The Los Angeles Lakers are listing superstar Anthony Davis as questionable to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, while forward Kyle Kuzma remains out.
Davis didn’t play on Tuesday versus the Indiana Pacers because of his sprained right ankle. The Lakers lost to the Pacers, 105-102:

Davis has been a monster in his first season with the Lakers. The All-Star forward is averaging 27.4 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 49.9 percent from the field, 31.9 percent from beyond the arc and 85.8 percent from the free-throw line.
In 26 games this season, Davis has 12 double-doubles.
Kuzma has appeared in 20 games this season and is averaging 11.1 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, 36.0 percent from beyond the arc and 69.2 percent from the free-throw line.
The Lakers will obviously be cautious with Davis since his long-term health is important to the franchise. It helps that LA has LeBron James on the roster. Now that he’s healthy, James is playing like an MVP again, averaging 25.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 10.6 assists while shooting 50.2 percent from the floor, 36.5 percent from the 3-point line and 68.3 percent from the charity stripe.
Everyone wants to see LeBron and AD go up against Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning MVP. Both the Lakers and Bucks are 24-4 on the season. Thursday could be a potential Finals preview. Hopefully Davis can play so basketball fans can watch three of the best players in the world play on the same court.
