Anthony Davis was a late scratch from the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday after waking up with soreness in his left knee.

Davis was initially listed as questionable. He got treatment on the knee before the game and was ruled out about an hour before tip-off. (Dwight Howard started in his place. The Lakers rolled to a 116-95 victory.)

In his pre-game remarks, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis didn't know what caused the soreness and couldn't trace it back to any particular play from the team's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night. AD struggled in that ballgame, putting up just 22 points. He didn't seem to have any burst or interest in being aggressive, frankly.

Friday's OKC rematch marked just the second game Davis has missed this season — though it was the eighth different ailment for which he's been listed on the injury report.

Afterward, Vogel didn't have much of an update on the All-Star big-man.

“I don’t really know what the next steps are other than the medical team just said we want to find out exactly what it is before we put him out there,” he said.

Presumably, Davis will undergo testing/imaging after the Lakers return to Los Angeles on Saturday.

At this moment, it's unclear if there's any reason to be concerned — other than the fact that Kendrick Nunn's preseason knee soreness was later revealed to be a bone bruise, and he hasn't played basketball since.

Davis, who bulked up this offseason, missed 36 of 72 regular-season games in 2020-21 due to a variety of leg issues, then re-injured his lower leg in the playoffs.
