Davis (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Davis was a late scratch against the Nets on Friday, and he usually carries probable tags, so this questionable designation is a big concern for fantasy managers.
With Lakers big man Anthony Davis on the bench, a late scratch because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, L.A. held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101 on Friday. Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points and LeBron James added 29 points and eight assists as the Lakers survived after D'Angelo Russell -- whom they traded to Brooklyn last month -- missed a potential game-winning 3 with 4.
Davis started the day as probable to play before being downgraded to questionable a little less than an hour before tipoff and ruled out 30 minutes before the game.
New Lakers big man Trey Jemison was a little disappointed in himself after his debut with the team against the Nets.
Even though the Lakers took a flyer on undrafted center Trey Jemison III, they aren't settling when it comes to finding a viable backup center.
Although the Lakers only signed Trey Jemison III to a two-way contract, there is one aspect of his deal that indicates they see real potential in him.
Center Trey Jemison joined the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-way contract on Wednesday, and with Anthony Davis missing Friday night’s game, the former UAB standout made his first appearance for the NBA team.
Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points, LeBron James had 29 and the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101.
The 25-year-old Jemison, who compares his physique to former Lakers center Dwight Howard, brings an intriguing combination of size and defensive intensity.
Lakers center Anthony Davis missed only his third game this season after being a late scratch from the lineup before the matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
