General Davis missed the game due to injury, the Lakers may suffer a losing streak


Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darwin Hamm announced before the game that the core player - 29-year-old center Anthony Davis will be excluded from today's away game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to injury.


The Lakers faced a crippling problem yesterday against the Memphis Grizzlies, with 38-year-old offensive star LeBron James injured his right leg and 27-year-old starting guard D'Angelo Russell with a sprained ankle . The offensive firepower of the whole game was obviously severely weakened by the absence of key players.


Although Davis led the Lakers with a double-double of 28 points and 19 rebounds in the game, he was alone. The Lakers couldn't defend against the Grizzlies' 23-year-old guard Ja Morant's 39-point, 10-rebound, and 10-assist triple-double on defense, while also failing to create floor space offensively. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies 109-121.

As of this season, the Lakers are ranked 12th with a record of 29 wins and 33 losses. They need to ensure a rise to 10th before the end of the regular season in order to advance to the playoffs. The current 10th place is the Pelicans, the Lakers are still 1 game away, and the Thunder are 13th behind the Lakers.
