maybe playing through it for the remainder of the game.
After the injury, AD continued to play for two minutes of the third quarter before Christian Wood replaced him. After taking a three-minute break, Davis was able to play for the Lakers for around five more minutes before opting to end the game.
This past Monday, during the last five minutes of play, Davis showed virtually little interest in the game. The Lakers lost by as much as 12 points as a result, forcing LeBron James and company to mount a spectacular comeback that was narrowly unsuccessful after Cam Reddish sank an open corner three that would have won them the game.
The good news is that Anthony Davis expressed confidence following the game that he shouldn’t be sidelined for an extended period of time due to this injury.However, as of right now, the response to the query “Is Anthony Davis playing against the Rockets?” is no.
