Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis went down with a right knee injury during the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers 125-121 overtime win against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. This comes as the Lakers continue to oversee the recovery of LeBron James, who sat out of the fixture due to dealing with a right leg injury.

Davis was injured during a clash with San Antonio’s Dejounte Murray. “He was doing his job flying in, and I was still kind of planted on the ground,” Davis described. Despite his injury, Davis continued playing for the remainder of the game.

When questioned about James’ injury, Lakers coach Frank Vogel stated that he is currently taking a “marathon approach”, thereby ensuring that the player does not return to action prematurely. After evaluating James’ right leg, the team’s medical staff decided that it would be best not to put James on the court against the Spurs. Vogel also retains that James has not aggravated the high right ankle sprain that he incurred last season.

Both Davis’ and James’ statuses for the Lakers’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday remain unconfirmed.
