The Lakers star was seen grabbing at his hand on the sidelines and looked to be in a lot of pain as he walked gingerly back to the locker room.

According to Lakers sideline reporter Mike Trudell, Anthony Davis was dealing with a right thumb injury but doesn't appear to be a major issue as AD returned for the second half.

With LeBron James already dealing with his own injury that will keep him out, the last thing the Lakers need is another star going down.
King James is dealing with an abdominal strain that he reportedly suffered taking a charge from Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green during their previous contest.

Lakers fans can breathe easy that Anthony Davis is healthy enough to play, especially after his scorching start to the game. AD made his first seven shots from the field and looked ready to avenge their loss to the Thunder just a week after they faced off.
