Anthony Davis injury status vs. Grizzlies
A lot is on the line for both the Lakers and the Grizzlies in Game 5. LA can end this series with a win, while Memphis must scrape out a victory to keep their season alive. As such, we fully expect Davis to play in this one. He is currently listed as probable to play, which only means that he should be available.
It is worth noting, however, that apart from the right foot stress injury he is still dealing with, Davis also re-aggravated his hip injury in Game 4. Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the game that AD would require “round-the-clock treatment.” It doesn't seem like Davis will be a hundred percent on Wednesday, but he should still suit up all the same.
As such, with regard to the question of Is Anthony Davis playing tonight in Game 5 vs. the Grizzlies, the answer is that it's very unlikely that he doesn't.
