The Lakers are trading Davis (abdomen), Max Christie and their 2029 first-round draft pick to the Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf), Maxi Kleber (foot) and Markieff Morris in a three-team trade involving the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

As part of the trade, the Jazz will receive Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) and two second-round picks. It's a monumental shift for the Mavericks and Lakers, with Davis now heading to Dallas to pair up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson while Doncic heads to Los Angeles to team up with LeBron James. The trade is pending players passing their physicals, but it's a move that has truly shaken up the Western Conference and the NBA.

The Lakers announced that Davis underwent an MRI on Wednesday that confirmed an abdominal muscle strain. He will return to Los Angeles and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was sent in for the MRI after exiting Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the 76ers late in the first quarter with the abdominal injury and being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The star big man will sit out the remaining three games of the Lakers' road trip before the team likely provides another update on status ahead of its Feb. 6 home game against the Warriors. In the meantime, LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura could absorb more usage on offense, while Jaxson Hayes, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Koloko could all be more involved in the frontcourt.

However, he's trending toward playing, which is good news for Los Angeles, who'll be trying to win a fifth straight game.
