Davis left the game early in the first quarter due to a non-COVID illness. His status in relation to the Raptors remains unknown.
The current hot streak of Anthony Davis on the court is over.
The big man left Tuesday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which ended 116-102, in the first quarter with flu-like symptoms.
The team quickly said he would not play again
This ended Davis’ incredible run, which included back-to-back games with 40 points and 10 rebounds and nine games in a row with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers provided updates on AD’s illness after the game, stating that it was not COVID but rather a high fever that prevented him from playing:
Davis played the Cavs for the first 8:07 of the game before leaving, going straight to the locker room, and never coming back.
The broadcast said Davis had started to feel sick on Tuesday morning.
He tried to get through it but only played part of the first quarter before going down.
Davis has only missed two games this season, but his status for Wednesday’s back-to-back Lakers games in Toronto will be uncertain.
Cleveland is playing the third game of a six-game road trip that the Lakers are currently in.
The Lakers will play Philadelphia on Friday and the Pistons on Sunday following the back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday.
If Davis had to leave the game on Tuesday, it’s hard to imagine that he would be healthy enough to play again within 24 hours.
Also, considering what would be expected of him in a possible matchup against Joel Embiid and the Sixers, it might be best to keep him out of Wednesday’s game and try to get healthy.
Before this season, the team also had to deal with flu-like symptoms, which affected a number of players, including LeBron James, and caused them to miss games.
Davis being kept away from the team could keep the team healthy enough to finish this stretch strong and prevent another situation like that.
Shaquille O’Neal is fascinated by Anthony Davis’ impressive statistics:
Anthony Davis has been playing incredible basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers over the past few games, including Sunday’s 55-point performance against the Washington Wizards.
He is playing the best ball I’ve seen in a while, and I just hope he can stay healthy.
Shaquille O’Neal, a legend among Lakers players, has been impressed.
Before the Lakers took on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night, O’Neal and the dynamite group carved out opportunity to see the value in Davis’ amazing execution.
AD has averaged 49.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks over the course of two games.
The legendary big man has paid attention to his MVP-like numbers.
The Lakers are climbing up the Western Conference standings after a rough start thanks to impressive play from their stars.
Davis has been playing great basketball, as have LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
Los Angeles (10-12) is looking to win more games after winning eight of its last ten.
The Brow has played well over the past nine games, averaging 35.3 points, 15.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game.
Davis has a chance of finishing third on the MVP list if the
