Lakers: Anthony Davis Has Abdominal Strain, Will Be Re-Evaluated In a Week

Description

The Lakers didn't provide an injury update for Anthony Davis following Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia, but didn't need much time to give one today. 

Scans confirmed an abdominal strain, and the team said he'd be sent back to Los Angeles and then re-evaluated again in about a week. Big picture, it could be worse, but it still means LA will likely be without its star for at least four games, potentially a few more. And as we've seen (and saw very clearly last night) the Lakers do not perform well, especially on defense, when Davis isn't available. 

So what's next? 

Well, the Lakers have to take a look at their pre-deadline strategy, and try and get some clarity. If they're confident it's a 1-3 week injury, does Rob Pelinka proceed as he would have had Davis not been injured? Does he try to push harder for a center, maybe even overpaying a little, in order to fill the gap? 

It's not going to be easy for the Lakers to tread water with Davis on the sidelines.
