Lakers Injury Report: Darvin Ham Sheds Light On Availability Of Anthony Davis In Houston
Your 34-35 Los Angeles Lakers will conclude their two-game mini-road trip tonight against the 16-52 Houston Rockets.
It should be a "gimme" game, the type of insanely-winnable contest Los Angeles could use to pad its victory total and return to a .500 record in a competitive Western Conference play-in race.
But LA will be without its best available-ish player, center Anthony Davis, who had a 35-point (on 11-of-18 field goal shooting and 12-of-13 free throw shooting), 17-rebound outburst yesterday during the team's magnificent 123-108 blowout road defeat of the New Orleans Pelicans. AD will be resting his right foot as part of the recovery program from his right foot stress injury that's been prescribed by team doctors, as head coach Darvin Ham revealed to reporters following last night's game.
"Well he's not going to play. He hasn't been cleared," Ham revealed. "Even though he's playing pain-free, we made an organizational decision, starting with our team doctors, to hold him out of back-to-backs. So it's just one of those things where even though he's playing pain-free... we have to monitor it as we always have done and just go out there and get a W and finish the trip the right way."
