Davis (illness) is probable to play in Friday's game against Philadelphia, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis only played eight minutes Tuesday and missed Wednesday's game due to a non-COVID illness. The star big man's return will likely send Thomas Bryant back to the bench. The Lakers should be close to full strength Friday, with LeBron James (ankle) also probable to play.

Davis (illness) won't be available Wednesday versus the Raptors, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

On a positive note, Davis' illness is listed as the non-COVID-19 variety, so he should be in store for only a brief absence. With Davis, LeBron James (ankle) and Wenyen Gabriel (shoulder) set to sit, Thomas Bryant, Damian Jones and Juan Toscano-Anderson should take on sizable workloads in the frontcourt.

Davis won't return to Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to an illness, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is reportedly dealing with flu-like symptoms and will thus miss the remainder of Tuesday's matchup. The forward logged just eight minutes of action and posted one point (0-0 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists before exiting. It's unclear at the moment whether Davis' status in Wednesday's contest versus the Raptors is in jeopardy or not.

Davis (back) will play in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

This was the expected outcome for Davis after being labeled probable on the initial injury report. The star big man is coming off of 55 and 44 points between his last two games and will be counted on for major contributions again Tuesday, though the Cavaliers do return Jarret Allen (back) from a five-game absence.

Davis (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis continues to deal with low back tightness but has played through the issue over the last four games. The 29-year-old is in the midst of a dominant stretch in which he's posted 10 consecutive double-doubles. He was especially productive over the weekend, as he posted 44 points Friday against the Bucks before dropping 55 points against Washington on Sunday.

Davis chipped in 55 points (22-30 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 130-119 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was at his best once again Sunday, continuing what has been a simply dynamic stretch of games. The Lakers have now won eight of their last 10 games on the back of Davis and his career-best play. The numbers don't lie in this instance, with Davis sitting as the number one player in fantasy basketball. While we have seen this from Davis in the past, it's fair to say no one saw it coming. For anyone who managed to snap him up in the second round of drafts, life certainly is sweet right now.

Davis (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
