Los Angeles Lakers forward-center Anthony Davis is expected to be sidelined for at least one month due to a right foot injury, according to multiple reports.
Davis suffered the injury in the first half against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The big man apparently got hurt when he landed awkwardly after a layup attempt under the basket in the first quarter, although he kept playing until halftime. Davis had X-rays at the arena, and coach Darvin Ham said Davis will be evaluated again Saturday before the Lakers determine the severity of the injury.
Davis missed the second half with a right foot injury, but the Lakers (12-16) still produced some of their prettiest team basketball of the season down the stretch, beating the Nuggets 126-108.
Davis is averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists with the Lakers this season.
