Davis (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to deal with an ankle injury and is questionable for the second half of a back-to-back set. LeBron James (ankle), another regular on the injury report, has been ruled out, so Davis' status is somewhat murkier since the Lakers are in the midst of a back-to-back set. If he's forced to miss Thursday's matchup, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes could see an uptick in usage.

Davis ended with 19 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was unable to top 30 points in a fourth consecutive appearance Wednesday, but he remained effective on the boards to finish with his 15th consecutive double-double. While he was unavailable for last Friday's loss to the Spurs, he hasn't missed a beat upon his return, playing at least 35 minutes in each of his last two outings. Since the start of December, he's averaged 27.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 36.4 minutes per game.

Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been on nearly every injury report this season, but he's only missed two games so far. It's worth noting that Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set with a game against Minnesota scheduled for Thursday, so there's always a possibility for a maintenance day for Davis and LeBron James (calf, questionable).

Davis posted 32 points (14-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 114-109 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis and LeBron James continue to defy their injury tags and push through with sizzling totals. Davis missed Friday's game against the Spurs but came back with a massive line Monday, extending his double-double streak to 14.

Davis (hip/groin) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was considered questionable leading up to Monday night's matchup, but he'll be ready to go after missing Friday's clash in San Antonio. He's coming off a pair of 37-point performances and should be able to shoulder a full workload barring any setbacks.

Davis (hip/groin) is questionable for Monday's game against New York, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was unavailable for Friday's game against the Spurs but will be in the mix to return against the Knicks. If he sits out once again, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood (illness) are candidates to see increased run.

Davis (hip/groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out after being spotted in sweats ahead of pregame warmups. It'll be the big man's first absence since Nov. 8. In Davis' stead, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood are candidates for increased roles. Davis' next chance to suit up will come Monday versus the Knicks.

Davis (hip/groin) is listed as questionable, but he was spotted wearing sweats in the locker room before pregame warmups, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hasn't been formally downgraded, but it sounds like he's trending toward doubtful after playing in both halves of the Lakers' back-to-back set earlier this week. During those contests, Davis averaged 37.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks, so his potential absence Friday may just be precautionary.

Davis (groin/hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to carry a questionable tag for the Lakers, but so far, he's managed to fight through the pain. He's appeared in 17 straight games, though he has taken a couple knocks to his hip in recent games. Despite being less than 100 percent, Davis managed to put up 37 points in 38 minutes against the Spurs on Wednesday.
