Lakers' Anthony Davis: Confirms intention to play
Davis (back) confirmed after Sunday's 124-108 win over the Pelicans that he intends to play in Tuesday's rematch with New Orleans in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. "There's no doubt I'm gonna play [on Tuesday]," Davis said.
The Lakers' medical staff will have the final say regarding Davis' availability, but both he and head coach Darvin Ham are optimistic that the star big man will be ready to go after Monday's off day. Davis finished Sunday's win with 30 points (13-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes before exiting with 5:22 left in the fourth quarter, shortly after he said his lower back locked up when he was shoved from behind while in the air.
