Davis suffered this horrible injury during the second quarter of the game. He went airborne to catch a pass from Malik Monk when he landed on the heels of Rudy Gobert. Davis went down clutching his right ankle and had to be taken off the court shortly.
The Lakers are currently 9th in the Western Conference. And with Anthony Davis missing out on action for 2 weeks at least, the Lakers face an even tougher challenge for the playoff spot.

Man. You’ve got to feel for AD, he’s got so much talent yet held back by injuries. Being in the conversation for top bigs in the league despite all the injuries… imagine a consistently healthy AD
