During the first quarter of Friday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, Anthony Davis looked to be limping and in some discomfort.
He continued to play in the first half, but he was ruled out for the second half with what was called a right foot injury, and it looked like the Lakers were in great danger of losing to Denver.
They fell behind by 12 points in the third quarter, but they went on a massive 49-19 run late in the period and in the fourth quarter to turn the game into a happy rout.
Los Angeles got the job done with its biggest strength – its transition game – by rolling up 28 fast-break points, and its bench was huge with 58 points.
However, the concern is now about Davis and his right foot, especially given his history of being injury-prone.
