Davis (eye) has been cleared for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unsurprisingly, Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both active for a climactic regular-season finale Sunday. A Lakers win would result in the Pelicans slipping into the Play-In Tournament, while Phoenix would move into the sixth seed in the Western Conference -- allowing Los Angeles to dodge them initially.

Davis (eye) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers are expected to be close to full strength for the season finale, as LeBron James (ankle) is also expected to suit up. Davis recently dropped 36 points (11-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies.

Davis logged 36 points (11-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed Tuesday's loss to Golden State due to a headache and nausea, but he was able to suit up for Friday's contest. He and fellow All-Star LeBron James combined for 73 points in a key win that helped propel the Lakers to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. Including Friday's performance, Davis has put up at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks on five occasions this season. The Lakers can clinch the No. 8 seed with a win in Sunday's regular-season finale in New Orleans but could fall to as low as 10th with a loss, so Davis and the rest of the team's starters figure to suit up and play their full allotment of minutes.

EDGE Analysis
This was the expectation with Davis carrying a probable tag prior to this update. LeBron James (ankle) also has the green light to suit up.

Davis (head) is probable to face the Grizzlies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The probable tag suggests Davis is trending in the right direction after he missed Wednesday's loss to the Warriors due to a headache and nausea. The star big man will be key for the Lakers' playoff hopes, however, and Los Angeles will likely be as cautious as possible regarding his health with only two games left in the regular season. Davis has averaged 24.5 points, 14.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

Davis is out for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors due to a headache and nausea, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered an eye injury against Minnesota that appears to now be causing a headache and nausea, causing him to sit out against Golden State. Jaxson Hayes will likely start in his absence. Davis' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Memphis.

Davis (eye) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was forced to leave Sunday's clash against the Timberwolves after suffering an eye injury, and his availability for Tuesday is currently up in the air. He'll likely need to prove his health in morning shootaround to have a chance to suit up.

The Lakers are optimistic that Davis (eye) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited Sunday's game against Minnesota in the first half after being struck in the eye, and he was unavailable down the stretch. Prior to his departure, he tallied four points (2-6 FG), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 12 minutes. However, it certainly sounds possible that the center will be back in action Tuesday without missing any additional time.

Davis won't return to Sunday's game against Minnesota after getting hit in the eye, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis

Davis went back to the locker room after taking a shot to the face during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis appeared to take a hit near his left eye before heading back to the locker room. Davis received treatment for a similar injury following a loss to Golden State on March 16, so it is possible he could have aggravated that injury. Jaxson Hayes will likely be called upon to fill in for Davis and the already shorthanded Lakers.
