Davis is probable for Monday's preseason game against the Kings due to low back tightness, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Davis is dealing with a back issue, the injury doesn't appear to be significant. He'll likely be able to play during Monday's preseason opener, and it seems unlikely that the injury will be a long-term concern.

Davis (foot) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Nuggets, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention, Davis will sit out the final three games of the season. Davis had a nice year on a per-game basis -- 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals -- but appeared in just 40 games. Various absences continue to take a toll on the big man's fantasy value, and he's appeared in just 76 games across the past two seasons.

Davis (foot) is out for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
LeBron James (ankle) has already been ruled out for the season, but the Lakers haven't gone that far yet with Davis, Russell Westbrook (shoulder) or Carmelo Anthony (illness). Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker should again be the driving forces of the offense Friday.

Davis (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The trio of Davis, LeBron James (ankle) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder) are all out for Thursday's game against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. It won't be surprising if they don't step on the court again this season.

Davis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been able to play through the mid-foot sprain since returning to the lineup April 1, but it's unclear if he'll be available against the Warriors with the Lakers eliminated from playoff contention. With LeBron James' (ankle) status also uncertain for Thursday, Dwight Howard and Wenyen Gabriel could see additional opportunities in the Lakers' frontcourt if Davis sits.

Davis ended with 21 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-110 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers could have used Davis' talents down the stretch, but his late flurry of production comes too late for the Lakers, who were eliminated from the playoffs in the loss. It will be interesting to see where Davis ends up in the offseason, as the veteran guard played in only 40 games this season and only 36 games in 2020-21. His injury issues could be the last straw for the Lakers, who aren't getting their money's worth. His fantasy value has taken another huge hit this season, which should adversely affect his ADP in 2022-23.

Davis (foot) is expected to be in the Lakers' starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is set to make his third straight appearance following an 18-game absence due to a mid-foot sprain. Over his first two games back, the superstar forward has averaged 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 36.0 minutes. Davis will have to shoulder the majority of the offensive load again Tuesday, as Los Angeles will be without LeBron James (ankle) for a second straight game.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has appeared in back-to-back games following an 18-game absence due to the mid-foot sprain. The superstar big man was also listed as questionable ahead of each of his appearances, so the injury designation shouldn't be too concerning for fantasy managers, though they should still monitor Davis' status ahead of Tuesday's tipoff.

Davis notched 28 points (11-25 FG, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Davis did all he could, but the Lakers' playoff hopes fizzled before their eyes despite Davis' excellent totals. The Spurs hold the tiebreaker over the Lakers, which made Sunday's game a must-win, but Davis had his hands full without LeBron James (knee) alongside him. We should expect the Lakers to play Davis until the end, although their playoff fate is mostly out of their hands at this point.

Davis (foot) is available for Sunday's game against Denver, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had 3 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes in his first game back from a mid-foot sprain Friday, and he's good to go Sunday after initially being labeled questionable. The 29-year-old should take on a larger offensive workload versus the Nuggets since LeBron James (ankle) is unavailable.
