Lakers' Anthony Davis Says Knee Injury Suffered vs. Spurs Was 'A Little Stinger'

Los Angeles Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis suggested that the knee injury he suffered during Tuesday's overtime win against the San Antonio Spurs was not serious.

According to Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation, Davis referred to the injury as "a little stinger."

AD suffered the injury late in regulation when he knocked knees with a Spurs player, but he managed to play the entire overtime session.

Regarding his status for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Davis said he would see how he felt Wednesday morning before deciding whether he'd be able to play.

With LeBron James out because of ankle soreness, AD was the star of the show for L.A. on Tuesday. He led all scorers with 35 points to go along with 17 rebounds, four assists and four blocks.

With the 125-121 win, the Lakers evened their record at 2-2 after starting the season with losses to the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.

Davis, an eight-time All-Star, played a massive role in the Lakers winning the NBA championship two seasons ago. Last season was a struggle, though, with injuries limiting AD to just 36 games during the regular season.

As a result, Davis averaged a career-low 7.9 rebounds and 21.8 points per game, which was his worst scoring output since his second NBA season in 2013-14.

Davis is off to a red-hot start this season, however, averaging 28.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.8 assists in four games.

Not having Davis on Wednesday would represent a significant loss for the Lakers, although they would still stand an excellent chance of beating the 0-4 Thunder.

Should Davis have to sit out, look for DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony to receive increased playing time in the frontcourt.
