Anthony Davis' Injury Status for Lakers vs. Nuggets Game 3
In This Story:
The Los Angeles Lakers are listing Anthony Davis as probable for Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets. Davis has been listed as probable throughout these entire playoffs, and has not missed any games. The expectation is once again that Davis will play in this crucial Game 3 matchup.
The Lakers are back home for Game 3, where they have been dominant all postseason. Yet to lose a home game in these playoffs, the Lakers will be looking to keep that going in order to avoid an 0-3 deficit. The Nuggets have been playing great basketball, showing exactly why they were the top seed in the Western Conference all season.
The big man battle between Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis has been fascinating, as Jokic has continued his dominance through the first two games of this series. While so much attention was placed on Jokic's defense coming into this series, he has held up well enough on that end through two games, as LA has not been able to exploit him with Davis the way some predicted they would. That said, the Lakers will continue to make adjustments, and will look to get Davis going more offensively in Game 3.
This is a must-win game for the Lakers, who certainly know they cannot fall behind 0-3 to the top-seeded Nuggets. Game 3 will begin at 5:30 PM PST in Los Angeles.
