Anthony Davis injury status vs. Mavs
The Lakers have Davis listed as probable to play with a right foot stress injury. This is the same injury that sidelined the eight-time All-Star on Wednesday, although it is worth noting that LA opted to have Davis sit that game out as part of his injury management. Head coach Darvin Ham said that AD has been playing pain-free, which means that his absence against the Rockets was merely for rest purposes since it was on the second night of a back-to-back set.
In other injury news, LeBron James remains sidelined for the Lakers, along with big man Mo Bamba.
The Mavs, on the other hand, will be missing the services of Luka Doncic for a fourth straight game due to a thigh injury. Kyrie Irving (foot) remains questionable to play, while Tim Hardaway Jr., Marikieff Morris, and JaVale McGee are likewise all questionable to play.
The Lakers are currently in possession of a 34-36 record and are 10th in the West. The Mavs are one game ahead of them at eighth.
Now, with regard to the question, is Anthony Davis playing tonight vs. the Mavs, the answer is probably.
