My initial reaction to the AD injury for @The Athletic — including LA likely having to go even smaller now: theathletic.com/3024858/2021/1…10:01 PM

Re: Anthony Davis: It sounds like AD has a Grade 2 MCL sprain. The average time lost for these types of injuries is ~22 games. He previously dealt with a MCL sprain in the same knee and missed the final 3 games of the 2012-13 season. – 9:54 PM
