Davis registered 31 points (11-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big led all scorers on the night as he topped 30 points for the third straight game and the sixth time in his first eight contests this season. Davis is seeing his highest usage rate since he joined the Lakers in 2019-20, and his 32.4 points per game would be a new career high if he can maintain that pace. He's also averaging 11.4 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.4 steals while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor.

Davis (heel) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is returning from a one-game absence due to a bruised left foot. Given it was just one missed game, look for the star big man to take on his usual role in Los Angeles' frontcourt assuming he avoids any setbacks. He is averaging a monster 32.6 points per game this year through seven games to go along with 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks across 36.3 minutes.

Davis (heel) is probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies due to left plantar fasciitis, though he will likely suit up Friday. The superstar has produced a stellar start to the year, during which he has averaged 32.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.6 steals across 36.3 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings. Davis' two-way abilities have been crucial for the Lakers thus far, and another absence would likely land Jaxson Hayes (knee) in the starting lineup again.

Davis (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis and Rui Hachimura (illness) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest, marking the first absences from any Lakers starters yet this season. The Lakers rank 21st in defensive rating even with Davis thus far, so subtracting him will be a sizable loss on both ends. Jaxson Hayes is a top candidate to slide into the starting lineup.

Davis (ankle) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of tipoff, but it's a good sign that he's able to get some shots up with ease. He appeared to be moving well, but it's possible the Lakers wait and see how he feels after warmups before a decision is made.

Davis (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is considered day-to-day after suffering a left ankle sprain during Monday's loss to the Pistons, so his questionable tag isn't surprising. The Lakers will likely wait until the last second to determine Davis' availability Wednesday. If he's sidelined, Jaxson Hayes would be a candidate to start at center if Los Angeles opts for a traditional first five.

Davis is day-to-day after suffering a left ankle injury during Monday's 115-103 loss to the Pistons, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis didn't seem overly concerned about the injury in the locker room after the game, stating he'll talk with his trainer to determine the extent of the issue and how to proceed. McMenamin notes that the team will treat this as a true day-to-day situation, so it'll be important to keep an eye on how Davis' ankle responds over the next few days. His status for Wednesday's game in Memphis is up in the air at this point.

Davis injured his foot in the final minutes of Monday's 115-103 loss to the Pistons, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. He closed with 37 points (13-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Davis posted 30-plus points for the fifth time through only seven regular-season outings. The big man said postgame he aggravated a left foot injury, and he's not sure it'll be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game versus Memphis, though he'll test the foot with the training staff, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic. Davis continues to dominate on both ends of the floor, and he has averaged 32.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.6 steals across 36.4 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings.
