The Los Angeles Lakers may be without their star big man Anthony Davis for the fifth straight game as his status remains a question ahead of Saturday night’s primetime matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Davis did not participate in Lakers practice on Friday and is questionable for Saturday, according to The Athletic’s Bill Oram. The Lakers begin a five-game road trip tomorrow night in Houston in what will be an ABC-televised game. Davis hasn’t played since falling on his rear-end on Jan. 7. He has traveled with the team and has been deemed questionable for a few weeks, but he’s yet to make his return to the floor.
Davis was also spotted doing some running on the floor.
The Lakers are coming off of their first loss to a team with a sub-.500 record on Wednesday night at the hands of the Orlando Magic. LeBron tied a career-high with 19 assists in the loss as they got a lot of bench scoring but their defense was unable to get a stop down the stretch. Adding Davis will definitely sure up their defense, whenever it is they get him back.
