Anthony Davis Reinjures His Foot, Sidelining Him Indefinitely
Los Angeles Lakers Forward Suffers Another Setback
Anthony Davis suffered another setback in his recovery from a right foot injury, the Los Angeles Lakers announced.
Davis, who has been sidelined since December 16th, re-aggravated the injury during a rehab session, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Lakers have not released a timetable for Davis' return, but Wojnarowski reported that the team fears he could miss multiple weeks.
Davis' Injury History
Davis has a history of foot injuries, having missed significant time in the past due to plantar fasciitis and a stress reaction in his foot.
The latest injury is a significant blow to the Lakers, who are already without LeBron James due to a foot injury.
With Davis out, the Lakers will be forced to rely more heavily on Russell Westbrook and Anthony Edwards.
Impact on the Lakers
Davis' absence will be a major blow to the Lakers, who are currently 19-23 and in ninth place in the Western Conference.
Davis is one of the Lakers' best players and is averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game this season.
Without Davis, the Lakers will have to find a way to replace his production, which will be a difficult task.
Davis' Future
Davis' latest injury raises questions about his long-term future with the Lakers.
Davis is entering the final year of his contract and could become a free agent next summer.
If Davis continues to struggle with injuries, it could affect his market value and make it more difficult for him to secure a long-term contract with the Lakers or another team.
