Los Angeles Lakers have registered their fifth win of the season after brushing past the Rockets at home. They were trailing Houston in the first half but made an incredible comeback in the 2nd half to win 119-117. Anthony Davis scored 27 points and played an important role alongside James and Westbrook to carve out their fifth win this season.

However, while battling it out for points, Davis fell on the wood, holding his ankle. All Lakers fans in the Staples Center held their breath at that moment. Fortunately, the 28-year-old forward continued to play.

After the win, Anthony Davis gave an important update on his ankle.

Anthony Davis says his ankle is fine

After dropping 27 points against the Rockets, Anthony Davis came on for the post-game press conference. However, he already knew the first question he was going to be asked, and he said: “It’s fine.”

This comes as a relief for the Lakers and their fans. They have some important fixtures coming up and they do not want their regular starters to miss out on any game at this stage. While they may decide to rest their star players once the team picks up form, they need everyone to be fit and healthy right now.
