On February 15, Beijing time, the Lakers faced the Nuggets away. Anthony Davis played only 14 minutes and scored 15 points and 4 rebounds on 5 of 11 shots. Before the end of the first half, he was bruised in his calf, causing the existing tendinitis to intensify, and because the position was near the Achilles tendon, the Lakers had to retire him at halftime.
Davis played and stopped this season, and he returned to the Grizzlies in the last game. He scored 35 points in 27 shots, and his state is still very strong. In the first quarter of today, although Jokic played very positively in the opening game, Davis did not lose the wind. Even if he missed consecutively outside the penalty area at the beginning, he still succeeded in the interior, including completing the empty space with LeBlanc. Receive and hold the ball to make a small Porter foul.
He scored 8 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, and the Lakers tied the Nuggets. After his return in the second quarter, he also immediately played with LeBron in line with LeBron, first receiving the ball and dunking and causing Morris to foul, and then cut back and hit a single-handed throw. But in the second half, Kickey led the team to overtake, Davis alone led the team to no effect, and the Lakers basically didn't score in 3 minutes.
And after 2 minutes and 39 seconds he was fouled by Jokic, his already injured calf was hit, obviously painful, even affecting walking, he had to return to the locker room early after the free throw. In the end, Davis scored 15 points with 5 of 11 in the first half.
Davis did not start in the second half and everyone was waiting for his diagnosis. Halfway through the third quarter, ESPN reported that the tendinitis near Davis's Achilles tended to intensify and there was some swelling. He will undergo an MRI examination tomorrow to confirm the severity. It is impossible to return to the game.
Davis has been troubled by the tension of the calf muscles recently. He previously said that this is not an Achilles tendon problem, but because of the sensitive location of the injury, he needs to watch carefully and deal with it carefully. But I didn't expect what the Lakers were afraid of, Davis entered the injury list again, and I don't know how much it would affect his future plans.
