Davis (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is great news for the Lakers, though LeBron James (illness) and Gabe Vincent (oblique) remain questionable. If James doesn't get the green light, Davis could be looking at a significant increase in usage.

Davis is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain, Ryan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis sprained his left ankle during the Lakers' Christmas Day win over the Warriors. He was able to play Saturday against the Kings, and the injury didn't appear to slow him down as he dominated with 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes in a 132-122 win. Unless he suffers a setback, Davis should be able to play on New Year's Eve.

Davis racked up 36 points (12-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 15 rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 win over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed just four of his 16 shots from the field and ended just two assists away from a triple-double in what ended being a strong two-way effort while also limiting the impact of Domantas Sabonis. Additionally, Davis looked healthy and didn't show any lingering effects of the ankle injury that limited him to just seven minutes on Christmas Day against the Warriors. Davis is averaging 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers made per game since the beginning of December.

EDGE Analysis
Davis was limited to just seven minutes in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, but the injury wasn't as severe as initially expected, and he'll be available for this matchup. Expect Davis to handle his regular workload on offense, especially since LeBron James (illness) will be sidelined. Davis is averaging 21.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game since the beginning of December.

Davis (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice and is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Los Angeles against the Kings, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis went down with an ankle sprain in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, which resulted in him playing only seven minutes against Golden State. However, the sprain might not be as bad as initially thought, as he could play Saturday when the team faces the Kings for a fourth and final time during the regular season. If Davis misses the matchup against Sacramento, coach JJ Redick may have to turn to Christian Koloko more off the bench and rookie standout Dalton Knecht, who both got a bump in minutes against the Warriors.

Davis (ankle) says he is OK and will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis told ESPN he is fine and good to go for the Lakers' next game. This is great news for the Lakers, considering they barely escaped Golden State with a win that Davis mostly sat out. Perhaps the Lakers' injury report may include Davis before the weekend, but his personal update is a promising indicator that he will be available when they host the Kings. Even though they significantly affected Davis' shooting efficiency the last two times both teams played, he still finished those games with a strong defensive presence by averaging 17.0 rebounds and 4.5 blocks.

Davis (ankle) is able to walk without any support and is day-to-day going into Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis walking without any support is a positive update on his ankle, which had caused him to exit Thursday's game at Golden State and was in bad-enough shape that he was ruled out for the matchup. Before the Lakers play the Kings, Davis' ankle status is expected to be updated, and negative news on that front would likely mean his team depends on two-way player Christian Koloko a lot more in the post.

Davis (ankle) is out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will finish Wednesday's game with zero points (0-3 FG), two rebounds and one assist in seven minutes. Without him available for Wednesday's matchup, the Lakers have had to rely on two-way player Christian Koloko at center or go with a small-ball rotation and no true center in the post. As for Davis, he will look to get back in shape before the Lakers host the Kings on Saturday.
