Lakers star center Anthony Davis left Los Angeles’ Tuesday road game against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first quarter with an abdominal strain and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Following the Lakers’ 118-104 defeat, Los Angeles coach JJ Redick said regarding Davis, “Level of concern? I think he’ll be fine.”
Davis had four points with two rebounds in 10 minutes before departing with 2:10 left in the opening quarter.
Playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Davis was coming off a 42-point, 23-rebound performance Monday in a road victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It was the fifth 40-20 game of his career.
The 31-year-old has missed three of the Lakers’ 45 games this season.
In his 13th NBA season, Davis is scoring 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. The nine-time All-Star has averaged 24.2 points with 10.7 rebounds over 777 career games (770 starts) for the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans (2012-19) and the Lakers.
