Davis provided 22 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 136-105 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited early due to a corneal abrasion in Saturday's loss to Golden State, but the big man was able to recover in time to suit up two days later. Davis didn't seem to be affected by the eye injury, as he went a sharp 10-for-14 from the field while notching his 54th double-double of the campaign, which is third-most in the NBA. Among the best news this season for Davis' fantasy managers is that he's been able to avoid serious injuries, as he's missed just four games all season and has taken the court in each of the Lakers' past 19 contests. His 65 games played overall this season is already his highest total since 2017-18.

Davis (eye) is active Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited Saturday's loss to Golden State after 12 minutes upon suffering a corneal abrasion, but the team has been consistently optimistic about his status, and he went through his typical warm-up procedure Monday, so he should be unrestricted in Monday's outing. LeBron James (ankle) has also been cleared for action Monday, bringing the Lakers' current rotation to full strength.

EDGE Analysis
The team expressed optimism about Davis being able to play in Monday's contest earlier in the day, and this latest development is another step in the right direction. The Lakers should have official word on his availability closer to the 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

The Lakers are optimistic Davis (eye), who is officially listed as questionable, will be able to play Monday against Atlanta, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited Saturday's game against the Warriors due to his injury, as his eye was swollen shut, and he was experiencing impaired vision. However, he regained his vision Sunday and feels better ahead of Monday's matchup. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old will face any restrictions if he can suit up.

Davis (eye) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has officially been diagnosed with a corneal abrasion in his left eye after being poked in the eye during Saturday's loss to the Warriors. The injury has his status in the air Monday, but Davis stated that his vision has improved since the initial incident, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he is ultimately unable to go, Jaxson Hayes should be in line for extended run.

Davis' left eye was swollen shut and he was experiencing impaired vision after he exited early in Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis sustained what was described as an abrasion with 2:47 left in the first quarter, when he was poked in the left eye by the Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis. Though he initially played though the issue, Davis' eye began to swell up before he made a visit to the locker room. The Lakers then ruled Davis out for the game midway through the third quarter. According to McMenamin, Davis is scheduled to be monitored throughout Sunday's off day before the Lakers determine his status for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.

Davis suffered a corneal abrasion during Saturday's game versus the Warriors and will not return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He finished with eight points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 12 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Davis left the game during the first quarter, sat out the entire second quarter, and then was ruled out roughly halfway through the third. Corneal abrasions are typically day-to-day issues, but it will depend on the severity. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Monday's game versus Atlanta.

Davis headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an apparent eye injury, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis left the game in the first quarter and has yet to return to action, so there's a chance the incident might have been more severe than initially expected. If he can't return, LeBron James would likely handle a more prominent role on offense, whereas Jaxson Hayes would be in line to see more minutes as his potential replacement at center.

Davis (Achilles) has been given a probable designation ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Warriors, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has routinely been listed on the Lakers' injury report lately, but he has played in each of the team's previous 17 games. The star big man has averaged 24.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 blocks across 36.0 minutes during that span. Final confirmation on his status for Saturday will presumably come closer to tipoff after he tests things out during pregame warmups.
