Is Anthony Davis playing tonight vs Portland Trail Blazers? Latest injury update from Los Angeles Lakers (November 12th)
With his history of injuries, Anthony Davis keeps Los Angeles Lakers fans on their toes. It remains to be seen if the former Kentucky Wildcat misses the next game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, November 12. The match begins at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the Crypto.com Arena.
The only game that Davis has missed so far this season was against the Houston Rockets.
Eager to bounce back the following game against the Phoenix Suns and the team's first NBA In-Season Tournament game, the six-foot-eleven center was reactivated and was able to contribute 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in the win.
According to the Lakers' recent injury report, Davis is good to go for their upcoming matchup with the Trail Blazers. However, the team may miss the services of LeBron James, who is listed as 'questionable' due to a calf injury.
Other players that are on the Los Angeles Lakers injured list are Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent, who are expected to rejoin the team in late November. Jalen Hood-Schifino is also out with a knee injury, and his return has no timetable yet.
