Anthony Davis Updates Status After Scary Moment In Game 4

Anthony Davis shocked Lakers fans with his ankle injury in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers big man is on one of the best playoff runs in recent NBA history. Davis gave everyone a scare, and Denver Nuggets players hoped to see him out of the game.

Davis sustained his injury in the fourth quarter of the 114-108 win over the Nuggets. The superstar writhed in pain on the basketball court for quite some time. What happened next? Davis walked it off and continued playing. He helped his teammates win the game, adding a few cool shot. Davis says he is healthy enough to hit the floor in Game 5 on Saturday. This didn’t come as a surprise to you, right?

“My ankle feels fine,” the Lakers big man said after Game 4. “I’ve got tonight, tomorrow, before the game to get it back to where it is, but it’s good enough to play. I rolled it pretty bad, but not too bad. I’ll be fine.”

Anthony Davis may not repeat the same miracle as in Game 4

Los Angeles needs Davis in the upcoming game. He has a critical role on the Lakers roster. Without Davis, the Lakers will struggle to win the match. Davis and LeBron James make the perfect duo in the NBA. LeBron has to have his great teammate around.

Davis is averaging 28.9 points per game on just under 58 percent shooting in the postseason while creating perfectr defense and giving the team 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Should the Los Angeles Lakers win the title, these numbers will be among the best any player has ever hit on the way to the championship win.

What does “fine” mean? Is there any difference between “fine” and “healthy?” LA will probably have Davis on the court on Saturday. But, we may see a compromised version of him. Nikola Jokic and his teammates may use this to attack Davis even more aggressively.

The Lakers big man finished an alley-oop on the next trip down the floor for the team after sustaining the injury. However, he scored on two free-throws after this shot.
