Lakers star Anthony Davis will visit an ophthalmologist today after being punctured in the left eye during Sunday’s game, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin (Twitter link). Sources tell McMenamin that Davis experienced swelling in the eye and had trouble keeping it open. He was unable to return to the game, but the appointment is considered a “precautionary measure,” McMenamin added.

The action came in the third quarter when Davis blocked a dunk attempt from Toronto’s center Jakob Poeltlwrites Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times. When they met at the rim, Davis was accidentally hit in the eye and fell to the track. Coach JJ Redick told reporters that Davis experienced problems with his vision after the incident.

“I just know he got poked in.” Redick said. “He had trouble seeing. Obviously it takes a little trauma to the eye, but it takes some time to get your clear vision back. But no further update.”

There’s more from Los Angeles:

• Le Bron James scored 19 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds on Sunday night, making him the oldest player in NBA history with triple-doubles in back-to-back games, McMenamin added (Twitter link). With his 40th birthday approaching next month, James spoke about the effort it takes to remain one of the league’s top players. “It’s pretty cool that with the amount of miles I’ve put on the tires and the lack of tread on these tires, I’m still able to get up and down the highway and do it at a high level doing,” said James. “I just try to give everything to the game outside of the game, before the game even starts, if that makes sense. “I get here four to five hours before the game and I’m already doing everything I can to put myself in a position where I can be the best when the fans are here and the ball is tipped and everyone is going crazy.” James added that he “I won’t do it until the wheels fall off, I’ll tell you that.”
• Redick is impressed with the way Cam Reddish has adjusted his play for the sake of the team, according to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register. Reddish made his second straight start on Sunday night and he seems comfortable in that role. “You just have to take a long-term view and really embrace the things it takes to get that particular team up and running,” Redick said. “And for us, having a defensive presence guarding the primary matchup and the primary scorer, those are the things we need Cam to do. I told him early in the preseason, ‘look, we’re going to figure out the offensive part of it and where we can make you feel like you’re playing a role there. But if you want to get on the floor, it has to be on defense.” And this past week he’s really embraced that.
• Dalton Knecht hasn’t lost his confidence despite a rough start to his NBA career, Price added. The first-round pick is a three-point shooting specialist, but he’s connecting on just 27.8% from beyond the arc in his first nine games. “I don’t speak for him, but I think it’s mentally difficult for shooters if you start shooting the ball slowly.” Redick said. “It can weigh on you a bit. I’ve talked to him about it, he believes the next shot lands every time. And me too.”
