Anthony Davis does individual drills, still questionable at Rockets

The Los Angeles Lakers star didn’t participate in practice and remains questionable for L.A.’s primetime game vs. the Houston Rockets.

The Los Angeles Lakers may be without their star big man Anthony Davis for the fifth straight game as his status remains a question ahead of Saturday night’s primetime matchup against the Houston Rockets.

Davis did not participate in Lakers practice on Friday and is questionable for Saturday, according to The Athletic’s Bill Oram. The Lakers begin a five-game road trip tomorrow night in Houston in what will be an ABC-televised game. Davis hasn’t played since falling on his rear-end on Jan. 7. He has traveled with the team and has been deemed questionable for a few weeks, but he’s yet to make his return to the floor.

Davis was also spotted doing some running on the floor.

The Lakers are coming off of their first loss to a team with a sub-.500 record on Wednesday night at the hands of the Orlando Magic. LeBron tied a career-high with 19 assists in the loss as they got a lot of bench scoring but their defense was unable to get a stop down the stretch. Adding Davis will definitely sure up their defense, whenever it is they get him back.

Wild-card round schedule and television guide

The Titans and Patriots play on Saturday night on CBS, while the Vikings and Saints play on Fox on Sunday.

Normally, this is where you’d come for all your information on what part of the country will see what game. Well, that’s only for the regular season. Now we enter the postseason where every game gets its own national television window. There is no competition — save for a hockey or basketball game here or there — and we’re all stuck with the matchups we are stuck with. Let’s get right to it, shall we?

On Saturday, Oklahoma did the impossible, coming back from down 25 to take a wild win in Waco.

After going down 28-3 in the second quarter, the Sooners didn’t allow a point in the second quarter, storming back into the game with 24 straight second-half points to win 34-31.

Oklahoma’s wild win attracted 6.785 million viewers, and was ABC’s most-watched Big 12 game wince 2013, when the Sooners played Oklahoma State.

When they completed the comeback, the viewers peaked at around 8.5 million. It was the most-watched televised event on Saturday.

The Sooners and the Bears could very well see each other again in December in the Big 12 Championship, and could see even better numbers in Dallas.

The nation will most likely not be as glued to their television this Saturday, as the Sooners take on 5-5 TCU in their final home game of the season.

Oklahoma and the Horned Frogs kickoff at 7 p.m. CT on FOX.
