Anthony Davis and the LA Lakers visit the Indiana Pacers amid a six-game road trip on Friday. Davis missed Wednesday's 136-124 win in Memphis after logging 52 minutes in the Lakers' double OT 128-124 comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
Anthony Davis injury update: Is Lakers center playing tonight vs. Pacers?
Davis is available to play on the Lakers after being listed on injury report as questionable, which meant he had 50-50 chances of returning. The Lakers center had played 22 consecutive games before sitting out Wednesday's game in Memphis.
He's missed only five games this year and he's on track to beat his personal best for most appearances in a season (75). Davis last played 60+ games in 2017-18 with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers have gone 2-3 without their star big man.
What happened to Anthony Davis?
Davis, who has been dealing with a bilateral Achilles issue since January, sustained a left knee hyperextension in the second half of the game against the Bucks on Sunday.
However, that didn't stop him from finishing the night, playing 51 minutes and 52 seconds, the most for a Laker since Kobe Bryant played 52 minutes in a double-OT win over Memphis in 2012.
Davis tallied 34 points, 23 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals. He scored 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime alone, while playing through the knee issue.
