James and Davis played in last night's 127-125 loss against the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, Davis was playing through a groin injury that he suffered in the second quarter last night. He would eventually come back and finish the game for the Lakers.

Darvin Ham says AD pushed through his groin injury tonight. He’ll be re-evaluated by the medical staff after the game.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Davis's groin injury began in Saturday night's NBA in-season tournament win over the Indiana Pacers. Coming into last night's game, Davis stated that he thought the area felt fine and that he was past the injuring it earlier this year.

James and Davis both played over 35 minutes in last night's game and combined for 70 points and 18 rebounds.

This season, Davis has been averaging 35.1 minutes per game.

If the Lakers want a healthy Anthony Davis to come playoffs, it might be time that head coach Darvin Ham considers resting The Brow and saving him for the playoffs.

Jarred Vanderbilt is also questionable, after having been a late scratch last night.
