Per Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet, Davis went to the locker room to get his shoulder re-taped. However, it is clearly not a good sign as the All-Star forward has been dealing with soreness on his shoulder before the game.

AD was given a late green light to participate in the contest. He tested his sore shoulder pre-game, and the Frank Vogel and staff decided to allow him to play.
Davis has been huge for the Purple and Gold franchise in their first three games of the season. Heading to the showdown with Memphis, he was averaging 25.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.3 blocks.
The 26-year-old former New Orleans Pelicans standout is also shooting well so far, registering a 43.9 percent shooting clip from the field, 33.3 percent from deep and 81.5 percent from the free-throw line.
Los Angeles and their fans are certainly hoping that Davis will be able to stay healthy moving forward in what is expected to be a critical season for the team.

UPDATE: Anthony Davis has returned to the game after getting his shoulder re-taped.
AD has returned to the game at the 6:34 mark with LAL trailing 41-38.
