Lakers forward Anthony Davis, who has been recovering from a sprained thumb, will play Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center.
Davis had an MRI exam Monday that ruled out a serious injury, but he didn’t play in the game against the Warriors at Staples Center later that night.
He practiced Tuesday and went through Wednesday morning’s shoot-around without any issues. Davis was injured during the first half of the Lakers’ game while swatting at the basketball. He had it wrapped in black tape but wasn’t sure if he would wear the tape against the Warriors.“I felt like I was able to play and they felt I was able to play as well, so, excited to get to go tonight,” Davis said.
When he last played against the Nets, Davis started at center as the Lakers went to a smaller starting lineup. In the other two games that he played, Davis started at power forward.“It was fine. I think we did a great job,” Davis said. “I think we got some good looks with me at the center position, especially going against a team where their bigs kind of drop back every time on defense in pick and roll, so I got a lot of great looks.
In the three games he has played, Davis averaged 14.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 18.5 minutes a game. “We are not going to play him 45 minutes tonight,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said, “but we will use common sense.”
