Anthony Davis Says 'the Eye Is Fine' And Won't Miss Lakers' Next Game

Davis suffered a scary collision with teammate Dennis Schroder in the third quarter of Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The impact left Davis with a cut above his eye and caused him to leave the game.

However, after undergoing tests, Davis was given the all-clear by team doctors. He confirmed to reporters after the game that he expects to play in the Lakers’ next game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

“The eye is fine,” Davis said. “I got hit pretty hard, but there’s no structural damage. It’s just a cut. I’m going to get some stitches, but I’ll be ready to go on Sunday.”

Davis expressed his gratitude to his teammates and the medical staff for their support.

“I appreciate all the concern from my teammates and the fans,” Davis said. “I’m feeling good and I’m ready to get back on the court.”

Davis’ absence would have been a major blow to the Lakers, who are already without LeBron James due to a foot injury. Davis is averaging 26.2 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game this season.

His return is a huge boost for a Lakers team that is looking to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

While Davis is adamant that he’s fine, the Lakers will be closely monitoring his situation. Davis has a history of injuries, including knee and shoulder problems.

The Lakers will hope to avoid any setbacks as they push towards the end of the season.

Anthony Davis’ assurance that his eye is fine is a significant development for the Los Angeles Lakers. The star forward is expected to play in the team’s next game against the Clippers, which is a major relief for the team.

However, the Lakers will need to continue to monitor Davis’ situation closely, given his history of injuries.

The Lakers’ playoff hopes rest heavily on Davis’ availability, and the team will be hoping that he can stay healthy and continue to produce at a high level.
