Anthony Davis injury status vs. Grizzlies
Anthony Davis was initially officially listed as probable on the NBA's injury report after suffering an injury scare in Game 1 on Sunday night. That's great news for Lakers fans, as it's almost certain that the big man will suit up for the important contest.
True enough, AD has now been upgraded to available prior to tipoff.
Davis left the court late in the second quarter of Game 1 favoring his right arm, but returned to start the second half and played the rest of the game. He scored 22 points and added 12 rebounds as the Lakers wrested home-court advantage from the Grizzlies, who had the NBA's best home record at 35-6 at FedEx Forum.
The Lakers earned the No. 7 seed in the West by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA's Play-In Tournament. LA missed the playoffs in 2022 and was eliminated in the first round by the Phoenix Suns a year earlier. But the 2023 postseason is a different story; the Lakers have looked great to end the season and into the playoffs, and can take a commanding lead in the series with one more win on Wednesday night.
Now, with regard to the question of is Lakers' Anthony Davis playing vs. the Grizzlies, the answer is yes.
