LA Lakers’ Anthony Davis on injury report against Detroit Pistons

According to the Lakers, Davis is experiencing hip pain. Luckily for them, he has a good chance of playing as he is considered likely.

Through LA’s first six games of the season, Davis was one of the NBA’s sharpest players. Averaging 35 minutes on the court, Davis leads the league with nearly 32 points per game. He achieves that average with 57 percent from the field.

Davis has already reached the free throw line on 11.7 attempts per game. He’s killing his free throws at a rate of 79 percent.

So far, the Lakers are one of six teams in the Western Conference to have a winning record. A lot of that has to do with Davis’ early hot streak. While the Lakers tend to rely heavily on LeBron James for success, Davis has been an X-factor since he arrived years ago. Health has simply been an issue over time.

The Pistons expect to see Davis on Monday night. In his last five games against the Pistons, Davis is averaging nearly 30 points and 14 rebounds.

A win over Davis and the Lakers would be the Pistons’ first winning streak this season. Although they were competitive in most of their games, they often struggled to close out games. As a result, they have only two wins in seven games.

The Pistons and Lakers will tip off Monday at 7:30 PM ET.
